Connected Kerb Scores £110 Million Investment; Plans 190,000 Curbside Public Chargers
Summary
Successfully delivering the benefits of the EV transition to all regardless of location, wealth, or circumstance relies entirely on the UKs ability to deploy convenient and reliable public charging at scale. The investment, and accompanying expertise from Aviva, will not only supercharge our UK rollout plans, but also lays the groundwork for expansion into other markets across Europe and into the US. In fact, the company right now is putting the finishing touches on a plan to bring 10,000 curbside charger to New York City by 2030.Connected Kerbs technology is designed to be as affordable as possible and give all communities access to reliable public EV charging. Unlike many public charge points, Connected Kerbs infrastructure has a long lasting design which makes it possible for the company to offer contracts of between 15 and 25 years much longer than the industry average of between 5 and 7 years.This long term business model means Connected Kerb can access private finance at a lower cost of capital. Every charge point will feature contactless payment via the Connected Kerb app with a consistent network and cost structure across all sites, enabling fair and equal access for everyone.The ninnies who fixate on how horrible the EV charging crisis is will be shocked to learn that there are solutions in the works designed to meet the needs of all electric vehicle drivers.
