“One thing we thought was really good for these on-street chargers is that the charger is underground and the socket that goes above ground which means it can be repaired easily.”

The Hilton Garden Inn, Abingdon has signed a contract with Connected Kerb for the installation of four dual Gecko chargepoints. These were activated and available to use for customers and staff from day one.
They can be easily found on the Connected Kerb app, where drivers are prompted to enter their payment details and begin a hassle-free charging session.
THE CHALLENGE
The Hilton Garden Inn Promise states: “Our goal is to make your stay better and brighter.”
It wanted to add easy-to-use charging infrastructure in line with demand, avoiding large numbers of unused chargepoints wherever possible but providing enough for customers and staff with electric vehicles.
The hotel also recently underwent a refurbishment after the pandemic so wanted to install charging points that were visually discrete in keeping with their new exterior.
THE SOLUTION
The dual Gecko chargers blend into the surrounding environment and allow two vehicles to charge simultaneously from one unit.
The solution meets the hotel’s requirement of keeping provision aligned with demand. Although all chargepoints have now been activated, Connected Kerb does provide the option to install enabling infrastructure underground. The above-ground socket can be added at a later date once EV demand rises.
The Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) premises are located at Cambridge Science Park.
We've installed ten Gecko charging points which can be used by the many RSC employees who work there or any of the 50,000 members that the organisation serves.
THE CHALLENGE:
Installing discreet, reliable workplace charging infrastructure that allows employees, visitors and members to charge their vehicle while on RSC premises.
THE SOLUTION:
Installing discreet infrastructure to provide reliable charging for staff, members and visitors, while generating a return on investment.
