What if my Belfast landlord refuses permission?
You have three options: (1) offer to leave the charger as a free fixture when you move (most landlords accept since it adds property value), (2) install a portable charger you take with you, or (3) check on-street parking eligibility via cross-pavement gully.
Are there any extra Belfast council grants?
Belfast City Council does not currently participate in ORCS. Northern Ireland OZEV scheme applies. ORCS not currently active in NI — direct installation more common.
