flag UK to simplify EV charger installs for homes with on-street parking, removing permission hurdles to boost adoption.

flag The UK Labour government is advancing plans to simplify EV charger installations, aiming to eliminate planning permission for homes with on-street parking by removing red tape around cross-pavement electrical channels. flag A survey found 43% of on-street parkers would avoid EVs if permission were needed, raising concerns that up to 3 million households could be left behind. flag The initiative, part of broader efforts to expand charging access, includes streamlined processes and cost reductions, potentially saving households over £1,000 yearly. flag While progress is being made in England with faster, cheaper installations and growing public charging networks, challenges remain, including inconsistent messaging and tax disparities—such as higher VAT on public charging—that could hinder equitable adoption.
