Competitive landscape for Connected Kerb
How's the Travel market?
Connected Kerb holds the #11 Free position in the UK Auto & Vehicles category. The lack of a subscription model positions the network as a low-barrier utility, though the maintenance-level release cadence suggests a focus on infrastructure stability over rapid feature expansion.
Read the market outlookThe rivals identified
By Revel Transit Inc.
Both apps serve electric vehicle drivers by providing location discovery, payment processing, and session management for public charging networks. They compete directly for the daily commuter segment that requires reliable access to power.
- Revel provides real-time pricing visibility before plugging in, whereas Connected Kerb lacks this pre-session transparency.
- Revel allows filtering by specific connector types like CHAdeMO, CCS, or NACS to ensure hardware compatibility.
- Revel displays live charging speed and state of charge, while Connected Kerb users report UI navigation issues.

Key takeaways for Connected Kerb
Where is it heading?
The UK EV charging market is shifting toward high-uptime requirements, and Connected Kerb's current maintenance-mode cadence leaves it exposed to rivals with faster hardware repair cycles. Unless the network improves physical charger availability, the current positive sentiment will likely compress as the user base scales.
- Hardware reliability complaints (chargers out of service for months) erode user trust, which compounds the churn risk for daily commuters.
- Smart charging cost savings remain the primary driver for satisfaction, securing a loyal base of price-sensitive drivers.
The SWOT
- Smart charging logic reduces energy costs for daily commuters
- Improved physical signage would reduce session initiation friction
Next best moves
Audit physical charger signage because missing identifiers are a top complaint → reduce session initiation friction

The maintenance-mode release cadence is a strategic choice…
Read the full takeSince the last report: Connected Kerb has transitioned from a growth-oriented feature roadmap to a defensive maintenance posture, prioritizing physical infrastructure reliability and session-control UX over new feature development.
Bottom line
Connected Kerb's smart-charging cost savings retain core users, but hardware reliability failures threaten the network's long-term viability. Addressing physical signage and session-control UX would unlock higher session completion rates, stabilizing the user base against more reliable competitors.
