Surrey, a county in South East England known for its suburban and rural areas, is increasingly adapting to the rise of electric vehicles through a growing public charging network and an emphasis on home charging solutions.

For residents in suburban areas such as Guildford, Woking, Weybridge, and Esher, where many homes have driveways or garages, installing a home charging station is both convenient and cost-effective. In more densely populated or urban areas of Surrey, such as parts of Epsom, Redhill, or Reigate, where on-street parking is common and homes may not have private driveways, charging can be challenging.

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.

Surrey County Council kicked off a trial of Kerbo Charge in 2024, at 12 sites across the county. If the product is rolled out across Surrey, then it’s expected to significantly accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles by residents with street parking.

Michael Goulden, CEO and Co-founder of Kerbo Charge said: “Surrey has one of the highest rates of EV adoption in the UK but until now moving from petrol or diesel to electric has been much less attractive for residents without driveways. I’m delighted Surrey County Council is trialling home EV charging channels as they really do tackle an unfairness that needs addressing if we’re going to hit our net zero targets.”
