Who are Mike Goulden and Ben Whittaker?
Mike Goulden and Ben Whittaker are the creators of Kerbo Charge.
They founded the company to help tackle the problem of charging electric cars when you don't have off-road parking.
The tech entrepreneurs came up with the idea when it was announced that the Government were banning the sale of petrol and diesel cars in 2035.
What does Kerbo Charge make?
Kerbo Charge created electric car chargers for your home.

The product is specifically designed for people who don't have their own off-street private parking.
The owner is able to lift the lid of the charger and insert the cable into the car themselves.
This means that they wouldn't need to travel to a public charging point to charge up their car.
The company also sorts out the council approvals so the car owner doesn't need to worry about that.

It's put into the pavement outside your house in less than an hour and can be controlled via the app.
However, the product depends on whether you can guarantee you are going to be able to park directly outside your house each time you need to use it.
Kerbo Charge is currently piloting in Milton Keynes, Durham, Reading, West Berkshire, Nottinghamshire, Hartlepool and Central Bedfordshire.
They are working on gaining approval from local authorities across the country to support with safe on-street EV charging.
Costs of the product start from £999 and is able to be installed into multiple types of surfaces such as bitumen, paving stones, and brick surfaces.
The Kerbo Charge is expected to last 25 years and comes with a 10 year product guarantee and three year labour guarantee.
