What to know before installing a charger in Swindon
Much of Swindon was built in the second half of the 20th century, with large estates in Stratton, Haydon Wick, Park North and Covingham where most homes have a driveway or garage, which makes a wall-mounted home charger easy to fit. The railway-built terraces in the Railway Village and parts of Old Town are more likely to rely on street parking.
The Railway Village and parts of Old Town are conservation areas, so if you live in an older property your installer will check before fixing a charger to the front. Newer developments such as Wichelstowe may have management companies or covenants worth checking before work starts.
The local electricity network is run by SSEN, which your installer notifies about the new chargepoint. Renters and flat owners with private off-street parking may qualify for the UK government grant of up to £500.

EV charger grants in Swindon
In England, the UK government’s EV chargepoint grant pays 75% of the cost of buying and installing a chargepoint, up to £500, if you rent and live in a property or own and live in a flat, and you have private off-street parking. A separate grant can help households with only on-street parking that install a cross-pavement charging solution. Homeowners in houses with their own driveway are not currently eligible for a grant.
EV charger questions in Swindon
Do I need planning permission for a home charger in Swindon?
Usually not. Most wall-mounted home chargers are permitted development. Listed buildings and some conservation areas, such as the Railway Village, are the exception, so your installer may suggest checking with Swindon Borough Council first.
I live on a new-build estate. Is a charger straightforward?
Often, yes. Many newer homes have a driveway and a modern consumer unit. Some new builds already include a charger, and estates with a management company may need its agreement for external fittings.
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.
