Grants for charging stations support the building of electromobility infrastructure by businesses, local authorities and public station operators. Conditions vary depending on who is applying and whether the station will be publicly accessible – public accessibility tends to be favoured or a direct condition. What tends to be eligible is charging points, accessories, construction work, the connection and project documentation, with the level of support generally derived from the type and power of the charging. Common conditions are a minimum period of operation, ensuring access, and reporting operational data. For business installations, state aid is also assessed, since it constitutes an advantage for the enterprise. As with other investments, ordering and installation must not take place before the eligible period for expenditure.
