EV home charging · West Sussex

Can you charge an EV without a driveway in West Sussex?

West Sussex publishes a countywide public charging partnership with Connected Kerb and an email route for requesting public on-street chargepoints. The council page reviewed does not establish a private household pavement-channel application. Registering demand for a public charger must not be treated as permission to run a cable from your home.

Your practical route

What to do next in West Sussex

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

Request public provision through the correct routeUse the council page’s “Register your interest in a chargepoint” section. It asks where public chargepoints are needed; email evchargingpoints@westsussex.gov.uk about locations or local provision.
Confirm the type of charging being discussedThe Connected Kerb partnership covers public charging on streets, in council car parks and at community facilities. It does not by itself offer a domestic-supply pavement channel.
Ask separately about a private household routeBefore ordering a channel, ask the highway authority for its current policy, approval process, approved equipment and individual consent. We found no verified private-channel application on the reviewed page.
Check availability and tariffsA request does not guarantee a public charger will be installed at your chosen location. Check the operator’s current map, availability, tariffs and parking conditions before relying on a nearby charger.

Site and policy checks

What could prevent the project?

Likely barriers

No verified household channel application or private installation fee schedule
Public location requests do not grant highway consent
A proposed public location is not a confirmed installation or reserved parking bay

Does West Sussex’s chargepoint interest email apply for a home cable channel?

The council describes that email as a route to request public on-street chargepoints and ask about local charging provision. It does not publish a private household channel application on the reviewed page. Ask separately for a current highway-policy answer before arranging home-to-street works.
