Are you worried that you don't have a driveway to charge at home if you purchase an EV? We all know that home charging is one of the cheapest ways to keep an EV charged. So, what are your options if you can't do that? In this guide, we'll explore the different ways you can charge your electric car without a driveway. 

Charge at work

If you spend a lot of time at work and your workplace parking lot has charging stations, it can be a convenient option to leave your car to charge during the day. This might not be possible for everyone, but more and more workplaces are setting up chargers in their car parks.

Portable chargers 

You can use a portable charger to charge your electric car. These chargers can be plugged into a regular wall outlet and can provide a slow but steady charge to your vehicle. Some houses aren't suitable for plugging in EV chargers, so make sure you check this beforehand.

A residential car park

There are also a variety of residential charging solutions available that don't require a driveway. Many councils are installing more and more charging points around cities. This solution allows owners of electric cars to top them up while they're parked. But if there's none available, chat with your building owner to install a charging station on a nearby street or use a retractable cable system to charge your car from the sidewalk. But check your settings on your car to make sure it's not pulling too much electricity and creating a fire risk.

Share a charger

If you have friends or family members who live nearby and have a driveway or garage, you may be able to charge your electric car at their home. And just use that every couple of days to help keep you topped up.
