The German government has issued new regulations for charging points on company car parks. From 2025, many businesses must provide charging infrastructure. What this means for your business and how you can benefit from it, you’ll learn here.
The New Charging Requirement at a Glance
The Building Electromobility Infrastructure Act (GEIG) requires that for new builds and major renovations of non-residential buildings with more than 20 parking spaces, at least one charging point must be installed.
Key Requirements:
- Non-residential buildings with >20 parking spaces: At least 1 charging point required
- Cable infrastructure: Every 5th parking space must be equipped with conduits
- Existing buildings: From 2027, all non-residential buildings with >20 parking spaces must have a charging point
What Does This Mean for Your Business?
If your business has parking spaces, you should act now:
- Check your parking space count – are you affected by the requirement?
- Plan early – delivery times for charging stations can be long
- Use funding programmes – attractive grants are still available
- Turn the requirement into an opportunity – earn money with the charging station
From Requirement to Revenue Source
Instead of viewing the charging station purely as a cost factor, you can turn it into a revenue source with cocharge. Here’s how it works:
- You install a calibration-compliant charging station
- During working hours, your employees use the station
- Outside working hours, the station is publicly accessible
- You receive 85% of revenue from public charging sessions
Benefits of Early Implementation
- Use funding: Attractive grants are still available
- Retain employees: Charging facility as a benefit
