EU Mandates EV Charging Points in Large Non-Residential Parking Lots by 2025

The EU is set to implement a new directive on 1 January 2025, requiring non-residential buildings with 20 or more parking spaces to install at least one charging point. This move aims to boost electric vehicle (EV) adoption and infrastructure across the continent, with breaking news on the directive's impact on businesses and consumers.

Under the new rules, one in five parking spaces must be equipped with charging infrastructure by 2025, with this increasing to one in ten by 2027. Additionally, 50% of all spaces should have preparatory infrastructure for future charging installations by the same year. CTEK, a leading EV charging solutions provider, recommends long-term planning for these installations.

The directive also applies to news-worthy new commercial buildings with at least ten parking spaces, which must have at least one EV charge point by 2025. While specific companies in Germany are yet to be named, the regulation generally affects all operators of non-residential parking facilities meeting the criteria.

By 2027, non-residential buildings with more than 20 parking spaces are expected to have significant EV charging infrastructure in place, supporting the growing number of electric vehicles on European roads.
