Installing Home Chargers for On-Street Parking: Your Guide to Grants and Installation
Updated: 6 days ago
If you own or rent a property with on-street parking, don’t let that stop you from having a home charger! With the right system in place, you can easily charge your electric vehicle right from your home.

The Innovative Charging Solution
A neat system has been developed that uses a channel across the pavement to run your charging lead into. This solution is not only practical but also approved by Cornwall County Council. Their dedicated contractors, Cormac, handle the installation work.
Financial Support for Your Installation
The really great news is that there’s a £1,200 grant available! This grant typically covers the entire cost of the channel installation. All you need to pay is a £184 licence fee for permission to have the channel installed.
Even better, once the channel is installed, OZEV offers an additional £500 towards the cost of the charger and installation. This means you can get your home charging setup at a fraction of the cost!
Choosing the Right Installer
To take advantage of these grants, you need to use an OZEV-authorised installer. That's where we come in! At EV Electrical, we’re here to help you every step of the way. We’ll conduct a survey and advise you on the costs involved. We’ll also determine your eligibility for the channel and the grants. While Cornwall County Council has the final say, they rarely overturn the recommendations made by OZEV installers.

Why Choose Electric?
Switching to electric vehicles is not just a trend; it’s a crucial step towards a sustainable future. By installing a home charger, you’re contributing to the reduction of carbon emissions and promoting cleaner air. Plus, having a charger at home means you can charge your vehicle overnight, ensuring you start each day with a full battery!
