Connected Kerb

Connected Kerb is on a mission to change the world for good. We are committed to making EV charging inclusive, convenient, and reliable. We work with local authorities to build and operate community EV charging in residential streets and local public car parks. We also install future-proof EV charging infrastructure at workplaces, retail, destinations, car parks, commercial real estate, and for residential developers.

Connected Kerb’s charge points support smart charging technology and other future technologies designed to have a positive impact on people and the planet. The company is committed to ensure that no one in the UK lives further than a five-minute walk from a charger.

Connected Kerb’s commitment to excellence was recently solidified by its recognition as Zapmap’s Best EV Charging Network. Furthermore, the company’s pioneering role in scaling reliable public infrastructure earned it a prestigious spot on The Sunday Times Hundred Tech 2026, underscoring its position as a leader in the UK’s transition to sustainable transport.
