Connected Kerb, West Sussex County Council, Adur and Worthing District Councils, Arun District Council, Crawley Borough Council, Horsham District Council, Chichester District Council, and Mid Sussex District Council have formed a partnership to provide a new chargepoint network across West Sussex.

Together the partners will be working together to install thousands of chargepoints across the county within the next ten years, forming the new West Sussex Chargepoint Network. This ambitious scheme will give West Sussex residents the confidence to go electric in time for the ban on the sale of new petrol and diesel vehicles in 2030.  

Connected Kerb are one of the UK’s leading charging point providers, delivering future-proof, cost-effective and sustainable EV charging solutions for the public sector, developers, fleets, workplaces, car parks and other organisations to help accelerate the transition to EVs for all. Its unique solution combines power and data at the kerb to deliver user-friendly and reliable charging and provide the foundation for connected cities and communities. 

Residents can let the us know where they would like chargepoints to be located by using an online form. 

We cannot guarantee that a chargepoint will be installed in the location you suggest, but it will help us map demand and plan the future for EV charging in West Sussex. 

The contract with Connected Kerb is a 100% concession contract, meaning that West Sussex County Council and other partners are not required to contribute any funding towards this project. Where there are national grant schemes for chargepoint installations, the partnership will aim to utilise these where applicable.  

The charging speed is 7kW to 22kW or 50kW. In some locations, this might be limited due to output capacity.

Please note: the time it takes to charge depends on the car battery size which can vary greatly. 
Our 7kW chargers can take on average 9-10 hours to fully charge, while our 22kW will take around 4-5 hours. Rapid chargers take around 1,5 to 3 hours to fully charge.

For fast chargepoints (7-22kW), you need your own cable with a Type 2 connector.  No cable is required for the rapid chargers which are fitted with tethered cables.

You can download the Connected Kerb app via the Appstore or Google Play to locate chargepoints near you and start charging. 

You can also find Connected Kerb chargepoints points on Zap-Map by using the network filter.

From 1 June 2022, our tariff will be 35p per kWh.

How is this calculated?  
Simple: the combination of power and our fee to cover operation and maintenance is the tariff that you will pay per kWh.

There are plans to roll out a network in sufficient numbers which will allow residents to transition to electric vehicles. The objective is to have one charger within 500m of their homes. 

It is the intention of West Sussex to facilitate the transition to EVs, there will be an increased number of electric vehicles which will replace petrol and diesel cars and therefore it is important to install charge points for residents without off street parking. Some additional bays will also be created in car parks.

Connected Kerb will be responsible for maintaining the chargepoints throughout the duration of the partnership. We are aware there are a small number of chargepoints in partners car parks that are not working and are obsolete. We plan to replace these.

Highway design guidance will be followed to ensure that pavement width will remain usable by all pedestrians if a chargepoint is installed on the pavement.

Councils in West Sussex are working closely with Connected Kerb to offer accessible charge points and bays, either on a shared use or disabled bays only.
