E-mobility: charging is becoming easier
Parliament's Buildings Committee decided to slightly lower the hurdles for installing charging stations in garages that are part of residential property.
E-mobility: charging is becoming easier
Apartment owners who want to install a wallbox in the garage of their apartment block are no longer dependent on the express written consent of all other co-owners. A sensible decision, but according to the ÖAMTC it has a flaw. Martin Hoffer, head of the ÖAMTC legal services, explains: "With the lack of a definition of the term 'slow charging', the legislator is pushing the previous problem forward. Because wallboxes are equipped differently and work with different performance." Only charging with 3.7 kilowatts is no longer subject to the comprehensive consent requirement. However, all those who opt for a more powerful wallbox with 7.4 kW of power (a very common dimension) are looking into an uncertain future. Because of a lack of clear clarification in the law, it may be that you have to obtain the consent of all co-owners again - and the wallbox may not be able to be installed. And because charging points with 11 kW can still be implemented with reasonable construction effort, the mobility club is also calling for the complicated and often hopeless hurdle of express unanimity to be removed.
