EV Charging Across Basingstoke
Basingstoke is about 20 minutes from Fleet along the M3, and one of our strongest areas for EV charger demand. The town's excellent rail link to London Waterloo makes it popular with commuters, and commuters are among the fastest adopters of electric vehicles. The newer estates at Beggarwood, Hatch Warren, and Manydown have modern consumer units and good driveways – ideal for home charging.
Beggarwood, Hatch Warren, and Manydown
The newer estates on the southern and western edges of Basingstoke are where we see the strongest demand. Modern detached and semi-detached houses with garages, driveways, and consumer units with spare capacity. Most installations here are straightforward and take 3–4 hours. Commuters charging overnight on smart tariffs like Octopus Go are driving demand for OHME chargers in particular.
1960s–80s Estates (South Ham, Popley, Brighton Hill, Kempshott)
The older estates have driveways on most properties but the consumer units typically need upgrading. The original 1960s–70s boards lack the spare capacity and RCD protection required for a dedicated EV circuit. We include any necessary fuseboard upgrade in the fixed quote.
Old Basing, Lychpit, and Chineham
The eastern suburbs have a mix of housing types. Old Basing has period properties that need careful installation planning. Lychpit and Chineham have 1980s–90s estates with good driveways and relatively modern consumer units – straightforward installations.
