EV home charging · Buckinghamshire
Can you charge an EV without a driveway in Buckinghamshire?
Buckinghamshire’s current Wendover page says the trial ended in February 2026 after three in-pavement channels were installed. The council is reviewing wider options, but its home-charging guidance does not offer an open household channel application. Milton Keynes has a separate highway authority and guide.

What to do next in Buckinghamshire
The correct order matters: do not buy a channel or arrange pavement work before the authority confirms the route.
- Use the current trial end dateThe resident trial page now gives February 2026 as the end date. Older progress reports referring to monitoring until November 2025 do not establish that applications are still open.
- Check for a new resident offerThe council is reviewing whether to expand channels. Wait for a published application route, eligibility, approved products, costs and individual consent before arranging work.
- Follow the present cable restrictionThe home-charging page does not permit trailing cables across the footway or public highway. The completed Wendover trial does not grant permission elsewhere in Buckinghamshire.
- Keep historic costs separateThree trial channels had no applicant charge. That does not establish the price or subsidy for a future wider service. Ask for a complete current quote if a new route opens.
