What to know before installing a charger in Perth
Perth is a compact city on the Tay, with Georgian terraces and Victorian villas around the centre, Kinnoull and Rose Terrace, where parking is often on the street, and 1930s and later estates in Craigie, Letham and Scone with drives and garages. A home charger is simplest where there is a driveway.
Perth city centre, Kinnoull, Scone and nearby villages have conservation areas and many listed buildings, so check before fixing a charger to the front of a period home. In a tenement or shared stair, you will need the agreement of the other owners.
The local electricity network is run by SSEN (Scottish Hydro Electric Power Distribution), 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 Perth
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 Perth
Do I need planning permission for a home charger in Perth?
Usually not. Most wall-mounted home chargers are permitted development. Listed buildings and some conservation areas, such as the city centre and Kinnoull, are the exception, so your installer may suggest checking with Perth & Kinross 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.
