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

Enfield, a borough in North London, is steadily evolving to meet the growing needs of electric vehicle owners, with both public charging infrastructure expanding and an increasing focus on home charging solutions.

For residents in suburban areas like Winchmore Hill, Southgate, and Oakwood, where homes often have driveways or garages, installing a home charging point is a convenient and cost-effective option. In more densely populated parts of Enfield, such as Edmonton, Enfield Town, and parts of Ponders End, many homes do not have off-street parking and terraced houses or flats are common, meaning residents often rely 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.

Enfield Council launched a Kerbo Charge pilot in 2024 that will make it much easier for residents with street parking to move from diesel/petrol cars to electric. The pilot will help improve air quality across the borough and reduce CO2 emissions, in line with the Council’s climate action targets for the borough to become cleaner and greener for all who live, work and study within it.

Enfield Council is the first local authority in London to trial the innovative Kerbo Charge technology after successful rollouts in several towns and cities across the UK. Cabinet Member for Transport and Waste at Enfield Council, Cllr Rick Jewell, said: “We are delighted to be working with Kerbo Charge on such a ground-breaking trial which is the first of its kind for a London borough.”

As Enfield continues its transition to greener transport solutions, the development of both home and public charging infrastructure will be key to supporting the increasing number of electric vehicles on the road.

How it works for Enfield 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 Enfield 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.
