Under another electric car development program set up by Avere-France, financial assistance can cover up to 40% of the cost in apartment blocks (capped amount). In France, this can be financed through energy-saving certificates (subject to means testing). Now, after notifying the other co-owners, everyone has the right to have a charging point installed at their own cost. Financial assistance in FranceĪ directive on the energy performance of buildings published in the Official Journal of the European Union on June 19, 2018, sets the framework for the right to an electrical socket. Electricity consumption is then billed separately for each user. However, there is financial assistance available for both owners and renters of the property in question. Moreover, all new buildings must offer access to a collective charging facility whose cost is billed to the applicant(s). So, for existing buildings, the regulations mean that co-owners must set a date for putting charging facilities on their general meeting agenda. This is why an EU directive called the EPBD (Energy Performance of Buildings Directive), a revised version of which was published in 2018, sets a framework in place which each country must transpose into its own law. The regulations apply to apartment blocks that have covered enclosed parking lots but are more difficult to enforce in co-owned properties without parking lots.

In France, this right has been granted since January 1st 2015, under the Mobility Law (“Loi pour les Mobilités”). This being the case, measures have been introduced to try and meet the needs of apartment dwellers, including those without their own attributed parking space.

Studies show that most electric vehicles are charged in private areas, essentially at home or at the workplace.
