Stratford’s post-Olympic apartments often come with allocated parking bays — which can make EV charging more achievable here than in many terraced parts of east London. GFL Electrical are NICEIC EV charger installers covering E15 and E20, and we’ll assess the best option for your home.
Charging across Stratford
The area’s housing creates two scenarios:
- New-build flats with allocated bays (East Village E20, International Quarter): an allocated space plus a modern supply often makes a compliant install feasible — though you’ll usually need the management company’s permission and a route from the supply to your bay.
- Older terraces (Maryland, off the Broadway): mostly on-street parking, where we assess whether a safe cable run is possible.
- Communal car parks may suit individually-metered charge points.
OZEV grant for Stratford residents
With so many leasehold flats and rentals, lots of Stratford residents qualify for the EV chargepoint grant (up to £500 per socket), aimed at flat owners, renters, and landlords with off-street or allocated parking. See our OZEV grant guide.
A proper install
- A dedicated circuit to the charge point
- A supply/board capacity check
- A safe, agreed cable route to your allocated bay
- Full certification to BS 7671

Common questions about EV charging in Stratford
My East Village flat has an allocated bay — can I get a charger? Often yes, with the management company’s permission and a workable supply route; we’ll advise on what’s needed.
Is a new-build easier than an older home for EV charging? Often, yes — allocated parking and modern supplies help, though building permission is usually required.
Can I claim the grant for my E20 flat? Likely, with allocated parking — we handle the application as your installer.
