Installing chargers
You may be able to install a home charger even if you do not have off-street parking, if you:
- can safely charge when parked on the street
- and have planning permission.
You must contact your local planning authority before installing a home charging point. And you must meet the planning requirements before installation.
If you want to install a charger at a private or shared car park, you should speak to the owner of the site.
Grants
You might be able to get a grant towards the cost of installing a charger at your home. Find out more about:
- EV charge point grants for households with on-street parking
- EV charge point grants for renters and flat owners
If you're a business, charity or public sector organisation you may be eligible for a grant. It would contribute to the up-front costs of a charge point. Find out more about the workplace charging scheme.
