New £25 million cross-pavement EV charging initiative

With electricity rates as low as 2p per mile, enabling people to use solutions like Gul-e by ODS to plug in at home – even without off-street parking – can unlock huge savings of up to £1,500 per year compared to petrol or diesel cars.

The Government has recognised that solutions like Gul-e can safely and conveniently help more people make the switch to driving electric. Our cross-pavement cable management system enables safe, practical EV charging directly from homes to kerbside vehicles – with no need for permanent infrastructure changes or costly installations.
✅ Gul-e protects pedestrians from trailing cables and trip hazards with its lidless and flush-fitting gulley design.
✅ Gul-e enables households to access cheaper domestic electricity rates.
✅ Gul-e is scalable and simple for local authorities to deploy. It can also potentially become an income generator.

“With Gul-e, we’re enabling local authorities to make EV charging accessible to all residents – not just those with driveways. This is about making the shift to electric vehicles fairer, safer, and more practical for everyday people.” – Jason Munro, Director of Infrastructure and FM, ODS.
