Cross-Pavement Gully Charging Trial

Helping Bristol residents without off-street parking to safely charge an electric vehicle (EV) at home.

Bristol City Council is trialling pavement-mounted gully channels that allow residents to run an EV charging cable safely beneath the pavement. This removes trip hazards and maintains accessibility.

Bristol City Council is now leading the development and delivery of Bristol’s cross-pavement EV charging trial.

Bristol City Leap supported the initial expression of interest stage for the project. Responsibility for the trial has now transferred to Bristol City Council, which will provide future updates and information.

Where can I find the latest information?

For the latest information about the trial, application updates and next steps, please visit Bristol City Council’s Charge an electric vehicle webpage.

What’s happened with the Expression of Interest Forms?

Expressions of Interest submitted through Bristol City Leap have been passed to Bristol City Council for consideration as part of the ongoing development of the trial.

Bristol City Council will contact applicants directly regarding any future updates.

If you have a question about the trial, please contact Bristol City Council’s Transport Team at transport.engagement@bristol.gov.uk.
