The like-minded partner for Local Authorities
We understand the market, the audience, and most importantly, we understand you.

Why you should partner with Gul-e

Local Authority owned
and intent on ‘doing good’
Our parent company, ODS Group, are owned by Oxford City Council, so we’re not a ‘here today, gone tomorrow’ start-up.
We understand the risks of undertaking works on the public highway, of appointing external contractors, and of offering products and services to your local residents.
We were built to offer and achieve the same things – and this product was developed with our local authority colleagues and partners in mind.

We focus on community,
not solely on profit
Our product was born out of the need to facilitate EV charging in our own community, not as the brainchild of a venture capitalist, or as a profit-making enterprise.
We understand the value this product can bring to your community, the challenges you currently face in achieving sustainability objectives, and we’re here to help.
Our community are at the heart of our operation – and we understand you think in the same way.

A shared local authority
ethos and duty to service
Unlike private competitors, we understand the pressures and sensitivities you face.
We have overcome the same challenges as you have, we understand the combination of sustainability objectives, budgetary pressure, and the expectation for you to offer continuous improvement in the face of adversity.
The Gul-e was developed for our residents, and we would like the whole local authority community to benefit.

Your objectives are also
our objectives
In addressing our own sustainability objectives, we can solve others’ too. On top of our commitment as a local authority partner, our parent company (ODS Group) also exists to ‘do good’.
Our objective is to improve the lives of our residents, businesses, and visitors – and one of the key ways we can do that is by making their lives easier.
The Gul-e is designed to do that too.
Gul-e in the news
New local authority guidance on cross-pavement EV charging solutions
The UK government has released new guidance to support local authorities in England in developing policies for cross-pavement electric vehicle (EV) charging solutions. These solutions, such as Gul-e by ODS, enable residents without off-street parking to safely and conveniently charge their EVs at home by allowing charging cables to pass across or through pavements.
High costs of public EV charging: A barrier to disabled drivers
Public EV charging remains a significant hurdle for widespread electric vehicle adoption, especially for disabled drivers. Despite falling wholesale energy prices, the cost of using public rapid and ultra-rapid chargers is still steep.
Suffolk households encouraged to join new Gul-e trial
Suffolk County Council is partnering with Gul-e to trial our innovative cross-pavement EV charging solution for households without driveways. Local households without driveways are encouraged to apply to join the trial and be among the first to benefit from Gul-e's safe, easy and convenient solution.
