Sweden is spending vast resources on alleviating the cost of fossil fuels - while measures that would actually reduce oil dependence are moving too slowly. Home charging is one of the most tangible keys. The politics have yet to match the ambition.
Voices from politics, industry and research
For the first time, ChargeNode invites you to a seminar of its own during Almedalen Week. In the 2030 arena, politicians, industry players and research meet in a conversation about how Sweden is moving from symptom relief to structural measures.
Vad krävs för att göra hemmaladdning möjlig för fler? Och hur ser en politik ut som på riktigt minskar fossilberoendet istället för att tillfälligt mildra kostnaden av det?
Annika Abraham
"Frågan är inte om vi ska elektrifiera, utan om Sverige ska fortsätta lindra kostnaden av oljeberoendet eller börja bygga bort det."
Johanna Minding Kriisa
"Vem har faktiskt tillgång till hemmaladdning till ett konkurrenskraftigt pris? Det är en demokratifråga."
Joel Ambré
"Kan vi halvera effektbehovet i alla fastigheter får vi ett enormt genomslag."
It's not just about climate. At a time of geopolitical turmoil, reduced oil dependence is a security issue. The pace of change determines how vulnerable the transport system is.
If people cannot charge where they live, electrification is effectively slowed down. Especially in apartment blocks and condominium associations - where 18,510 BRFs still lack charging.
Compared to what the state spends annually on fossil subsidies, the measures that allow home recharging are a fraction. The issue isn't resources - it's prioritization.
ChargeNode operates the charging service behind Nästa Energy Lab — one of Europe's largest V2G projects, launched today in Torslanda. With 160 charging points and a proprietary charging platform, ChargeNode enables a system where vehicles, buildings and batteries interact in real time. A partnership with Buddy Energy and Volvo Cars sets a new standard for large-scale V2G integration.

The government's proposal for individual charging rights risks creating technical chaos in Sweden's BRFs. ChargeNode explains why collective end-to-end solutions are essential for safe, equitable and sustainable electrification.
Buddy Energy and ChargeNode create an integrated energy solution in Halvorseng Logistics Park. Solar power, energy storage and smart charging make electrified logistics sustainable and profitable.
