Summary by the Danish Parliament (in Danish)
Lovforslaget giver beboere i lejeboliger, almene boliger, ejerboliger og andelsboliger ret til at etablere et ladepunkt til opladning af elektriske køretøjer i umiddelbar nærhed af deres bopæl, hvis der er tilknyttet parkeringsplads eller -areal til den ejendom, som de bor i. Forslaget skal fjerne forhindringer for etablering af ladepunkter for personer, der bor i ejendomme, hvor en udlejer eller en forening har retten til at disponere over fælles- eller udenomsarealerne. Lovforslaget implementerer derved dele af EU-direktiv 2024/1275 af 24. april 2024 om bygningers energimæssige ydeevne. Loven foreslås at træde i kraft den 1. januar 2026.
