INSTALLER UNE BORNE DE RECHARGE DANS MA COPROPRIÉTÉ - ENEDIS BOURGOGNE

More and more drivers are choosing electric cars for their commutes. Today, almost 90% of these vehicles are recharged at home or at work (source: France Stratégie), and almost one household in two lives in a block of flats. As soon as the question of installing a charging station arises within a building, it makes sense to think in terms of a collective rather than individual solution, and one that is scalable. It's an opportunity to reduce installation costs and prepare for the future. It's also an opportunity to add value to the property when selling or renting it.

Enedis is committed to supporting the growth of electric mobility in buildings: Enedis facilitates the deployment of all charging infrastructures, by ensuring their connection, electricity supply and metering of the energy distributed, whatever the chosen installation solution. Today, condominiums and landlords can choose between two collective solutions to equip their parking lots with charging points. As a public service provider, Enedis assists with all the necessary procedures.

If the applicant is a tenant, he or she must request prior authorization from his or her landlord by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, with a copy to the building's managing agent detailing the planned work.

- If the landlord accepts, he must notify the inclusion of the work on the agenda of the general meeting within three months,
- If the landlord refuses, the tenant can give formal notice to the landlord to investigate his request under his right to take.

If the applicant is an owner, he must send his request for inclusion on the general meeting agenda to the managing agent by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt. The request must be accompanied by a detailed description of the planned work, together with a plan or diagram. It is also advisable to enclose quotes from installers, so that co-owners can assess the cost of the work.

Get training before you decide. The Bourgogne-Franche-Comté Mobilité Électrique association, BFC ME, offers free two-hour training courses to introduce the various players involved in electric mobility and the range of existing solutions. As a trusted third party, the association can provide answers to questions from property managers, social landlords, co-owners' associations or even the owners themselves, provided they can bring together 10 people, either face-to-face or remotely.

Steps involved in installing a charging station in a condominium

-Step ¹: An individual living in a condominium wishes to acquire an electric or rechargeable hybrid vehicle and have a charging station installed in his or her parking lot. He contacts his Syndic/Landlord to express his need, who then initiates a collective process to install compliant and upgradeable charging stations for the building's residents (owners or tenants).
^-2nd step: The Syndic/Landlord is supported by Enedis upstream of his project. Enedis organizes an on-site pre-visit with the Syndic/Landlord, the Syndical Council and electricians/engineers. The Syndic/Landlord or his representative formalises the connection request on the Enedis.fr portal
^-3rd stage: Approval by the General Meeting of the solution chosen by the co-ownership, after presentation of the quotes from the various parties involved (electricians/design office, Enedis, etc.) for the different solutions envisaged.
^-4thstage: Completion of the work.

2 standard single-phase 230 V recharging levels:
- Prise Véhicule Électrique = 3.7 kVA for occasional recharging
- Borne Véhicule Électrique = 7.4 kVA first level of night recharging

Installation at no cost to the condominium. Alongside private players capable of installing charging stations, a decree published in September 2022 and implemented in February 2023 allows Enedis or the local network operator to carry out the work involved in installing the necessary infrastructure for rechargeable vehicles through horizontal columns, provided that spaces are allocated, whether outdoors, in basements or in boxes. The cost of the work is financed by the operator, in most cases Enedis, and is not passed on to the condominium. Owners will be invoiced individually for the portion of the work paid for by Enedis, if they wish to use the recharging equipment only. Owners then choose their charging station supplier and installer. It takes between six months and a year from the initial steps to the use of the charging stations, including the decision-making process within the co-ownership.
