Suffolk County Council is looking for residents who own electric vehicles (EVs) but do not have their own driveways to take part in an innovative trial.
Three pavement charging channel products are being tested Gul-E, Kerbo Charge and Charge Gully that will allow residents to run cables from their homes to their EVs parked on the road.
Residents who want to take part in the trial need to have an EV or immediate plans to purchase one and not have a dropped kerb outside their property.
It is also essential that there are no grass verges in the paving outside or metal-cased street furniture nearby and that they are willing to install a home charger.
Funding from the council will cover the installation of a charging channel, planning permission costs for a home charger a section 178 licence during the trial period and up to £350 to cover the cost of home charger installation.
Potential participants need to complete an expression of interest form, apply for borough or district council planning permission, install a home charger and provide feedback to the county council after the trial period.
