Northern Ireland is steadily adapting to the increasing popularity of electric vehicles by expanding public charging infrastructure and encouraging the use of home charging solutions.

For residents living in suburban and rural areas, such as those around Belfast, Lisburn, Bangor, and Londonderry, where many homes feature driveways or garages, installing a home charging station is a highly convenient and cost-effective option. However, for residents in urban areas like central Belfast or Londonderry, where terraced housing, flats, or apartments are more common, many homes lack off-street parking, making home charging less feasible.

Earlier this year, the Electric Vehicles Association Northern Ireland (EVANI) met with representatives from the Northern Ireland Housing Executive (NIHE) to talk about home EV charging options for residents, with discussions focused on cable gully-type solutions. While the Department for Infrastructure make plans, we are pleased to say that several Kerbo Charge units have been installed at a Housing Executive depot outside Belfast to charge electric vans. The engineers were impressed with the ease of installation (requiring less than 40mm of depth) as well as the design and performance of the product.

If you’d like a Kerbo Charge installation in Northern Ireland, sign up to our waiting list here and as soon as we can go ahead, we’ll email you.
