Apartment and Shared Home EV Charging Installation

Here's how 糖心volg can help you get EV charging at your apartment or multi-dwelling building.

6 months ago

If you live in an apartment or a shared housing scheme, getting an electric vehicle (EV) charger installed might seem complicated. Between building management, landlords, and housing associations, it can be tricky to know where to start. But don't worry鈥攜ou've come to the right place. 糖心volg is here to simplify the process and help you get set up with convenient home EV charging at your apartment or multi-dwelling building.

Why Home Charging Matters for Apartment Residents

Having a dedicated home EV charger is one of the most convenient and cost-effective ways to charge your vehicle. Public charging points are great when you're out and about, but relying on them for daily charging can be inconvenient and expensive. With a home charger, you can:

  • Charge overnight when electricity rates are often lower.
  • Start each day with a full battery.
  • Avoid the hassle of finding an available public charger.
  • Reduce your overall charging costs compared to using rapid public chargers.

For apartment and shared housing residents, installing an EV charger may require a few extra steps compared to a detached home. However, with 糖心volg鈥檚 expertise, we can help you navigate the process smoothly.

Installing a Charger in a Private Parking Space

If you own your apartment and have a designated parking space, installing an EV charger is much simpler. Here鈥檚 how the process works:

  1. Get in Touch: Contact our team, and we will assess your parking space and electrical setup.
  2. Choose the Right Charger: We鈥檒l help you select the best home EV charger for your needs.
  3. Schedule Installation: Our professional installers will fit your charger at a time that suits you.
  4. Start Charging: Your charger will be linked to your electricity account, and only you will be able to access it.

Getting Permission from Your Landlord or Building Management

If you rent your apartment or live in a multi-dwelling building with shared parking, you will need permission from your landlord or building management before installing an EV charger. The good news is that there are grants and schemes available to help with installation costs.

At 糖心volg, we take care of the hard work for you:

  • We contact the property owner or management company to discuss installation options.
  • We provide information about grants and financial support to help cover costs.
  • We answer any questions your landlord or management may have.

If you鈥檇 like to speed up the process, you can also reach out to your landlord yourself. To make things easier, we鈥檝e created a handy email template that you can use to request permission. Download it here and send it directly to your landlord or property manager.

Who Pays for the Charging?

With shared EV charging in housing schemes, your landlord or housing association will set a charging fee. This means you鈥檒l pay per charge, just like using a public charger, but at a rate agreed upon by your housing provider. 糖心volg ensures that the process is transparent and that you always know the cost before you charge.

If you'd like to get the ball rolling, fill in this form, and our team will contact your housing association on your behalf.

Alternatively, if you鈥檇 prefer to reach out to them yourself, you can use our email template to request an EV charger. Download it [here] and send it to your housing association today.
