Our handy new EV charging search filter helps house-hunters quickly spot homes with EV charging points nearby. Whether you’re already driving electric or planning the switch, it’s a simple way to future-proof your next move.
By teaming up with Vauxhall, we’re making home-hunting smarter by helping buyers and renters find properties that fit modern lifestyles, with sustainability and convenience built in. Here's how the feature works, and why it’s a real game-changer for today’s eco-conscious movers.
Why does living near an EV charging point matter?
Let’s be honest, just having a petrol station around the corner doesn’t cut it anymore. With electric vehicles fast becoming the norm, having access to nearby EV charging points is turning into a must-have for home-hunters. And thanks to our new EV charging point filter, powered by our partnership with Vauxhall, it’s now easy to find homes that keep you plugged into the future.
Everyday convenience
Public EV charging points close to home make life a whole lot simpler. Whether you don’t have off-street parking, need a top-up on the go, or just want the flexibility of more charging options, having chargers nearby means less stress and more time back in your day. Our new EV map helps you spot properties within easy reach of local charging points, so you can choose a location that works for your lifestyle.
Property appeal
Homes near public chargers are increasingly attractive to buyers and renters, especially as EV ownership rises. Access to reliable, convenient charging can be a big tick on someone’s wishlist, making your property more appealing if you ever decide to sell or let.
Future-proofing
With the government planning to end the sale of new petrol and diesel cars by 2035, demand for homes with good EV infrastructure is only set to grow. Being near a public charging point could soon be as important as good schools or local shops. It pays to plan ahead.
Now that finding EV-friendly homes is easier than ever, your next move can be smarter, greener, and ready for whatever the road ahead brings.

What’s the EV search filter for?
From July 2025, you can now filter homes that.
Already have a fitted EV charger: No need to wait; just park, plug in, and power up.
Are pre-wired for an EV charger: Perfect if you want to install a charger yourself at a later date without the hassle of rewiring.
Have a driveway: Because charging on the street isn’t exactly convenient (or always allowed).
Are near public charging points: These appear clearly on the map view, so you’re never far from a top-up.
How to use the EV filter on Zoopla
Whether you already drive electric or are planning your switch, we’re making it easier to find a home that suits your greener lifestyle. Our new EV Charging filter helps you spot properties that either have a charging point installed or are EV-ready, meaning they’re all set up for easy installation.
Head to the property’s description for the full lowdown on its EV-rediness, putting you one step ahead on sustainable living.
And it doesn’t stop there. On any property listing, you can now view nearby public EV charging stations on the map – ideal if you're still mulling over an at-home setup or just like to keep your options open.
With electric vehicles becoming the norm and 2035 creeping closer, a home without charging capability might soon be as rare as a petrol station in the countryside. So whether you’re upgrading your driveway or on the hunt for that pre-wired gem, Zoopla’s got your back.
Our chief operating officer at Zoopla, Rich Hayes, said: “We’re proud to be the first property website to offer consumers the ability to find the nearest on-street chargers to a property, and filter properties with home-charging. By improving Zoopla’s search functionality, our aim is that we will empower more confident moving decisions, particularly for current and future EV owners.”
