Question 1

Is Kerb-e designed as an overnight charger?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Kerb-e has been designed with congested urban environments in mind. The cost, simplicity and footprint of the system has been balanced to allow councils to adopt this minimally invasive design so that residents without off-street parking can charge their cars as if they had dedicated parking. We model our feasability on the basis that each port would distribute 3,000 kWh/yr which is just 8kWh a day.

Question 2

How resilliant is Kerb-e

Accepted Answer

Kerb-e is designed with the urban environment in mind. Our charger uses a flexible upper bollard that is designed to be resilient to the knocks and bumps you would expect in a busy residential street. Our bollard can even be knocked down flat and still return to its original form.

Question 3

How do I pay?

Accepted Answer

On-street charging is designed to serve residents in/around the area, frequently. It is expected that customers would benefit from using a mobile app to pay as this will also enable the customer to benefit from smart charging features. However, Kerb-e can be installed with RFID and contactless payment solutions which will enable a one-tap charging process if required. Our feature set will be dictated by customer behaviour and desires in the areas of deployment.

Question 4

Will it offer smart charging?

Accepted Answer

Yes. This is a requirement of new charging technology. New charging protocols will enable vehicles and chargers to communicate to each other more effectively which should bring about a range of new charging features designed to benefit the motorist.

Question 5

Will my cable lock into the port?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Our system is designed to lock your charging cable into place when charging commences and for the duration of your charging session. Even if your car is not 'charging' but the session is still active (i.e. overnight), the cable will only be released when your charging session has finished.

Question 6

I love the design, can I be an early investor?"

Accepted Answer
