What’s changing

• A consultation will be launched to remove the need for planning permission for “cross-pavement” gully charging solutions, making installs faster and cheaper. GOV.UK+1
• Up to £250 in application fees could be saved by households currently facing planning costs.
• Residents could run their EVs for as little as 2p per mile when charging at home under the reforms.
• The reforms will include protections so that landlords or site operators cannot over-charge tenants for home EV charging via shared infrastructure.

Why this matters for landlords, flats & rental properties

If you manage or own a property where tenants or leaseholders lack off-street parking, these reforms expand your options. With fewer regulatory hurdles, you can:

• Increase the appeal of your property by enabling home EV charging for more residents
• Facilitate commissioned installs with an OZEV-authorised installer (such as Nu Electrics)
• Stay ahead of the growing expectation for EV-ready homes and compliant infrastructure

How Nu Electrics supports you

At Nu Electrics, based in London and serving the South East, we specialise in helping landlords, managing-agents and property developers implement compliant EV charging infrastructure.

What to do next

If you’re responsible for a property or block with residents who lack off-street parking, now is the time to act. The reform agenda means competition for rapid installs is increasing, and early movers will benefit.
