Demand for EV charging points is reaching Luxembourg co-ownerships faster than the answers. The good news: the framework already exists, and it is simpler than it looks — provided you start in the right place, the general meeting.
In Luxembourg, the decision goes through the general meeting
A co-owner who wishes to install a charging point must request authorisation from the general meeting, and the meeting must vote in favour. This is the process described in the "maintenance fund" FAQ on logement.public.lu, in its section on installations required for electric mobility.
One clarification saves a great deal of confusion: the French rules found everywhere online — the so-called "right to plug in" — belong to another legal system and do not describe the Luxembourg situation.
That does not mean a refusal is final. Where the meeting refuses, the court may authorise the co-owner or co-owners to carry out the works, provided they are not such as to harm the soundness or appearance of the building, or to inconvenience the other co-owners (article 16 b) of the law of 16 May 1975).
A joint approach rather than an individual one
A joint initiative by several co-owners is possible and strongly recommended. The reason is practical: an installation designed for the building costs less per parking space than a series of individual connections, and it avoids saturating the building's electrical supply by the third applicant.
Ahead of the vote, one or more interested co-owners — or the property manager — should look into the feasibility of installing one or more charging points, or even an intelligent charging system integrated into the building. That preliminary study is what allows the meeting to be presented with an informed decision rather than an intention.
Which majority, depending on the project
Two situations, two regimes. An individual charging point affecting the common areas falls under the authorisation of article 16 b) — this is the case where recourse to the court exists if it is refused.
Common infrastructure, by contrast, falls under the absolute majority of article 16: the resolution is adopted if more than half the votes of all co-owners are cast in favour — not only those present. This covers works to create infrastructure in the common areas with a view to installing technical ducts (16 f) and installations for producing and storing energy from renewable sources (16 g).
One often-overlooked point avoids losing a year: failing that majority, a fresh meeting decides by a majority of those present or represented. A poorly prepared project is delayed, not buried.
The maintenance fund can pay for the infrastructure
The maintenance fund, mandatory since 1 August 2023 for all co-ownerships governed by the 1975 law, finances works voted by the general meeting — including the creation of infrastructure with a view to installing technical ducts in the common areas. Bringing a building's electrical capacity up to standard therefore does not have to come out of nowhere: it has a dedicated funding vehicle, topped up every year.
Technical constraints to anticipate
The installation must be carried out by a qualified electrician, in accordance with the standards in force in Luxembourg. Another point that drives the sizing: according to the logement.public.lu FAQ, from a power of 7 kW the network operator requires connection to a smart meter.
This is precisely why feasibility is studied before the meeting: the question is not "can we fit a charging point" but "what can the building's electrical board take, and up to how many spaces".
Available financial support
⚠️ To check before building a funding plan: the legislative framework for the 2026 aid scheme is, as things stand, still a bill (draft law 8577) and has not been definitively published. The information circulated is indicative and may change until promulgation.
Subject to that reservation, an aid scheme exists for installing private charging points, and the 2026 scheme also covers collective intelligent charging management systems — that is, exactly the scenario of a co-ownership equipping several parking spaces.
For that collective-system aid, the co-owners' association is itself eligible where the majority of the shares is held by natural persons or by eligible legal entities (non-profit associations, foundations, civil companies without economic activity). Applications may be filed online via MyGuichet.lu.
Amounts and ceilings change from one scheme to the next, so we deliberately do not reproduce them here. The dedicated guichet.public.lu page is authoritative for the amount in force when you apply.
A subject taken up by the profession
On 30 January 2026 the Luxembourg association of professional property managers (GSPL) held an information session dedicated to charging points in co-ownerships, with Klima-Agence, CREOS and the Labour and Mines Inspectorate.
Where to find the rules
The co-ownership process and the technical constraints are described in the maintenance fund FAQ on logement.public.lu. The financial support is presented on guichet.public.lu. The majority regime is in the law of 16 May 1975 (consolidated version).
