What to know before installing a charger in Leicester
Much of inner Leicester is made up of Victorian terraced streets, in areas like Clarendon Park, Highfields and Belgrave, where most people park on the road. Homes in Knighton, Oadby, Wigston, Birstall and Glenfield are more likely to have a driveway, which makes a home charger simple to fit.
Stoneygate and several other older suburbs are conservation areas, so larger period homes there may need a check before a charger is fixed to the front. Your installer can suggest a side or garage position instead.
The local network is run by National Grid Electricity Distribution, which your installer notifies about the new chargepoint. Flat owners and renters with private parking may qualify for the UK government grant of up to £500.

EV charger grants in Leicester
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 Leicester
Do I need planning permission for a home charger in Leicester?
Usually not. Most wall-mounted home chargers are permitted development. Listed buildings and some conservation areas, such as Stoneygate, are the exception, so your installer may suggest checking with your council first.
I park on the street outside my terrace. What are my options?
You cannot trail a cable across the pavement. An approved cross-pavement channel may be possible where the council allows it, and a separate grant may help with the cost. Your installer can advise.
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.
