Key facts
- Council scheme
- County-wide cable gully scheme with Kerbo Charge, launched in June 2026 after a 2024 trial. Residents first complete a suitability check with Kerbo Charge, then apply through the county council and pay £499 – reduced from over £1,000 thanks to the government's Pavement Channel Grant. More than 100 applications arrived in the first 24 hours.
- Cross-pavement policy
- Allowed for eligible residents. A gully doesn't reserve the parking space outside your home.
- Charging hubs
- Surrey has installed around 500 on-street chargepoints, mostly 7kW units on residential roads, for residents who can't use a gully.
Charging an EV in Surrey without a driveway
Surrey is one of the few counties offering pavement charging to every eligible resident. A cable gully lets you run your cable from your home charger to your car at the kerb, using cheaper home electricity.
How to apply
- Check your property with Kerbo Charge's online suitability assessment.
- Apply through Surrey County Council and pay the £499 fee.
- Arrange your home charger.
Cost
The full cost is normally over £1,000, but government funding brings it down to £499 – while funding lasts.
Can't have a gully?
