Home EV Charger Installation in Southwark
Southwark stretches from the riverside of Bermondsey and Rotherhithe down through Walworth, Camberwell and Peckham to the leafy villas of Dulwich. Much of the north is flats, but there are plenty of houses too: Georgian terraces in Walworth and Camberwell, Victorian terraces in Peckham and Nunhead, and larger family homes around Dulwich Village and East Dulwich. If your house has a front garden, forecourt or garage where the car can park, a home charger is within reach.
EV Install Pro fits Volec, Ohme and EVEC chargers for Southwark homeowners from £899, installation included. We survey the wiring and parking, check your planning position and confirm one fixed price in writing. We cover SE1, SE5, SE15, SE16, SE17, SE21 and SE22. Southwark lists 53 conservation areas, so we check your address first.

Southwark homes are as mixed as London gets. Here are the main types we meet and how each is handled.
Georgian and Victorian terraces in Walworth, Camberwell and Peckham
Where the front garden is paved and the kerb is dropped, a compact wall charger by the door is typical. Our terraced house page has more.
Villas and family houses in Dulwich and East Dulwich
Larger plots, gates and garages. Longer runs and conservation area checks are shown separately in your quote.
Streets with kerbside parking only
If the car lives on the road, a home charger is not an option. Our guide to charging without a driveway covers the choices.

Wall, Post or Garage: Where Your Charger Can Go
The Volec Pulse is our top pick, and all three chargers can sit on a wall, a post or inside a garage. The table compares them. For a house, 7kW is the sensible size, since 22kW needs three phase power that most homes lack.

Mounting Options for a Southwark Frontage
The right mounting depends on what you have outside the house.
On the house wall
The usual choice. It keeps the charger off the ground, near the door or meter, with a short cable run.
On a post in the front garden
Useful where the car parks away from the house wall. A post is a separate fitting, so it adds cost and needs a cable run underground.
Inside a garage
Sheltered and discreet, a good fit for Dulwich style homes with a garage. The run to the consumer unit is usually short.
On a side wall
Handy on a Georgian terrace where the front is tight. It keeps the charger out of sight from the street.
See the Volec Pulse, Ohme Home Pro and EVEC Home Charger, or read about tethered and untethered chargers.
Get a quoteSmart Charging for Plug-in Hybrids and Full Electric Cars
Your car type changes what smart charging does for you.
Full electric car. A large battery means long charging sessions, so a night schedule on a cheap tariff saves the most.
Plug-in hybrid. A smaller battery fills fast, so timing matters less, but a schedule still keeps the charge off peak.
Two cars in the house. Set a departure time for each, and the app shares the supply.
For running costs, see charging at home costs, and for the technology, our smart charger guide.
Southwark Charger Rules: Pavements, Lamp Columns and Planning
Cables across the pavement
The council says not to run a cable from your house to your vehicle across the pavement, and calls it extremely dangerous.
Lamp column chargers
The council runs a request form and prioritises by EV ownership, application date and site suitability. It says installation can take 16 to 24 weeks and does not guarantee a bay.
Your own parking space
The council says that if you have a designated space outside your property, you can install a charge point without its permission. Conservation areas can add planning controls, so we check your address.
Wiring and certificate
We test your consumer unit and earthing, notify your network operator and issue your certificate.

Southwark Home Charger Questions
We have a Georgian terrace in Walworth. Can we fit a charger?
If the car can park on your own frontage, often yes. Trafalgar Avenue and Walworth Road are among the conservation areas on the council’s list, so we check your address first and pick a discreet wall. See our terraced house guide.
How many conservation areas does Southwark have?
The council’s list shows 53, including Dulwich Village, Camberwell Grove, Bermondsey Street, Rye Lane Peckham and Tower Bridge. Many streets are outside them, and we check each address.
Can I run a cable across the pavement to my car?
No. The council says not to run a cable across the pavement and calls it extremely dangerous. We would never design an install around one.
How long does a council lamp column charger take?
The council says installation can take 16 to 24 weeks, and it does not guarantee a bay. Requests are prioritised by EV ownership, application date and site suitability. If your home has private parking, our home charger page shows a quicker route.
I have a front garden in Peckham with no driveway. What can I do?
The council points residents to dropped kerb and driveway applications through its highways team. A kerb must be in place before the car can legally park there. See our no driveway guide.
Which charger is best for a large Dulwich house?
For most houses the Volec Pulse is our pick. If you want the charger to follow your tariff automatically, the Ohme Home Pro is the other choice. A longer cable run is shown on its own line in the quote.
Does a charger need planning permission in Southwark?
The council says you can install a charge point without its permission if you have a designated space outside your property, though conservation areas can add controls. Our rules and permits guide explains more.
We live in a converted warehouse in Bermondsey. Can you help?
If you own a house or unit with its own parking space, yes. We install for houses and workplaces, and we will tell you at the start if your setup is outside that.
We run a business in Camberwell or Bermondsey. Do you fit workplace chargers?
Yes. We fit chargers for staff, visitors and vans. See our workplace charging page.
What does it cost?
Fitted prices start at £899 for the Volec Pulse, with the EVEC Home Charger at £995 and the Ohme Home Pro at £999, each confirmed after the survey.
