Connected Kerb is a start up bringing digitally enabled, environmentally friendly and low cost charging infrastructure to residential, workplace and long stay parking.At CKL, we think there is a need for a greater balance of charging options (Rapid, Fast and Trickle) that enables more widescale adoption of EVs across all regions of the UK and socio economic groups - particularly in urban areas where significant portions of the population reside, but where many don’t currently have the option to home charge. In future we think that super-fast chargers will be required for emergency charging or where users are traveling extremely long distances (though most (>80%) journeys are less than 30km), but aside from in those instances, we think that most people will charge their vehicles using on street trickle chargers - enabling vehicle to grid power trading and giving users greater convenience and access to cheaper power. Our goal is therefore to roll our smart, low environmental impact, charging system out at scale in residential streets and other car parking facilities - enabling residents and those parking easy access to charging and high speed WIFI.In October 2018, we won one of the Mayor of London’s Civic Innovation Awards and were confirmed as a strategic partner in three Innovate UK awards that mean we will be installing our smart technology in key borough councils within Greater London.
