New EV Charging Requirements in 2027 – What Property Owners Need to Know

10/23/2026 - From 1 January 2027, stricter EV charging requirements will apply to existing commercial buildings. New regulations for new construction and certain renovation projects have also been in effect since July 2026. For property owners, now is the time to review their charging infrastructure and plan for future needs.

Stricter Requirements for Existing Properties

Since January 2025, existing commercial buildings with more than 20 parking spaces have been required to provide at least one charging point. This requirement includes parking spaces both inside the building and on the property.

From 1 January 2027, additional requirements will apply to commercial buildings with more than 20 parking spaces inside the building, such as parking garages.

Property owners must meet at least one of the following requirements:

At least 50% of parking spaces must be equipped with the necessary infrastructure to enable future EV charging installations.
At least 10% of parking spaces must have installed charging points, equivalent to at least one charging point per ten spaces.

These additional requirements apply to parking spaces inside the building, not to outdoor parking spaces on the property.

New Requirements for Construction and Renovation

Since 1 July 2026, additional charging infrastructure requirements have also applied to new buildings and certain renovation projects.

Office buildings: At least one charging point for every two parking spaces.
Other commercial buildings: At least one charging point for every five parking spaces.
Multi-dwelling residential buildings: At least one charging point where there are more than three parking spaces.

Where these requirements apply, preparations for future charging must also be made, with cables installed for at least half of the parking spaces and cable infrastructure provided for the remaining spaces.

Plan Your EV Charging Investment in Advance

The new requirements mean that many property owners will need to review their existing charging infrastructure. Planning ahead creates better opportunities to develop a long-term, cost-effective solution.

Investment grants may also be available, for example through Klimatklivet or Ladda bilen, depending on how the charging facilities will be used and the applicable funding criteria.
