Germany amends Building Electromobility Infrastructure Act to update charging requirements

By Eve

Taylor Wessing reports that Germany has amended the Building Electromobility Infrastructure Act (GEIG), which governs charging infrastructure requirements for new and renovated buildings. The amendment updates obligations for property developers and owners regarding the installation of EV charging points. Details of the specific changes to installation thresholds or technical standards were not disclosed in the available excerpt.

Why it matters: The GEIG amendment will directly affect procurement specifications and compliance obligations for developers and property managers commissioning charging infrastructure in German building projects. CPOs and installers must adapt their offerings to meet the revised regulatory framework.
