How to Charge an Electric Car Without a Driveway
Anchor EV · Buying Advice
Charging your electric car
without a driveway.
You don't need a private driveway to charge your electric vehicle at home. Across the UK, councils are backing innovative on-street solutions that let you plug in right outside your front door.
The Solution
No driveway? No problem.
Smart in-pavement cable channels make home charging possible for people with on-street parking. These channels sit flush with the pavement and allow you to lay your EV cable safely across the walkway without creating a trip hazard.
The Savings
Home charging is more affordable.
Charging your EV at home can lead to major savings compared to public charging or running a petrol vehicle. Home electricity also benefits from a lower 5% VAT rate, compared to 20% on public chargers.

"This trial aims to make it easier and less expensive for residents who don't have off-street parking to charge electric vehicles."
