Since March 11th 2021, it is mandatory to provide charging points in residential and non-residential buildings in Flanders. These obligations are necessary to meet the European Union climate neutral target. Below is a brief overview of the legal framework.
For parking lots of residential buildings
New-build projects with a parking space of at least two lots are required to provide basic infrastructure for charging points that will allow all parking spaces to have the option of providing a charging station.
Renovatieprojecten met meer dan 10 parkeerplaatsen vallen onder dezelfde regelgeving in de volgende situaties: Het is een ingrijpende renovatie op het parkeerterrein of de elektrische infrastructuur van het gebouw/parkeerterrein wordt gerenoveerd.
Existing buildings do not have obligations to provide a charging point. But the future of the automotive industry is electric so it's a smart choice to start thinking about the investment in a charging station at your home.
A major renovation is -specifically in the context of electromobility - the renovation of a building or car park, whereby more than 25% of the surface of the building shell undergoes a renovation.
For parkings lots of non-residential buildings (e.g. office buildings)
New-build and renovation projects: at least two charging points must be provided in car parks with a minimum of 10 parking spaces. In addition, at least one in four parkings spaces must also have charging infrastructure for electric cars.
Existing non-residential buildings: from the 1th of January 2025, all car parks of at least 20 parking spaces must have a minimum of two charging points for EV's.
