Vehicle charging stations mandatory since January 1st

According to the amendment, as of January 1, 2025, the owner or manager of non-residential buildings with more than 20 parking spaces owned by large businesses will be required to install at least one charging point.

The amendment of the Act on Electromobility and Alternative Fuels has significant implications for owners and administrators of non-residential buildings. The Amendment imposes an obligation to install electric vehicle charging points by 1 January 2025.

What properties are affected by the Amendment?

The change applies to buildings other than residential ones that provide more than 20 parking spaces inside or adjacent to the building.

By being adjacent to the building, the legislator means both direct and indirect adjacency.

What exact obligations are imposed?

The owner or administrator of the building is required to install, by 1 January 2025:

✅ At least one electric vehicle charging point

✅ Electrical ducts and conduits to allow the installation of electric vehicle charging points, 1 for every 5 parking spaces that are located inside or adjacent to the building.

This means that charging points for electric cars should make up around 20% of the total number of spaces. Accordingly, if a building has 30 parking spaces, the requirement is to install facilities that can support 6 electric vehicle charging points.
