Your practical route

What to do next in Wandsworth

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

  1. Register initial interestEmail electricvehicles@wandsworth.gov.uk with CABLE CHANNEL in the subject so the council can notify you when the application route is live.
  2. Wait for the application formDo not treat the February announcement or an interest email as permission to install or as confirmation that the property is suitable.
  3. Budget for all three chargesThe announced amounts are £100 non-refundable application, £250 subsidised installation and £150 for a renewable three-year licence.
  4. Arrange the home chargepoint separatelyThe council will own and maintain the channel; the resident is responsible for the dedicated domestic chargepoint.

Site and policy checks

What could prevent the project?

Likely barriers

  • The full online application route is not yet verified as live
  • Insufficient footway width or an unsafe location
  • No dependable legal kerbside parking next to the proposed channel
  • A channel does not reserve the space outside the home

Are Wandsworth applications fully open?

Not on the current public route we verified. The council announcement publishes the intended scheme and prices, but residents are still directed to register initial interest and wait for the online application process.
