EV Chargers in London: Home & Commercial Options | LAMPS

Last updated: 22 April 2026

If you are looking for EV chargers in London, the right option usually depends on four things: where the car is parked, whether the bay is private or shared, whether you want a tethered or untethered charger, and whether the project is domestic or commercial. LAMPS supplies home and commercial EV charging products for London properties and can help you start the installation process online.

 

 

What usually works best for London properties?

Before choosing a charger, start with the parking arrangement rather than the brand. That usually makes the shortlist much clearer.

Based in Shepherds Bush, supporting London projects

With a LAMPS branch in Shepherds Bush, London customers have a local point of contact when comparing EV charging options. Whether the job is in Hammersmith, Camden, Islington, Greenwich, Canary Wharf or elsewhere across Greater London, the main questions are usually the same: where the vehicle is parked, how the cable will run, and which charger format makes day-to-day charging easiest.

For homeowners, that often means balancing appearance, cable convenience and tariff features. For installers, landlords and developers, it can also mean thinking about permissions, meter position, shared access and whether the site may need more charging capacity later.

 

 

EV chargers for flats, terraces, driveways and car parks

London properties vary far more than a standard suburban driveway, so it helps to match the charger to the parking setup. Homes with private off-street parking often start by comparing brands such as Easee, Ohme, Hypervolt, Rolec and Andersen Quartz.

If you live in a flat, terrace or shared development, the project may need a bit more planning before the hardware choice becomes obvious. Cable routing, permissions, communal areas and the exact bay location can all affect what is practical. For larger sites, start with our commercial EV chargers page.

 

 

Tethered or untethered: which suits London best?

Tethered chargers have a built-in cable. They can be a good fit if you have a private driveway or dedicated bay and want a simple everyday charging routine. Examples worth looking at include the Ohme Home Pro and products in the Hypervolt range.

Untethered chargers use a socket instead of a fixed lead. They are often chosen where a neater look matters, where the wall is visible from the street, or where more flexibility is useful over time. Popular starting points include the Easee One, Rolec EVO Smart and Andersen Quartz.

What if you only have on-street parking?

On-street charging in London is more complicated because local rules, pavement layout, parking controls and cable safety all matter. The right approach depends on the borough, the exact parking arrangement and whether a safe cable route or dedicated bay is possible.

If you are dealing with on-street parking, it is usually best to get advice before buying hardware. You can contact LAMPS or start the installation survey so the property layout can be reviewed first.

 

 

Smart tariffs and off-peak charging in London

For many London households, the big running-cost question is not just which charger to buy, but how it will fit around off-peak charging. If you want to make more of smart tariffs, look for chargers and settings that support scheduled or app-managed charging, and check current tariff compatibility before ordering.

Our guides on what EV chargers work with Octopus Intelligent Go and the best EV tariffs in the UK are useful next reads.

Brands often considered for tariff-led charging include Ohme, Easee, Hypervolt and myenergi.

EV chargers for developers, landlords and offices

Commercial charging in London can range from a single workplace bay to a multi-user car park for flats, offices or mixed-use developments. At that point, the brief usually goes beyond cable preference and into access control, future expansion, pedestal or wall mounting, and how many users need to charge at once.

For these projects, start with our commercial EV chargers page. If you already know you need twin-output hardware, the Sync Energy twin charger and Easee Charge are good places to begin your research.

 

 

How to choose the right EV charger for a London home

• Start with the bay, not the brand. Measure the parking position, wall location and cable route before narrowing down products.
• Decide whether tethered or untethered suits daily use. Tethered is convenient; untethered is often neater and more flexible.
• Think about tariffs and future plans. If off-peak charging matters, check app features and current compatibility before buying.
• Check permissions early. Flats, leasehold homes and shared car parks may need landlord, managing agent or freeholder approval.
• Review the installation route. A tidy charger choice can still lead to a complicated install if the cable run is awkward.

Installation, delivery and project planning

Before ordering, it is worth checking current availability, lead times and the likely installation route. That matters most on London jobs with restricted access, shared parking or time-sensitive handovers.

For installation pricing, use the EV charger installation survey. If you want product advice first, contact LAMPS.

 

 

Common mistakes London buyers make

• Assuming any cable length will do. Off-centre driveways and awkward bay layouts often need more thought than a standard setup.
• Choosing on looks alone. Appearance matters, but so do the cable route, everyday convenience and who will use the charger.
• Ignoring permissions. Leasehold and shared-space installs can stall if approvals are left too late.
• Not checking tariff compatibility. If off-peak charging is part of the plan, confirm the latest compatibility before buying.
• Buying domestic hardware for a multi-user site. Offices, landlords and developers often need a commercial setup from the outset.
