Over eight million households in the UK (30%) are unable to access the governments Electric Vehicle Home-Charging Scheme as they do not have access to private off-road parking. Providing alternative access to EV charging for people who must park their car on the street is critical to the UK's transition to electric vehicles (EV).Current on-street EV charging infrastructure is complex, time consuming and costly to install and manage; street clutter, costly electrical and data connections and maintenance create a weak business case for investment and limited choice for local authorities and consumers.Our project seeks to radically depart from the existing market offering with a disruptive and simple approach which has not been deployed before. Our experienced team will build on a concept piloted in the Go Ultra Low Oxford Project to develop a design and prototype for a purpose built 'cable gully', which can be used to safely transit an EV charging cable from a home charger to EV an parked at the kerb, allowing the user to use their home energy supply to charge their car. We are not aware of this approach being pursued elsewhere in the UK or internationally.The proposed solution is an example of disruptive frugal innovation; requiring reduced capital outlay and on-going revenue for maintenance while simultaneously enabling more households to be part of future the future smart energy system through allowing EVs to act as home energy storage when bi-directional charging is available. Our solution empowers those who park on the street with greater choice by providing access to the healthy home charger market, and supports local authorities with a sustainable option for providing on-street EV charging access.The project team will also explore a novel sustainable business models together with developing the processes and policies to allow for providing this solution across Oxfordshire and further afield, whether through local authorities; or in partnership with the home charger market.Oxford Direct Services (ODS) will take the lead on gully design and installation together with business model development. Oxfordshire County Council (OCC) will examine how the solution can be offered to residents as efficiently as possible and the policies/processes required to achieve this.This project will move the cable gully solution from 'proof of concept' stage into a position where deployment can be piloted on a larger scale; either with the support of further innovation funding, or through private investment.

英国有超过800万户家庭(30%)无法使用政府电动汽车家用充电计划，因为他们无法使用私人越野停车场。为必须在街上停车的人提供电动汽车充电的替代途径对于英国向电动汽车(EV)的过渡至关重要。目前的街头电动汽车充电基础设施复杂、耗时且安装和管理成本高昂；街道杂乱、昂贵的电力和数据连接和维护造成了投资的商业案例薄弱，地方政府和消费者的选择有限。我们的项目寻求从根本上偏离现有的市场产品，采用一种颠覆性的简单方法，这是以前从未部署过的。我们经验丰富的团队将以Go超低牛津项目中试行的概念为基础，开发一种专门建造的“电缆沟”的设计和原型，它可以用来安全地将电动汽车充电电缆从家用充电器转移到停在路边的电动汽车，允许用户使用他们的家庭能源供应来为他们的汽车充电。我们不知道英国其他地方或国际上正在采用这种方法。拟议的解决方案是颠覆性节约型创新的一个例子；需要减少维护资本支出和持续收入，同时通过允许电动汽车在双向充电时充当家庭能量存储，使更多家庭成为未来智能能源系统的一部分。我们的解决方案通过提供进入健康的家用充电器市场的途径，使那些在街上停车的人有了更多的选择，并支持地方当局为提供街头电动汽车充电接入提供可持续的选择。项目团队还将探索一种新的可持续的商业模式，并开发流程和政策，以便能够在牛津郡和更远的地方提供这一解决方案，无论是通过地方当局，还是与家用充电器市场合作。牛津直接服务(Ods)将在沟渠设计和安装以及商业模式开发方面发挥带头作用。牛津郡议会(OCC)将研究如何尽可能有效地向居民提供解决方案，以及实现这一目标所需的政策/程序。该项目将把电缆沟解决方案从概念验证阶段转移到可以在更大范围内进行试验的位置；无论是在进一步创新资金的支持下，还是通过私人投资。
