What to know before installing a charger in Aberdeen
Aberdeen’s granite houses give the city its character, from tenement flats and terraces in the West End and Rosemount to the larger detached homes with driveways in Cults, Bieldside and Bridge of Don. Where you have your own drive or garage, a home charger is usually straightforward.
Granite is hard, dense stone, so drilling through or fixing to it takes more time and the right tools, and an installer will often choose a route through the garage or an existing opening to keep the work neat. Parts of Old Aberdeen and the city centre are conservation areas, so check before fitting a charger to the front of an older property.
The local electricity network is run by SSEN, which your installer notifies about the new chargepoint. If you rent or own a flat with private off-street parking, the UK government grant may cover 75% of the cost, up to £500.

EV charger grants in Aberdeen
In Scotland, renters and flat owners with private off-street parking can use the UK government grant of 75% of the cost, up to £500. Scotland’s own home charger grant (up to £400, run by the Energy Saving Trust) is currently aimed at rural and island households on lower incomes, so most city homes will not qualify for it.
EV charger questions in Aberdeen
Do I need planning permission for a home charger in Aberdeen?
Usually not. Most wall-mounted home chargers are permitted development. Listed buildings and some conservation areas, such as parts of Old Aberdeen, are the exception, so your installer may suggest checking with Aberdeen City Council first.
Does the cold weather affect a home charger?
A properly installed outdoor-rated charger is built to cope with Scottish winters. Cold weather can slightly reduce an electric car’s range, but it does not stop a home charger from working.
How much does a home EV charger installation cost?
It depends on the charger you choose, how far the cable needs to run from your consumer unit to your parking space, and whether your electrics need any upgrades. That is why it pays to compare quotes: our vetted installers will give you a fixed price after looking at your property.
How long does installation take?
A standard home installation is usually completed in half a day to a day. Your installer will tell you if your property needs extra work, such as a consumer unit upgrade.
