Non-EV residents initially see only costs. But the picture is more nuanced than they might think.
Three pillars for non-EV residents
1. Lower service charges
The fixed costs of a large grid connection - grid management, standing charge, transport costs - are currently paid by all members through service charges. When EV drivers contribute to those fixed costs through their kWh billing, service charges fall for everyone. For VvEs with a large connection, this can be substantial.
2. Increased property value
A parking space with a charging option is worth more than one without - both when selling the parking space and when selling the apartment. This effect will only increase in the years ahead.
3. Future-proofing
From 2035, no new combustion engine vehicles may be sold in the EU. In 2025, over 80% of new cars already had a plug. Everyone will eventually drive electric. Those who invest now do so on better terms than those who wait until they have no choice.
What does it concretely cost a non-EV resident?
This depends on the chosen billing model (maximum, shared or cost-neutral) and the size of the connection. The Quick Scan calculates this for your specific situation.
