Fewer London homes have off-street parking than anywhere else in the UK, so whether you can have a home charger often comes down to your property. Houses with a drive in the outer boroughs – Barnet, Bromley, Havering, Hillingdon – are usually straightforward; flats and inner-London terraces with on-street parking usually aren't.
If you do have a drive, garage or allocated space, request quotes from electricians who install home chargers across London and compare what each recommends.
Driveways, garages and blocks of flats
For houses, installers look at your supply, consumer unit and earthing, and how the cable will reach the parking space. Many London homes have older boards in hallway cupboards that may need upgrading before a charger circuit is added.
For flats with allocated parking, the freeholder or management company usually needs to agree, and the cable route from your flat's supply to the car park can be long. Some blocks prefer a shared charging system. If you rent or own a flat, check GOV.UK for any current grant support.

EV chargers in London: common questions
Can I install a charger if I park on the street in London?
Not a private home charger – cables can't normally cross the pavement. Look at public chargers, lamp-post charging and any council schemes in your borough instead.
Does my freeholder need to approve a charger?
If you live in a leasehold flat, almost certainly. Check your lease and ask the freeholder or managing agent before you book an installation.
Are London charger installations more expensive?
Labour and parking costs can push London prices towards the top of typical ranges, and long cable runs in blocks of flats add more. Compare written quotes.
