Vauxhall partners with Kerbo Charge as over 40% of UK councils commit to cross-pavement charging by end of 2026

Vauxhall has joined Kerbo Charge's Electric Streets of Britain campaign, which aims to expand residential on-street charging infrastructure. The partnership comes as more than 40% of UK local authorities have committed to providing cross-pavement charging solutions by the end of 2026, addressing a key barrier for EV adoption among residents without off-street parking.

Why it matters: The commitment from over 40% of councils represents significant near-term procurement opportunities for cross-pavement charging hardware and installation services. For CPOs and suppliers, this signals a maturing market for residential on-street solutions that can unlock EV adoption in urban areas where traditional driveway charging is not feasible.
