EV Home Charger and Channel Installation in Stirling

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

Stirling, a historic city in central Scotland, is increasingly adapting to the growing demand for electric vehicles (EVs) by improving public charging infrastructure and encouraging home charging solutions.

For residents living in suburban and rural areas like Bridge of Allan, Dunblane, and Bannockburn, where homes often come with driveways or garages, installing a home charging station is a highly convenient and cost-effective option. However, for residents in more urban or densely populated areas of Stirling, such as the city centre or Raploch, where many homes lack driveways or off-street parking, home charging can be more difficult.

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.

The Kerbo Charge trial in Stirling was driven by resident, Stephen, after he found the product online and we’ve gone on to complete installs in Stirling town which were inspected by Stirling Council. Stephen said: “Stirling council is very forward thinking with roadside charging and with the Kerbo Charge channel install, other councils will have to follow suit to keep up. I’m really happy with the result, it looks perfect and you definitely don’t notice it on the pavement.

How it works for Stirling 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 Stirling 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.
