Locks Heath is a residential suburb of Fareham in south Hampshire, sitting between Southampton and Portsmouth and once known for the strawberry fields that gave the area its nickname. Today it runs into a ring of neighbouring communities — Sarisbury and Swanwick to the west, Park Gate and Whiteley to the north, and Warsash and the River Hamble to the south — with Solent Business Park and the M27 close at hand. That mix of settled estates and easy commuter links makes it a natural place for EV charging, and Evova lists installers covering the whole SO31 area.

Most Locks Heath homes are post-war semis, detached houses and newer estates, and the majority come with the off-street parking that makes charging straightforward. A standard single-phase electricity supply comfortably runs a 7kW smart charger, enough to fully charge most EVs overnight. There are also some older character properties closer to the shopping village, and here a driveway or hardstanding still makes for the simplest install — the installer you choose will check your supply and consumer unit as part of the quote, so you know exactly what’s involved before any work starts. Where a home has no off-street parking, ask about the dedicated grants that can help.

Charging for Locks Heath homes, businesses and beyond

With its residential estates, its shopping village and Solent Business Park just up the road, Locks Heath has demand for charging well beyond the home driveway. Installers covering the SO31 area can help with:

Home charging on the driveways of Locks Heath’s semis, detached homes and newer estates
Workplace and fleet charging for employers around Solent Business Park and Whiteley off the M27
Solar-integrated charging to make the most of panels on the south-coast roofs of Warsash and Sarisbury
