EV Charger Installation in Edinburgh, City of Edinburgh
Scotland's capital city has an average house price of £296,878 — reflecting a population with significant disposable income for home improvements. While the historic centre has conservation restrictions, Edinburgh's extensive suburban areas — Corstorphine, Morningside, Cramond, Barnton, and the south-side suburbs — feature large detached and semi-detached homes with excellent roof space for solar installations. The city's professional workforce has high EV adoption rates, and the combination of rising energy costs and environmental awareness is driving strong demand for residential solar and battery systems. Edinburgh also offers significant commercial installation opportunities.
Why EV Charger Installation Makes Sense in Edinburgh
Edinburgh has one of the highest EV adoption rates in Scotland, driven by its professional workforce and growing awareness of urban air quality. But the city's public charging infrastructure is under pressure — home charging is significantly cheaper and more convenient. Edinburgh's suburban homes in Corstorphine, Barnton, Cramond, and the south-side typically have driveways or garages that make installation straightforward. For city-centre properties with on-street parking, workplace charging may be the better option. We install all major brands and can pair chargers with solar panels to charge with free electricity during the day.
Property Profile: Edinburgh
Affluent suburbs with large detached homes. Conservation restrictions in city centre but extensive suitable stock in suburban areas. High EV adoption.
Local Planning: City of Edinburgh Council
Edinburgh has the most complex planning landscape in our service area — around 50 conservation areas, one of the UK's highest concentrations of listed buildings, and the Old and New Towns World Heritage Site. The good news: since May 2024, Scottish permitted development rights allow solar panels in conservation areas without planning permission, as long as they're not on a principal elevation or a side elevation facing a road. That covers many rear-facing roofs in Morningside, Stockbridge, and parts of Corstorphine that previously needed applications. Listed buildings still require listed building consent, and the World Heritage Site has additional protection — in-roof systems that sit flush with the roofline are often the accepted approach there. We assess every Edinburgh property individually and can liaise with City of Edinburgh Council on your behalf.

Choosing The Right
Charger For You
Selecting the right charger involves more than just picking a brand; it's about safely matching the technology to your car, your home, and your lifestyle.
Your Home's Electrical Supply
The first step is always a full assessment of your home's supply. We check your main fuse size and wiring to ensure a safe installation that will never overload your system.
Charging Speed (7kW vs. 22kW)
A 7kW charger is perfect for virtually all homes, providing fast overnight charging. For properties with a three-phase supply, we can install ultra-fast 22kW chargers.
Solar & Battery Integration
Want to 'fuel your car with sunshine'? We specialize in integrating your EV charger with solar panels and a battery, allowing you to charge for free using your own clean energy.
An Engineer's Insight:
The Scale of Power
Your electric shower might draw ~9kW of power for ten minutes. A 7kW EV charger draws a huge amount of power for 5 to 8 hours straight.
This is why a professional installation on its own dedicated, safe circuit is not just a recommendation—it's essential.
