A new device that allows one‑handed cable connection aims to remove major barriers faced by disabled EV users who don’t have off‑street charging.
A new device that allows one‑handed cable connection aims to remove major barriers faced by disabled EV users who don’t have off‑street charging.
Charging While Disabled Has Real Obstacles
Many cross‑pavement charging setups require bending or kneeling—and rigid parts or awkward mechanisms—making them hard or impossible for some disabled drivers to use.
Kerbo Glide: One‑Handed, No Bending Needed
Kerbo Charge’s new accessory lets users insert the charging cable using one hand, eliminating physical strain for people with mobility or dexterity limitations.
Kerbo Channel Used by Many Councils Already
Kerbo Charge is already working with over 30 local authorities across the UK to install through‑pavement charging channels, making the solution more widely available.
Priced Accessibly, Shipping December
Kerbo Glide is £59 and available for pre‑order now. It’s expected to start shipping in December, giving time for users and homes to adapt ahead of demand.
Independence for More EV Users
For many disabled drivers who rely on the Motability scheme, options for home charging are limited. This device supports greater autonomy even without private driveways.
Small Tech, Big Impact on Inclusion
Avoiding bending, kneeling, or awkward motions makes a simple but meaningful difference in daily usability for those with mobility restrictions.
Still More Barriers Remain
Although Kerbo Glide tackles cable insertion, other issues—like heavy components, setup difficulty, and wheelchair access—still persist in many kerbside charging solutions.
