Be cost-efficient: Install charging stations when renovating

Installing a charging point or enabling the installation as a part of a renovation is cost-effective - whether the law requires it or not.

Some might worry that the renewed directive will require huge investments, too expensive for the building owners. According to the Technology Industries of Finland, installing charging point or tubing for cables as a part of a renovation does not raise the costs significantly. In many European countries, buildings are currently being thoroughly renovated, as buildings raised during the construction boom of the 70s need to be overhauled. This renovation boom comes at a perfect time for the EV industry: the demand for a charging infrastructure is constantly increasing, so why not build it now?

When all charging points installed live up to a certain, high standard, an EV driver doesn't have to worry about whether or not a charging point is compatible with his or her vehicle. Other than the standardised Type 2 charging plug, the modern and sustainable charging point can charge the vehicle with adequate, minimum charging power; allows remote, smart load management; and updates according to changing needs.
