Charge your electric car at home in Blaenau Gwent, even without a driveway
Blaenau Gwent, a county borough in South Wales, is gradually adapting to the increasing presence of electric vehicles by expanding its public charging infrastructure and encouraging home charging solutions.
For residents in suburban or rural areas like Brynmawr, Tredegar, and Beaufort, where many homes have driveways or garages, installing a home charging station is a highly practical and cost-effective solution. In residential areas, such as parts of the town centres in Ebbw Vale or Tredegar, many homes may not have private driveways or off-street parking, making charging more challenging.
Our cross-pavement channel allows residents to install a cable gully into the pavement outside their home and easily charge on the street without causing hazards, and you can save around £1,100 per year compared to using public charging.
Congratulations to Blaenau Gwent for becoming the first Welsh council to install a cross-pavement charging channel! The very first installation was challenging as it required a vertical climb up the wall that leads to the resident’s front garden (see picture below) - we used a cable clip system that easily opens and closes to ensure the charging cable stayed flush with the wall. The council is now installing an additional 10 units and will then assess the success of the trial in the coming months.

How it works for Blaenau Gwent residents
Using a public charger for a single charge can be around £25 more expensive than at home (source: Zap Map), meaning many people are taking risks and having to find alternative solutions when they don’t have a driveway. These photos show how our solution makes charging easy for residents with street parking.
Simple.
Residents plug into their home charger, feed the EV cable through the cross-pavement channel and plug into their vehicle on-street.
Safe.
The channel is completely flush which ensures there are no trip hazards for pedestrians using the footpath. It’s heel-safe too!
Secure.
Insert your cable and the specially designed lid snaps down behind just like a zip.
Frequently asked questions from Blaenau Gwent residents
-
Our duct takes the Type 2 cable, which is the standard cable for all UK electric cars.
-
Most charging cables are long enough to reach either one space up or one space down from directly outside your house. Still taken? We find most residents just wait until the space becomes free and then move their car over.
-
We can install in to bitumen, paving stones, and brick surfaces.
-
Although the channel is strong enough to withstand the pressure of any UK vehicle, we do not install across roads because it’s not entirely safe for you to be positioned in the roadway while you insert and remove your charging cable.
-
It is possible but not recommended - it involves ground excavation and laying of a concrete base which is often undesirable due to the permanent removal of green space.
-
Yes, we can provide both the duct and the wall mounted charging unit, or just the duct.
