EV home charging · Bexley

Can you charge an EV without a driveway in Bexley?

Bexley is preparing a council-approved cross-pavement charging route and says household application details will follow once contractual arrangements are finalised. Its page names Kerbo Charge and Trojan providers, but those links do not by themselves establish an open home-channel application or highway permission.

Your practical route

What to do next in Bexley

The correct order matters: do not buy a channel or arrange pavement work before the authority confirms the route.

Check the cross-pavement sectionUse the council’s electric-vehicle page for its current household position. It says operators are being appointed and application processes and eligibility will follow final contractual arrangements.
Wait for the formal council routeOnly approved solutions installed under an agreement with the council will be permitted. A supplier enquiry or product order is not permission to install in the public highway.
Distinguish public hubs from home chargingBexley’s residential Trojan hubs and lamp-column charging provide shared public infrastructure. Their rollout does not automatically approve a cable supplied from your own home.
Check published terms before spendingWait for the final application, site criteria, installation charges, maintenance and grant conditions. The council does not support ad-hoc cables across pavements without an approved engineered solution.

Site and policy checks

What could prevent the project?

Likely barriers

Provider links coexist with application details still pending
An engineered product alone is not council authorisation
Public residential hubs and household-supplied channels have different approval routes

Does Bexley’s link to Kerbo Charge mean I can install a home channel now?

No. The same council page says household application processes and eligibility will be published once contracts are finalised. Only an approved solution under a formal council agreement may use the highway. Confirm that route rather than treating a provider link as approval.
