I don't have access to off-street parking, can I get a public chargepoint installed on my street?

Technically, yes, although there are conditions which need to be met prior to installing any on-street chargepoint. We recognise the difficulties for people living in properties without off street parking. To help with this we are working to increase the numbers of chargers across other locations.

Issues with on-street chargepoints include:

1. Lack of available space – for the charger, other pavement users and car parking spaces.
2. Suitable local power – upgrades to the power network to facilitate a chargepoint may be costly.
3. Demand – enough to justify the cost of installation and operation.
4. Proximity to other chargepoints.
5. Cost.
