Flats and landlords

Shared parking is a permission problem before it is an electrical one.

A bay you do not own outright usually needs the freeholder or managing agent. Residential landlords may be able to apply for a grant. The scheme decides. The commercial landlord grant closed to new applications on 31 March 2026. Check GOV.UK rather than this sentence alone.

Blocks of flats

Slower, shared across the evening

Load management matters more in a block of flats than on a single driveway. Several cars charging at full speed can ask more of the building than the supply can give. The honest design is often slower charging, shared across the evening, not a promise that every bay runs at 7.4 kW together.

Workplace bays

Count the bays, then the cars

Staff charging is the same physics. Count the bays, then count how many cars are likely to charge at once. The helper is a sketch in sample kilowatts. It is not a design, and it does not replace the network operator if the supply needs upgrading.

How many bays?
