Motability Case Study: Bridging the Accessibility Gap in EV Charging
““It only took about an hour to get the Gul-e set up after the home chargepoint was installed,” says William. “Now we can charge at home just like anyone else.””
We’re thrilled to see such positive feedback in Motability Operations Ltd’s latest article on innovative charging solutions – especially the spotlight on Gul-e by ODS!
Gul-e’s cross-pavement charging solution is a game-changer for EV users without off-street parking, making home charging accessible, safe, and inclusive.
The praise from users speaks volumes: “Like many people without a driveway, Rose and William were unsure if they could go electric. “We weren’t sure if we could get a charger, so we thought we’d have to choose a hybrid again,” says Rose. “We just did not know how we’d charge a full EV at home.”
Things changed when they heard about Oxfordshire County Council’s Gul-e scheme: a pilot that offers cross-pavement charging. “They explained how it works and said they’d cover the cost,” says Rose. “That changed everything. Suddenly it felt possible.” ”
Designed with accessibility and real-world usability in mind, Gul-e is already helping drivers charge their vehicles at home without compromising pavement access for others — a smart, simple solution that tackles a complex challenge.
