Charging an EV in Westminster without a driveway

Very few Westminster homes have off-street parking, but the borough has invested heavily in public charging. In 2024, analysis by Field Dynamics and Zapmap found 99% of households without off-street parking were within a five-minute walk of a public charger – among the highest coverage in Great Britain.

What that means for you

  • Lamppost and kerbside chargers are common, making overnight on-street charging realistic
  • Rapid hubs are useful for top-ups, but cost more per kWh

Coverage figures date from 2024 and may have changed.
