    EV charging in a dwelling

    Hi A client wants a EV type 2 charger but she lives in a end of terrace. There is a pathway in front of her house and a front garden but no driveway yet. Can she have one installed? No Olev grant but I thought you couldn’t if they didn’t have a car driveway to stop a possible trailing lead. thanks
