ADAC survey shows: More than half have problems planning wallboxes in a shared household
In the survey, 57 percent of those surveyed complained about problems planning and organizing charging solutions within households.
31 percent also find coordination within the owners' association to be difficult.
45 percent would like to be able to forego a resolution within the owners' association.
Technically and legally, installing wall boxes in apartment buildings is actually not a problem.
But in practice there are still a lot of horse feet.

Around two thirds see price as a decisive factor when choosing a charging solution.

In view of the hurdles and problems that continue to exist, the ADAC, which has tested wallboxes, is calling on the federal government to remove legal and structural obstacles that hinder the expansion of charging infrastructure.
In addition, the measures provided for in the charging infrastructure master plan for the upgrading and digitalization of house connections as well as the evaluation and revision of the Building Electromobility Infrastructure Act (GEIG) would have to be implemented.
