Yes, it can be possible, and DP Electrical Specialists can help you explore the options. For a home without a driveway, a Kerbo cross-footway channel and a typical home charger installation could cost around £2,250 as a rough guide.
Is it possible to install an EV Charger at a Terraced House in Leeds?
We’ll explain what’s involved and provide a proper quote once we know more about your home.
EV Charger for Terraced House Leeds: how does the Kerbo channel work?
If you park on the street, you can’t trail a charging cable across the public pavement, even with a mat. The Leeds City Council pilot offers an approved way to get the cable from your home to your car: a channel recessed into the footway.
The council launched its 12-month pilot on 5 December 2025. Kerbo Charge is its approved partner, and its product is the only channel currently being used in the trial. You apply through Kerbo Charge, which arranges a site assessment and, if approved, the channel installation. An approved highways contractor fits the channel into the footway. To charge, feed your Type 2 cable into the channel; its lid closes behind it. Pull the cable out when you’ve finished.
The channel doesn’t include a home charger. You’ll need a suitable unit installed at your property, with protection that’s right for your electrical setup. We can check your supply, talk through options and explain the work before anything starts.
Is an EV Charger for Terraced House Leeds right for your home?
Picture a three-bedroom terraced house on Victoria Avenue, with a small backyard. Mum’s getting a new car and would love an EV, but there’s no driveway or private parking. In that situation, the Kerbo channel could make home charging possible. There are no lampposts or other street fixtures in the way, so there’s no obvious obstruction to making an application.
Before choosing an EV Charger for Terraced House Leeds, check your parking position and access to a ground-floor power supply. That’s a good starting point, but it doesn’t guarantee approval. The council must assess the location, and the channel can only be installed on publicly adopted highway. You’ll need to park near your home, on the same side of the road. The cable must not cross the carriageway, and the channel doesn’t reserve a parking space.
Think about your usual parking routine, too. If it’s very difficult to find a space nearby, the channel may not be convenient every week. In Leeds, we can help with the electrical side while Kerbo Charge and the council guide you through the application. We’re here to help households across Leeds make sense of the process.
What does an EV Charger for Terraced House Leeds cost?
As a rough starting point, allow around £2,250 for the channel and a typical home charger installation together. The channel charge includes the highway licence; the charger and electrical work are separate parts of the overall setup. Your final price depends on the unit you choose and what your home needs, so we’ll confirm costs after discussing the job.
The council says eligible applicants may be able to access a government grant. Check the current rules and apply before the channel and charger are installed. For up-to-date eligibility and application details, see the council’s EV charging guidance.
