Charge your electric car at home in Reading, even without a driveway
Reading, a town in Berkshire, is becoming more accommodating to electric vehicle owners as public charging networks expand and home EV charging becomes a popular option for many residents.
For those living in suburban areas like Earley, Lower Earley, Woodley, or Caversham, where homes often have driveways or garages, home EV charger installation is both convenient and cost-effective.
The council’s efforts to support on-street EV charging options are vital too, especially in urban areas like Central Reading, East Reading, West Reading, and parts of Southcote, where terraced housing and flats are common, as many homes don’t have private driveways and 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 £4,000 per year compared to using public charging.
Reading Borough Council kicked off a trial of Kerbo Charge in 2023 and is now accepting applications from all Reading residents.
