Connected Kerb launches new ‘game-changing’ on-street charging point 

By / 3 years ago / UK News / No Comments

Connected Kerb has launched a new charging point, developed to revolutionise charging for EV users without driveways.  

Connected Kerb’s new ‘Chameleon’ bollard-style charging point is said to be the lowest impact and smallest dual charger solution for public on-street charging in the market

Dubbed the Chameleon, it’s a new bollard-style charging point said to be the lowest impact and smallest dual charger solution for public on-street charging in the market. 

Made predominantly from recycled steel, the Chameleon has been designed to blend visual ‘kerb’ appeal, smart technology and sustainable excellence. At just under one metre tall, it’s also accessible for wheelchair users and not subject to planning permission.   

Designed and manufactured in the UK, the charge point also delivers typical Connected Kerb technical capabilities. 

It supports future technologies such as 5G, IoT and air quality sensors and follows the modular design of all Connected Kerb charging points with enabling infrastructure that contains key components sitting underground. This can be installed before EV demand rises, reducing unused infrastructure and the need for further ground excavation for maintenance.  

Chris Pateman-Jones, CEO of Connected Kerb, said: “We’re committed to facilitating the widespread transition to electric vehicles for users who cannot charge their vehicle at home. Our latest charger design – the Chameleon – is a real game-changer in the EV infrastructure market.  

“To pack so much technology into a small post with a dual socket is no mean feat and the solution is a credit to the product and innovation of the Connected Kerb team.”
