EV Home Charger & Channel installation in Carmarthenshire

Charge your electric car at home in Carmarthenshire, even without a driveway

Carmarthenshire, a largely rural and picturesque county in South West Wales, is adapting to the growing needs of electric vehicle (EV) owners by improving public charging facilities and supporting home charging solutions.

For residents in towns like Carmarthen, Llanelli, and Ammanford, where many homes feature driveways or garages, installing a home charging station is a convenient and cost-effective option. In more densely populated areas of Carmarthenshire, such as parts of Llanelli or Carmarthen town centre, where terraced houses or flats are common, many homes lack driveways or off-street parking. This makes home charging more challenging and necessitates reliance on public charging infrastructure.

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.

The first two Kerbo Charge trial sites were installed on 19 September 2024, with the remaining sites expected to be completed by the end of October.

Up to 10 locations will be included in this phase of the trial, making Carmarthenshire County Council the first in Wales to carry out trials at multiple sites simultaneously. The data and feedback gathered will provide valuable insights into how scalable these solutions are for wider adoption across the county.

How it works for Carmarthenshire 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 Carmarthenshire 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.
