When you live in an apartment block or have shared parking charging can be tricky. We understand that in densely populated areas you might not have the luxury of a private drive way.
We have expertise in areas like this, all it takes is a phone call to one of our friendly sales team to get the right solution for you.
Why Invest in EV Charging if You Live in a Flat?
More and more people are investing in electric vehicles these days. In many ways, EVs are the ideal choice for city dwellers – where many flats are located, of course – because they are cheaper to run and cause less localised air pollution than conventional cars. However, as the uptake in both all-electrics and PHEVs has shot up, the required charging infrastructure to meet demand has not kept pace. This is why installing your own EV chargers at your home can be so beneficial, allowing you to charge up whenever you’re at home without having to wait.
If you thought that you’d need a house with its own driveway to benefit from the current generation of EV charging equipment, however, then it is time to think again. At Hydra Installs, we have a long history of successfully delivered projects where we have fitted EV chargers in apartments and flats. Don’t run an extension cable out of your window but invest in some properly fitted, safer and faster-charging EV charging units with us instead.
Suitable EV Charging Equipment For All Apartment Blocks
So long as your apartment has access to off-street parking, then it will be feasible for us to install an EV charging system. We have dealt with many sorts of buildings including those with underground parking facilities and shared parking bays, for instance. Whether you want one EV charger for your own private use or would prefer several chargers to share among all the inhabitants of your block of flats, we can put forward some viable options.

”As tenants of an historic block of flats in London, we didn't think it would be possible to convert our parking bay into a charging station for our plug-in hybrid but with Hydra Installs' help and a forward-thinking landlord, this is exactly what we were able to achieve.

EV Charging in Apartments That Are Rented or Owner-Occupied
One of the questions that is often put to us when it comes to EV charging in flats is whether or not it is possible to install charger systems in rented accommodation. Simply put, the answer is yes, we can fit EV chargers in apartments that are both rented and owned outright. Of course, in the case of rented flats, there will still need to be off-street parking and the landlord’s permission will need to be sought, as well. That said, there is nothing to stop you if you rent your flat and want your own EV charging facilities.
