Installing electric charging stations in parking lots offers a number of significant financial advantages, including substantial grants, tax credits and potential income from charging services.
- Subsidies and financial aid: The Advenir program offers subsidies covering up to 50% of the cost of charging stations for businesses, with a ceiling of up to €2,700 (excl. VAT) per charging point, depending on the power of the station. These subsidies are designed to significantly reduce the initial cost of installation.
- Increased property value: In addition to direct subsidies, the installation of charging stations can increase property value by meeting the growing demand for infrastructure compatible with electric mobility. It can also make properties more attractive to potential pro-tenants who own electric vehicles.
- Revenues generated by charging services: Car parks equipped with charging stations can generate additional revenues by charging users for charging services. This model can offer an ongoing return on investment and help amortize the operational costs associated with charging station maintenance.

The installation of charging stations in parking lots is not only a response to a regulatory obligation, but also an opportunity to invest in a strategic sector.

France's Mobility Orientation Law (Loi d'Orientation des Mobilités - LOM) imposes a number of specific obligations on land-based parking lots concerning the installation of charging stations for electric vehicles. Here is a summary of the main requirements:
- New buildings or those undergoing major renovations must pre-equip 20% of parking spaces for the future installation of charging stations.
- From January 1, 2025, all non-residential buildings with a parking lot of more than twenty spaces must install charging stations. For parking lots with more than 200 spaces, at least two charging points must be accessible to people with reduced mobility (PRM), one of which must be exclusively reserved for PRM.
- Parking areas with more than 10 spaces must provide for 5% of spaces to be equipped with charging points by 2025. This quota also applies to the size that allows access for PRMs.
- Stations must comply with current safety standards, including the appropriate sizing of electrical installations to support charging infrastructures. The sizing must enable at least 20% of the parking lot's total capacity to be supplied with charging stations.

These legal requirements are designed to promote sustainable mobility and respond to the growth in the use of electric vehicles in France. For more details on specific implementation and advice on navigating these regulations, please contact one of our experts today.
