What to know before installing a charger in Basingstoke
Basingstoke grew rapidly from the 1960s as an expanded town, so much of it is large post-war and later estates in Popley, South Ham, Chineham and Hatch Warren, most with a drive, garage or garage court. That makes a home charger straightforward for most households, though some homes rely on a garage block.
Old Basing, Oakley and parts of the old town centre have conservation areas, so check before fixing a charger to the front of an older home. If your garage is in a separate block, ask who owns it before planning a charger there.
Renters and flat owners with private off-street parking may qualify for the UK government chargepoint grant of up to £500. The local network is run by SSEN (Southern Electric Power Distribution), which your installer notifies about the new chargepoint.

EV charger grants in Basingstoke
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 Basingstoke
Do I need planning permission for a home charger in Basingstoke?
Usually not. Most wall-mounted home chargers are permitted development. Listed buildings and some conservation areas, such as Old Basing and Oakley, are the exception, so your installer may suggest checking with Basingstoke and Deane Borough Council first.
I live in a flat with allocated parking. Can I get a charger?
Often, yes, with the agreement of your building’s management company or freeholder. As a flat owner or renter with private off-street parking, you may also be able to claim the UK government grant of up to £500.
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.
