Durham, a historic city in the North East of England, is gradually adapting to the growing demand for electric vehicle infrastructure, both in terms of public charging networks and home charging options.

For residents living in suburban areas such as Neville’s Cross, Belmont, and Gilesgate, where many homes have driveways or garages, installing a home charging station is an excellent option. Home charging offers the convenience of being able to plug in the car overnight, often benefiting from lower electricity rates during off-peak hours.

Those living in more densely populated parts of Durham, such as the city centre, Gilesgate, or the Claypath area, can find it more challenging as many homes in these areas do not have off-street parking, relying instead on on-street parking.

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.

County Durham kicked off a trial in 2023 across both rural and urban areas near Durham city centre. Over 30 installations were completed, and the council is currently deciding on next steps and whether the product can be made available across the local authority.
