Stormguard Heavy Duty EV Cable Channel Surface-Mounted Cross-Pavement Solution – Matt Silver – 1000mm

The Stormguard Heavy Duty EV Cable Channel is a robust, precision-engineered aluminium pavement channel designed to eliminate trip hazards and provide a compliant route for running electric vehicle charging leads across public footpaths, driveways, and pedestrian walkways. Featuring a 26mm jaw width tailored to house charging cables up to 19mm in diameter, it delivers a flush-fitting conduit that allows pedestrian, pushchair, and wheelchair traffic to traverse smoothly without obstruction.

Manufactured from heavy-duty aluminium that can be cut to length on site, the channel incorporates external ribbed anchoring edges that bond securely into tarmac, concrete, resin, and block paving. Heavy-duty flexible bristles hold the EV cable firmly in place during active charging sessions while effectively sealing the slot to prevent leaves, dirt, and street debris from clogging the channel. Registered under UK Design Numbers 6155494, 6155495, 6155496, and 6155497, it provides a long-lasting, low-maintenance asset for on-street domestic charging.

Under the UK Government’s updated October 2026 cross-pavement EV charging rules (introducing Class F permitted development rights), planning permission has been removed for authorized embedded cable channels. Utilising an approved, surface-mounted flush channel like the Stormguard drastically cuts overall installation expenses—saving homeowners up to £300 in planning application fees and eliminating administrative delays. By integrating directly with local highway authority approvals, it enables drivers without private driveways to legally and safely access low-cost domestic off-peak energy tariffs from their own home wallbox.
