Edinburgh's tenements and New Town flats rarely have private parking, so home charging is mostly found in the bungalows and villas of Corstorphine, Barnton, Cramond, Colinton, Liberton and the towns of the Lothians.
If you have a drive or garage, compare quotes from electricians who install home chargers across Edinburgh.
Bungalows, villas and conservation areas
Bungalows usually make for simple installations: the consumer unit is often in the hall, and cables can run through the loft. Larger villas may have detached garages that need a buried supply.
Much of Edinburgh is in conservation areas, and listed buildings need extra care. Check with the council if your home is listed or the charger will be visible from the street.

EV chargers in Edinburgh: common questions
Do I need planning permission for a charger in a conservation area?
It depends on the location and visibility. Check with the City of Edinburgh Council before installing, especially for listed buildings.
Can a charger go inside my garage?
Yes, if there's space and a suitable supply route. It keeps the charger out of the weather.
Do Edinburgh installers cover the Lothians?
Many do. Your postcode decides who receives your request.
