Newport, a city in South Wales, is rapidly adapting to the needs of electric vehicle (EV) owners through the development of public charging infrastructure and support for home charging solutions. For residents in suburban areas like Rogerstone, Malpas, and Caerleon, where homes often feature driveways or garages, installing a home charging station is a practical and cost-effective option.

However, for residents in more densely populated areas of Newport, such as Pillgwenlly, Maindee, and parts of the city centre, where terraced housing or flats are more common, many homes lack driveways or off-street parking. This makes installing a home charger more challenging and increases reliance on public charging infrastructure. It is estimated that around 22,000 homes in Newport do not have access to off-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.

Newport City Council is the second local authority in Wales to trial charge gullies having started working with Kerbo Charge in October 2024. Gullies have already been installed in Oakfield Road, Preston Avenue, Park Avenue and Tredegar Park View, and the council would like to hear from residents who would be interested in an installation at their property.
