If you do not have off-street parking
We’re planning a cross-pavement EV charging point trial for people who do not have off-street parking but can park outside their homes.
The trial will test an innovative cross-pavement channel solution called Kerbo charge. It allows charging cables to cross the pavement below the surface.
This means you can safely connect a vehicle to your home electricity supply and benefit from lower domestic electricity rates.
We held a survey in December 2025 asking residents to register their interest in the trial. Spaces on the trial are now full, but If you missed the survey and want to register your interest, email us at ev@royalgreenwich.gov.uk.
If you register your interest, we’ll only use your details to contact you about the trial or potential expansion of the scheme. We’ll delete your details if the trial is unsuccessful.
Safe charging
You must charge your electric vehicle using a charging point.
Running a cable across the street is not allowed even if you cover or protect it. This is because it's a safety risk to the public. The only exception is if you're approved for the cross-pavement trial described above.
Broken charge points
There are many different operators providing charging points in Royal Greenwich.
If you find a charging point that's not working, report it to the operator.
Installing new public charging points
We’re increasing the number of public EV charging points across the borough in 2026 and 2027.
This investment will:
- expand local access to charging facilities for people who have electric vehicles
- encourage local residents and businesses to switch to electric vehicles
- support the transition to cleaner, greener transport
We’ve contracted 2 charging point operators to install up to 800 new on-street charging points across the borough.
JOLT will install fast chargers and Ubitricity will provide lamp post charging in residential areas. We’ll also be installing dedicated electric vehicle charging bays.
We also have approval from the Government’s Office for Zero Emission Vehicles (OZEV) to install at least 1,150 extra on-street bollard charging points.
How we decide where new charging points are located
We decide on the location of new charging points based on:
- creating the broadest network across the borough
- meeting funding requirements
We cannot provide new charging points on request.
Our commitment
In 2022, we outlined our commitment to electric vehicles in the Electric Vehicle Policy Framework Action Plan.
The charging point network expansion also contributes to our Carbon Neutral Plan.
