INSTALLER UNE BORNE DE RECHARGE DANS MA COPROPRIÉTÉ EN BFC

More and more drivers are opting for electric cars to get around. 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's a good idea to think in terms of a collective rather than individual solution, and one that's scalable. It's an opportunity to reduce installation costs and prepare for the future

Several solutions are available to condominium owners.

The first, known as "Private Operator Solutions", relies on companies specializing in recharging, with a turnkey service that requires little management on the part of the co-owner. The company is contacted by the property manager, and the co-ownership commits to a partner for a fixed period. The company is responsible for building the collective infrastructure, installing the individual terminals and maintaining them. The operator then turns to the GRD (usually Enedis) to supply the charging points. The co-owner has no remaining costs, and the company takes care of all the management. The co-owner then has his or her charging system at his or her place or in his or her garage via a connection fee to the collective infrastructure installed, or by being included in a subscription paid to the operator.

The second option, known as the "Auto Electric Network", relies on Enedis to install a collective infrastructure in the parking lot at the request of the condominium (online form). The installation enables all parking spaces to be serviced, whether outdoors or underground. It is then up to each resident to request, when they wish, to connect their space to the network via a dedicated Linky meter. The condominium owner will then need to engage the services of an electrician to install the desired charging mode, and then choose his or her electricity supplier. Exactly as for a single-family home. Once again, there's nothing left for the co-owner to pay, as Enedis covers the cost of the work and then invoices the co-owner by the tantième when he decides to connect his parking space.
The decision is taken at the General Meeting, provided that at least one proposal from a private company is put to the vote alongside that from Enedis.

The final alternative concerns the right to the socket. A condominium cannot prevent an owner or tenant from installing a recharging point if they so wish. However, if the decision is not collective, all connection and installation work will be the responsibility of the applicant.
