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.
