EV Charger Installation in Richmond upon Thames for Homes and Workplaces
EV Install Pro provides OZEV-approved EV charger installation across Richmond upon Thames, covering home chargers, workplace chargers and commercial installations. Every quote follows a proper site survey, carried out and signed off by an NICEIC-certified engineer, so the price you’re given doesn’t change once work starts.
Richmond upon Thames has more conservation areas and listed buildings than most London boroughs, and the council is known for being stricter than average when it comes to changes to the outside of a property. That doesn’t rule out a charger, it just means the survey has to check more than the usual things before we quote.

Home EV Charger Installation in Richmond upon Thames
A home installation here starts the same way everywhere else, checking your consumer unit, confirming spare capacity, and fitting a charger wired to your existing supply. What’s different in Richmond upon Thames is what happens before any of that: we also need to check whether your property is listed, or sits within an Article 4 direction that removes some of the usual permitted development rights, common across parts of Richmond, Twickenham and Barnes.
Most homes with off-street parking can have a charger fitted with no planning application at all. Where your property is an exception, we’ll tell you during the survey, not after we’ve quoted, and we’ll look at whether a garage, side return or rear access point avoids the issue entirely if the front elevation is the sensitive part.
Once that’s settled, the charger itself is a separate decision. We fit and support the EVEC Home Charger, Ohme Home Pro and Volec, along with other major brands, chosen around your car and your property rather than pushed on you.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need planning permission for a home EV charger installation on a listed building?
Usually, yes. Listed status removes the permitted development rights that apply to most other homes, so even a small wall-mounted charger generally needs consent first. We flag this during the survey rather than assuming it applies.
What about a property in a conservation area that isn't listed?
Conservation area status on its own doesn't always require permission, but some areas in the borough sit under an Article 4 direction that changes this. We check your specific property rather than going by the area's reputation.
Can the charger go somewhere other than the front of the house?
Often, yes. A garage, side return or rear access point can avoid the issue altogether if the front elevation is the sensitive part. We assess this as part of the survey.
How long does a period property installation usually take?
Longer than a straightforward modern house if a non-standard cable route or a consumer unit upgrade is needed, but we'll tell you that at quote stage, not on the day.
Am I eligible for the £500 OZEV grant?
Eligibility depends on your property and parking arrangement, not your postcode. We confirm this as part of your quote.
Is there a separate grant for workplace or commercial EV charger installation?
Yes. The Workplace Charging Scheme is a different government grant to the home OZEV grant, worth up to £500 per socket across up to 40 sockets.
Do you install chargers for small office car parks, not just houses?
Yes, including offices in Richmond and Twickenham town centres. We scope these individually based on staff numbers and existing supply.
Can you repair a charger that another company fitted?
Yes, regardless of who originally installed it.
Does Richmond upon Thames refuse a lot of these applications?
The borough is on record as one of the stricter councils nationally for householder planning applications. That's exactly why we check your property's status properly during the survey rather than assuming a charger can go wherever's convenient.
What if my property needs planning permission before a charger can be fitted?
We'll tell you this before quoting, not after. In many cases, repositioning the charger to a garage, side return or rear access point avoids the need for permission entirely.
Not Sure What's Possible on Your Property?
Given how much planning status can vary street to street here, it's worth having a proper survey before assuming what's possible. Tell us about your car and property and we'll take it from there.
