The modular kerb 10, particularly for charging electric vehicles, comprises a base unit 12 adapted to receive an electricity supply and connect the supply to an interchangeable head 14 which is operable to connect to an electric vehicle or other electrical load. The interchangeable head is preferably received inside or proximate the base unit, preferably within a slot or opening 28 formed in a generally uppermost and/or sloping wall of the base unit. The interchangeable head may comprise an induction coil 30, either retained entirely within the head or deployable as a retractable planar roll or sheet, configured to create an electromagnetic field to supply energy to an electric vehicle. The head may comprise a lockable access cover containing a plug-in charging cable. The head may include other articles including sensors, lighting, telecommunications apparatus, batteries and gas filters. Also claimed are a method of manufacture a modular kerb and a method of laying a linear kerb line.
