Ealing Council is committed to tackling climate change and improving local air quality and is supporting the take up of electric vehicles (EVs).
The council is committed to supporting the delivery of 2000 charging points by 2026.
We are working to expand the boroughwide network, so that all residents have an electric vehicle charging point (EVCP) within a 10 minute walk.
Benefits of electric vehicles
- lower running costs
- exempt from the Congestion Charge and Ultra Low Emission Zone schemes
- pay no road tax
- parking permit discounts in Ealing
- reduced company car tax
There are public charging points across the UK.
They are 'pay as you go', so you just pay for what you use.

On-street EV charging points in your neighbourhood
There is a very high demand for more EVCPs to be installed in the borough.
You can suggest a location where you think an EVCP is needed. It is not possible to install them in every suggested location, due to physical and electrical safety reasons.
Installing your own EVCP
You are not allowed to run a cable across the public pavement, due to health and safety risks.
See details on how to apply for a dropped kerb to change the front of your property into a driveway, so you can easily charge at home.
EV charge point grants
The government offers grants to residents and businesses to install charge points on their own property (including driveways and garages).
