Commercial EV charging / Flats & apartment blocks

EV Charging For Flats And Apartment Blocks

EV charging for residents, planned around your car park. REX installs charge points for flats and apartment blocks across London and the South East, working with landlords, freeholders and managing agents. We look at parking, power and how residents will pay before we recommend anything.

Overview

Charging Where Your Residents Park.

Most blocks were not built with EV charging in mind. Adding it means working out where the chargers can go, whether the building’s supply can take the load, how the cables reach the bays and how residents pay for what they use.

We work through all of this with you before any equipment is recommended. You get a plan and a price based on your building, not a package off the shelf.

Who we work with

For The People Who Look After The Building.

Landlords And Freeholders

Give your residents a practical way to charge where they park, without turning the car park into a building site.

Managing Agents And Residents’ Companies

We deal with the survey, the electrical work and the installation, and we can explain the options clearly to leaseholders.

Residents And Leaseholders

If you want a charger at your own bay, the freeholder or managing agent will normally need to agree. We can tell you what is possible and what to ask them.

Developers

If you are building a new block, plan the charging early. See our work with new developments ↗

Planning

Planned Around Your Building.

For existing blocks, we start with a survey. We check the electrical capacity, agree where chargers can go, plan the cable routes and any groundworks, and set up load management where the supply needs it.

For new developments, we coordinate charger locations and electrical provision with your project team, so the work fits the build programme.

REX carries out the survey, the electrical work and the installation ourselves.

Payment

Residents Pay For Their Own Charging.

We can set up a payment system so residents pay for the electricity they use at the chargers, as we did at Headgate. We will talk you through the payment options, and who owns and maintains the equipment, before anything is agreed.

Grants & funding

Help With The Cost.

Grant for landlords. Eligible residential landlords can claim 75% of the cost of buying and installing charge points, up to £500 per socket and up to 200 sockets a year. GOV.UK says the grant is funded until 31 March 2027, though the government can change or end it.

The grant must be approved before installation starts, the work has to be done by an OZEV-approved installer, and the approved installer submits the claim to OZEV after the installation. REX is an OZEV-authorised installer.

The larger infrastructure grant has closed. The separate grant of up to £30,000 towards wiring and groundwork closed on 31 March 2026.

Grants for residents. If you own or rent a flat, you can apply for up to £500 towards one charge point socket, with written permission from the landlord or freeholder.

Funded charging. Some blocks may qualify for partner-funded or revenue-share charging. It depends on the site and a partner assessment. Ask us and we will explain what applies to your building.

Case study

A Recent Installation.

At Headgate in Colchester, a new-build block of 54 flats, REX installed two post-mounted 7 kW chargers in the resident car park. We ran the cables, carried out the full electrical installation, installed the posts and chargers, and set up a payment system so residents pay for their own charging.
