On Wednesday, the Council of States adopted a motion by National Councillor J\u00fcrg Grossen by 24 votes to 18. The Federal Council should create binding regulations to ensure access to private charging stations in rented and owner-occupied apartments. The proponents argued that slow charging stations are a key lever for the mobility and energy transition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

<\/strong>Flavia Wasserfallen emphasized that a lack of charging infrastructure is one of the main reasons for stagnating sales figures for electric vehicles. “Cars need to be charged where they are,” she said. Thierry Burkart also pleaded for a state framework, “combustion engines would never have caught on without charging stations.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>The majority of the Council of States Committee for the Environment, Spatial Planning and Energy opposed a legal obligation. They warned against too much interference in the guarantee of property rights and private autonomy. Daniel F\u00e4ssler argued that the market should determine where charging infrastructure is created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>The Federal Council had also spoken out against the motion. According to the government, the situation is unclear in the current tenancy and condominium law. Nevertheless, it must now draw up proposals to implement the request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n
<\/strong>As part of the last revision of the CO\u2082 Act, the Federal Council wanted to provide up to CHF 30 million annually for charging infrastructure in apartment buildings and public parking lots. However, this measure failed at the time due to opposition from parliament.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
