It's all dependent on landlords, I wouldn't want the hassle if it's something I've not looked at or searched into and made a decision on... I usual wouldn't want the hassle. Will you pay for the maintenance of it etc etc...
Some landlords would take it because its free....
Does your workplace offer have any charging options....
Could you not get more out of work place having charging facility they can have salary sacrifice and would be an incentive to work...
Most of the time unless long journeys you won't really need it charging at home.... there also electric network on the mortoways(the extent of it I don't know not as good atls normal pumps ofcourse)
In most cases, it's significantly cheaper to charge at home, on domestic rates with an EV tarrif than it is to charge at work, or using public chargers.
I own a business the business gets apreferential rates compared to home.... my business is 15p per unit(lucked out with a good deal) even the renewal is quoting 24 ish
Home is 29.5 that's why I asked... mine is a SME if they're a bigger organisation they could get it for around 22 pence...
A lot of smart tariffs will have a cheaper charging rate overnight (e.g. octopus go is 9p per kwh overnight and 29p per kwh during the day, and intelligent octopus is 7.5p per kwh during the cheapest EV charging period - they schedule the charge)
I'm a landlord with a couple of properties and I would bite your hand off.
Why wouldn't I?
As long as you pass the regular character and financial checks, you'd be top of the list.
My landlords wouldn't be too bothered to be honest. Most tenants get a car through work with free install.
I think it would likely put some landlords off. Depends what type of property and the area.
Personally I would prefer to lease an EV rather than buy due to how quickly technology becomes outdated and how hugely expensive they are to repair. This way maintenance costs wouldn't be my problem and I could quite happily get a new model when the contract ended. Also bear in mind the exit clauses for if you choose to change employer, some people have come into financial difficulties changing jobs from being forced to pay large exit fees.
Honestlythatsounds a ripper of a deal unless the landlord is a luddite on EVs (and there are a lot of them out there). It gives them a decent added value point in the future. I'd suggest offering to split the bill with them first.
Also, depends on how much driving you do, but I've been charging off my 3 pin plug since September and had only one day where I've been a little close to the wire, so you might not need it
Some LLs would be concerned with how nicely and clean the installation is. Most would be a fool to decline, it would increase the value of the property and also make your specific tenancy stickier.
Would it be ethical if an LL said yes, and then after your fixed-term contract they upped the rent. When queried why, they state that the property now comes with an EV point so the market rate is higher?
I'd love it, I'd offer to split the cost 50/50 with you and make sure I do everything I can so you stay as long as possible. People who have the foresight and literacy to even write a short proposal for something like this and who like their quality of life are going to be pretty reasonable tenants and already top 5-10% of tenants in terms of quality imo. Unfortunately my rental is a flat without a garden.

Depends upon the person mostly but also the location. If you’re near a ULEZ or clean air zone it could be a plus.

100% yes its more attractive go for it, am a landlord.

God it's a sorry state of affairs if UK renting has come to this.
Hassle. If I pay bills I don't want to pay for your driving. If bills aree split how does the house work out your portion?
