Cross-pavement charging firm Kerbo Charge has announced the acquisition of one of its competitors, Charge Gully.
The company said that it would continue to invest in Charge Gully as a standalone brand in order to offer councils and end users flexibility in the product they choose to deploy.
It will also take over Charge Gully’s existing product warranties and stock will be shipped from their central logistics hub.
Kerbo Charge produces a patented, pavement-contouring channel, while Charge Gully offers a lockable aluminium design, and both are British-designed and manufactured.
Charge Gully has built a market presence in a short period of time through installations in Lancashire, Suffolk, Renfrewshire, Coventry and other areas. Kerbo Charge said it will use the acquisition to “springboard UK growth” with the firm on-track to be live with more than 25% of all UK local authorities by the end of 2025.
Ian Mach, Founder of Charge Gully, said:
“At Charge Gully, we are proud to have built something truly innovative underpinned by our strong engineering expertise.
“We’re grateful to our clients and partners who have supported us along the way. With Kerbo Charge now taking the product forward, I’m confident it will continue to grow and help more residents without a driveway transition to electric vehicles.”
Michael Goulden, Founder & CEO of Kerbo Charge, said:
“Ultimately this is about ensuring customers have choice. Charge Gully has built a great market presence, and with the addition of their product in our offering we’ll be able to accelerate the adoption of cross-pavement charging by UK local authorities.
“This is just the beginning of what we believe will be a wave of consolidation across the EV charging sector.
“We’re pleased to be leading from the front with Charge Gully – two British brands working together to solve one of the UK’s toughest charging challenges.”
