If you live in a terraced house or a property without a private driveway, charging your electric vehicle (EV) at home might seem impossible. For many in Bolton, relying on public EV charging points can be inconvenient, expensive, and time-consuming.

But thanks to support from Bolton Council and a tried-and-tested solution from Kerbo Charge, EV charging without a driveway is no longer out of reach. At Voltari, we provide expert EV charge point installation in Bolton using a safe, pavement-friendly system that’s already helping households charge from home, and we’re here to help you take advantage of it.

Why Bolton Needs a Better Charging Option

Bolton is full of terraced homes and older streets where off-street parking isn’t an option. If that sounds like your situation, you’ve probably had to rely on public charging, which can be:

• Costly compared to home electricity rates.
• Unreliable due to availability or queues.
• Inconvenient, especially during busy evenings or bad weather.

With EV ownership on the rise, the lack of a driveway shouldn’t hold people back. That’s why we’ve partnered with Kerbo Charge to offer Bolton residents a practical, safe, and council-approved way to charge their EVs from home.

How It Works: A Safe, Smart Way to Charge from Home

As part of our on-street charging service, Voltari installs the cable channel, a low-profile, council-approved system that sits neatly in the pavement outside your home. It keeps your charging cable flush to the surface, removing trip hazards and keeping footpaths safe, while allowing you to plug in directly from your property to your parked car at the kerb.

As your trusted installation partner, Voltari manages the full process:

• We carry out a free survey to check your home and street setup.
• We support you through any necessary permissions or planning applications.
• We install both the EV charger and the pavement cable channel professionally and safely.

It’s a complete home EV charging installation, designed with real streets and households in mind.
