Living in a terraced house often means you don’t have a private driveway to charge an electric vehicle. And for many people, that feels like the most significant barrier to going electric. In reality, EV charging for terraced houses is becoming far more accessible, with practical solutions now available on streets across the UK. Whether your home is part of an older terrace with on-street parking or a newer development with mixed layouts, reliable charging is possible.

Why On-Street Charging Matters

Thousands of drivers are switching to electric every month, but a significant share of UK homes don’t have off-street parking. That’s why on-street EV charging options have grown rapidly, giving households without driveways more flexibility and control. If you’re considering an EV and wondering how you’ll charge it safely and conveniently, you now have several solutions to choose from.

What Charging Options Do You Have?

Cable Channels Such as Kerbo Charge

‍If you’re able to run a cable from your home to your parking space, cable channels offer a tidy, low-profile way to do it. Kerbo Charge is one example used by councils, including Bolton Council, to keep pavements accessible while allowing residents to charge from their own electricity supply. Many homeowners find this to be the most cost-effective long-term option.

Lamp-Post Chargers

‍Lamp-post chargers are becoming more common and offer convenient, low-impact charging on residential streets. They’re ideal if you want a simple, accessible option without any changes to your property, though availability depends on your local council.

Kerbside Charging Hubs

‍In areas with higher EV uptake, councils and charging operators are rolling out kerbside chargers or dedicated charging bays. These work much like public chargers but are located where people live, making everyday top-ups far easier.
