Obligatory charging stations 

Since 11 March 2021, it has been mandatory to provide charging stations in residential and non-residential buildings. These obligations are necessary to meet the European goal of being climate neutral. Below is a brief overview of the legal framework. 

For parking lots of residential buildings

• New construction projects with parking of at least two parking spaces are required to provide basic infrastructure for charging stations that will allow all parking spaces to have the option of providing a charging station..

• Renovation projects with more than 10 parking spaces fall under the same regulations in the following situations:  it's a major renovation on the car park or the electrical infrastructure of the building/parking lot is being renovated.

• Existing homes have no obligations to provide a charging point. But the future of cars is electric, so it is smart to think about investing in a charge point at your home. 

A major renovation is - specifically in the context of electromobility - the renovation of a building or parking building, where more than 25% of the building envelope area undergoes renovation. 

For parkings lots of non-residential buildings (e.g. office buildings)

• New construction and renovation projects:  At least two charging points must be provided in car parks from 10 parking spaces. In addition, at least one in four parking spaces must also have charging infrastructure for electric cars. 

• Existing non-residential buildings: from 1 January 2025 all car parks of at least 20 parking spaces must be equipped with at least two EV charging points
