You will need permsisson from your landlord if you live in a rented property however any standard home EV charger installations in Scotland can be carried out under permitted development rights, meaning a separate planning application may not be required.

However, conditions apply. For example, permitted development rights for wall-mounted chargers have restrictions relating to their size and proximity to a road, and different considerations may apply depending on the property and installation. If you are unsure, check with your local planning authority before proceeding.
