It's been developed specifically to solve the problem of people charging from home and creating hazards with trailing cables. The device raises the charging cable up mechanically, allowing continued use of the footpath without creating any obstruction for pedestrians, buggies or wheelchairs from trailing cables. It can deliver a charging cable from a private property to a vehicle over the footpath, up to a distance of 2.2m. ( Photo credit: Green Mole)Ī company in Holland has developed a new overhead charging arm called ChargeArm. The charging channel is submerged from house to pavement without causing any obstruction. Called the Ox Gul-e project, it was put on trial in August 2021 and it is hoped will lead to a large scale pilot scheme in the future. The success of cable gulleys in their phase 1 trials led to further funding to develop a new cable gulley solution. The trial found that whilst there is no ‘ one size fits all’ solution for on-street charging, a home charger and simple cable gully solution was the cheapest, most highly utilised solution, as well as the one least likely to elicit complaints from neighbours. In 2019 Oxford City Council trialled 5 different charging solutions for residents without access to off-street parking, including cable gulleys. It turns out that these drainage gulleys can also be used to safely lay a temporary cable between the property and a vehicle without causing any obstruction to pavement users. ![]() Some UK terraced houses have drainage gulleys running from the house to the road.
