EV home charging · East Riding of Yorkshire

Can you charge an EV without a driveway in East Riding of Yorkshire?

East Riding invites residents to join a gully-charging interest list, but it has not yet decided on a household scheme. Email the council to record your property and ask about next steps. Its public charging funding is separate, and Hull’s highway policy does not apply across this boundary.

Current scheme status

Enquiry or expression-of-interest route

Gully-interest list open; no scheme decision or installation approval

Where the scheme applies

East Riding of Yorkshire highway authority area; Hull is a separate authority

Published cost position

No confirmed household gully fee or award; public network funding does not cover gullies

Funding position

A council enquiry, interest list or programme announcement does not secure a grant. The current national household grant supports eligible chargepoint purchase/installation costs at 75% up to £500, not an automatic award for pavement works. Obtain highway consent and required third-party permissions, then OZEV eligibility confirmation before charger installation. Temporary covers and mats are excluded.

Your practical route

What to do next in East Riding of Yorkshire

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

Join the property-interest listEmail electric.vehicles@eastriding.gov.uk to ask for your name and property to be added to the gully-charging list. Request the current scheme decision, eligibility and assessment process; inclusion does not approve an installation.
Keep public funding separateThe page says its £100,000 investment and LEVI funding are for public chargepoints and exclude gullies or cross-pavement solutions. Do not treat either programme as an individual channel subsidy.
Use the right charging requestThe public chargepoint-location consultation suggests shared infrastructure. The gully list concerns potential home-to-street charging. Neither reserves a parking space or guarantees a funded installation.
Check current public availabilityUse the council’s charging information and operator status while waiting for a household route. Check parking terms and outages before travelling; a listed charger is not necessarily operational.

Site and policy checks

What could prevent the project?

Likely barriers

No household scheme decision or accepted installation application
Public charging funding expressly excludes gullies
Interest-list inclusion does not reserve a bay or give highway consent

Does joining East Riding’s gully list mean my installation is approved?

No. The council says it is still investigating options and no scheme decisions have been made. The list records interest in properties that might be considered. Ask for current eligibility, fees and written highway approval if a household scheme is subsequently launched.

Confirm the current council position

The resident page invites requests to join a property list for gully charging but explicitly says no scheme decisions have been made. Its £100,000 and LEVI funding relate to public chargepoints only, excluding gullies and cross-pavement solutions. Interest is not an accepted application or permission for works.
