On January 1, 2025, a new EU law will enter into force requiring parking lots of heated non-residential buildings with more than 20 parking spaces in the building or on the plot to have at least one charging point for electric vehicles. It is high time to review your parking lot.
The new law aims to build a network of charging stations and create a common level of charging infrastructure across EU countries. This will make it easier to charge in large parking lots. Ultimately, this will reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the EU.
Given that the legal requirements will be further tightened on January 1, 2027, it is wise to think long-term. By then, there should be a charging point for every tenth parking space and advanced charging infrastructure for at least 50% of spaces.
Despite the fact that electric car sales have slowed down somewhat at the moment, the trend is clear: we will be driving electric cars to an increasing extent, and the charging infrastructure must keep up. So it’s wise to think a little bigger if you have the opportunity and install or prepare for more outlets while you’re at it.
Installing EV charging is good business for a property, business, and other public parking lots. And it doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive, especially if you choose a supplier who can take responsibility for the entire process, from design and installation to operation and support.
ChargeNode has been developing and establishing charging infrastructure since 2018 and is currently Sweden’s largest supplier of large-scale electric vehicle charging with almost 40,000 charging points around the country.
With a seamless charging and payment service, you as a facility owner have full control over all charging sessions, with automated payment flows for handling self-billing and payment of electricity costs. End users charge their cars via a user-friendly app, RFID tag or payment terminal.
Since ChargeNode develops its own hardware in the form of a beam solution and charging pole with lighting and provides external charging boxes, it can install and operate new charging systems based entirely on the requirements of the facility owner. If there are already existing sockets, it is possible to migrate them to ChargeNode’s charging and payment service.
ChargeNode’s electric car charging is also departure-based, which means that consumption is automatically distributed over time according to when each car needs to travel. This solves the problem of charging peaks that can easily occur if all cars need to charge at the same time, especially in the morning and evening when electricity is most expensive. By balancing the load on the grid, there is also no need to increase the power in the building. In other words, even more to gain. In some cases, there is also the possibility for a commercial operator to receive a grant from the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency.
With a new law on charging points, it is important to think long-term. Other benefits are that EV charging attracts more customers and guests, creates a more attractive workplace and, not least, is an important contribution to the transition to a fossil-free society.
