OX Gul-E 2

OxGUL-e是一个专门建造的电缆沟，允许用户安全地为停在家门口街道上的车辆充电。OxGUL-e产品由Oxford Direct services（ODS）开发，在使用时将充电电缆临时固定在精心设计的保护性地下通道中，永久安装在人行道上。这避免了非正式电缆交叉点和公共充电器造成的绊倒危险和混乱，并且该解决方案的低价格点使得用户可以自筹资金，并且希望投资公共基础设施的议会可以负担得起。该解决方案允许不得不在街上停车的家庭进入家庭充电器市场，并且家庭能源价格可以比公共充电器低7倍;所以提供了一个有吸引力的成本回报。作为一个居民资助的解决方案，它还消除了地方议会和CPNO的收入负担，目前正努力为公共街道充电器提供资金，因为使用风险低。牛津郡理事会（OCC）的创新许可开发使快速采用成为可能，这可能改变街道充电景观。地理空间测绘使客户和地方当局能够预先评估场地和可能的需求，简化流程，并支持个人或区域规模的投资决策。OxGUL-e 2项目的目的是通过扩大可行性研究中进行的开发，将OxGUL-e推向大规模的多部门示范。该项目将在一些农村和城市地区试点OxGUL-e;在包括安装、耐用性和维护在内的多个领域提供详细和有记录的测试。除了物理测试外，OxGUL-e 2还将探索快速扩大规模的战略和制造要求，确定投资选择和市场机会，包括通过车队运营商，开发商，家用充电器供应商等进行B2B销售。

The OxGUL-e is a purpose-built cable gully which allows users to safely charge a vehicle parked on-street in front of their homes. Developed by Oxford Direct services (ODS) the OxGUL-e product temporarily secures the charging cable while in use, in a carefully designed and protective sub-surface channel, permanently installed into the footway. This avoids the trip hazards and clutter caused by informal cable crossings and public chargers and the low price point of this solution makes it accessible for self-funding by users and affordable for councils wishing to invest in public infrastructure.This solution allows households who have to park on-street access to a home charger market and domestic energy tariffs which can be up to 7 times lower than public chargers; so offering an attractive return on the cost. As a resident-funded solution it also removes the revenue burden from local councils and CPNOs currently struggling to fund public on-street chargers due to low utilisation risks.Innovative licensing developments by Oxfordshire County Council (OCC) makes for rapid uptake possible which could transform the on-street charging landscape. Geospatial mapping allows customers and local authorities to pre-assess sites and likely demand, streamlining processes and supporting investment decisions at individual or area scale.The purpose of the OxGUL-e 2 project is to move OxGUL-e towards a large scale multi-authority demonstration, by expanding on the development undertaken in the feasibility study. The project will pilot the OxGUL-e in a number of rural and urban locations; delivering detailed and documented testing over a number of areas including installation, durability and maintenance. Alongside physical testing OxGUL-e 2 will explore the strategy and manufacturing requirements for rapid scale-up, identifying investment options and market opportunities including B2B sales through fleet operators, developers, home-charger suppliers and others.
