Charge Gully Projects a Surge in Home EV Charger Installations with Revolutionary Solutions for On-Street Parking
Charge Gully, the innovative Welsh company revolutionising home electric vehicle (EV) charging for households without driveways, projects that demand for home charge point installations could soar by an additional 2 million units by 2030. This forecast is in line with the current UK’s Zero Emissions Vehicle (ZEV) Mandate, which requires 80% of new cars sold to be zero-emission by the same year and 100% by 2035.
The UK is home to 28.4 million households, with an estimated 20% – or 6 million – benefitting from adequate on-street parking, meaning they can consistently park outside their property. Until now, practically only households with off-street parking have contributed to the rising number of installed home chargers, which stood at an estimated 809,000 in July 2024. The many households without access to off-street parking have been effectively denied the chance of charging their EVs cheaply using domestic overnight tariffs – but that’s about to change.
Cross-pavement solutions such as Charge Gully addresses a long-standing challenge for residents with on-street parking, offering a safe solution to carrying their EV charging cable across the pavement. Charge Gully’s through-pavement channel enables EV owners to safely and securely run charging cables from their homes to their vehicles, sitting flush with the pavement to eliminate trip hazards. The channel is designed to meet the strict highway requirements of Local Authorities, taking the load of articulated lorries, having a self-closing lid and being tamper-proof, to prevent unauthorised access to the cable.
Just before Christmas, the Department for Transport released their cross-pavement solutions guidance for local authorities. The guidance lays out the considerations that local authorities should follow when implementing cross-pavement solutions in their areas.
As of the end of January 2025, there were just under 1.4 million electric cars in the UK. The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) expects 6.9 million electric cars on UK roads by 2030. To meet the growing demand for EV infrastructure, Charge Gully estimates a total of 5.5 million additional home chargers will be required by the end of the decade. This figure includes 3.5 million chargers for households with off-street parking and 2 million facilitated by cross-pavement solutions for on-street parking households.
Ian Mach, Director at Charge Gully, said, “As part of our research, we wanted to understand the typical number of installations that could be required for solutions such as ours leading up to 2030.”
“No one has a crystal ball and these numbers remain estimations however we hope that they demonstrate the huge number of people who could benefit from our solution and could charge cheaply and conveniently from home where they have on-street parking.”
