Charging Stations
For the developing and necessary electrification of transport, the charging station infrastructure must be expanded. That is the declared political objective, in the achievement of which many regulatory prescriptions – promoting but inhibiting at the same time – have to be observed. Operators of public charging stations are subject e.g., to the charging stations and price disclosure regulation and the weights and measures law. In addition, energy law provisions (e.g., the Energy Industry Act (EnWG), and the Renewable Energy Act (EEG)) have to be observed.
All these regulations affect both the technical design of charging points and the contractual provisions between the parties. The parties include, not only the Charge Point Operator (CPO) and the user but possibly also the owner of the land, the network operator and an E-Mobility Provider (EMP). We support all parties in that area in designing charging infrastructure projects in accordance with the regulatory environment.
