What to know before installing a charger in Derry / Londonderry
Derry / Londonderry spreads across both sides of the River Foyle, with terraces close to the walled city and Bogside, and many semi-detached and detached homes with driveways in the Waterside, Culmore, Newbuildings and Eglinton. Homes with their own driveway or garage are the simplest for a wall-mounted charger.
The walled city and parts of the centre are protected, so if you live in an older or listed property your installer will check before fixing a charger to the front. Rural homes around Eglinton, Strabane and Limavady often have longer drives, so the cable route from the consumer unit is one of the first things an installer will look at.
In Northern Ireland the electricity network is run by NIE Networks, and every new home chargepoint must be notified to them. An experienced installer handles this for you, so make sure it is included in your quote. The UK government grant of up to £500 applies to renters and flat owners with private parking.

Northern Ireland homes can use the UK government EV chargepoint grant: 75% of the cost, up to £500, for renters and flat owners with private off-street parking.

EV charger questions in Derry / Londonderry
Does my installer need to tell NIE Networks about my charger?
Yes. All home chargepoints in Northern Ireland are notified to NIE Networks. A reputable installer will do this for you, and should confirm it in writing.
Do I need planning permission for a home charger in Derry / Londonderry?
Usually not. Most wall-mounted home chargers are permitted development. Listed buildings and some conservation areas, such as the walled city, are the exception, so your installer may suggest checking with Derry City and Strabane District Council first.
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.
