You won’t need permission to install an EV charger if you live in a house you own and have private parking. If you rent your home or own a flat, you’ll have to seek permission from your landlord or property manager before arranging an installation.

While you have to seek out permission, there’s some good news. Renters and flat owners may be eligible for the OZEV grant, which can lower the cost of getting an EV charger by up to £350. Find out more about the grant scheme and see the full list of eligibility criteria.
