Sweden — EV charging and AC up to 22 kW
Strong demand from the 2026 building rules plus the green technology tax reduction for private individuals.
The 1–5 score is HUBCORE's operational estimate of how smoothly an AC solution of up to 22 kW can be prepared and delivered in practice. It is not an official country rating or an assessment of the quality of national regulation.
In 60 seconds
In Sweden, Boverket's new sustainable mobility rules entered into force on 1 July 2026, requiring pre-cabling and charging points in new and rebuilt buildings.
Existing non-residential buildings with more than 20 parking spaces have been subject to a retroactive requirement for at least one charging point since 1 January 2025.
For a private individual, the green technology tax reduction can cover up to 50% of labour and material costs for a compliant charging point installation.
Work on another party's electrical installation may only be carried out by a registered electrical installation company.
AC up to 22 kW: what must be checked?
Existing grid connection capacity
Check the building's connection capacity and whether pre-cabling already exists.
Capacity upgrade
A capacity upgrade is costly; load management is the first alternative to test.
Apartment building decision
In an apartment building (bostadsrättsförening), a board decision and agreement on costs and parking spaces are needed.
Public or private use
For a publicly accessible point, AFIR requirements on ad hoc charging, payment and price information apply.
Installer requirements
The installer must be in the Elsäkerhetsverket register; verify this before contracting.
Detached house
The detached house is an attractive segment in Sweden: Skatteverket's green technology tax reduction can cover up to 50% of labour and material costs of a compliant charging point installation for a private individual. Eligibility must be checked case by case.
Apartment building
A new or rebuilt apartment building with more than 3 parking spaces needs pre-cabling for 50% of spaces, ducts for the rest and at least 1 charging point. The tax reduction does not automatically extend to every multi-household solution.
Commercial property
A non-residential building with more than 5 parking spaces has the same pre-cabling requirement plus at least 1 charging point per 5 spaces; for offices 1 per 2 spaces. Some requirements expand in 2027.
Public charging
The AFIR framework applies to public charging. Existing non-residential buildings with more than 20 parking spaces are subject to a requirement for at least one charging point from 1 January 2025.
Advantages
- The 2026 building rules create clear demand in new builds and rebuilds.
- The green technology tax reduction of up to 50% supports the detached-house segment.
- The smart energy market is mature and a controllable solution is expected.
Drawbacks and risks
- The installer registration requirement narrows partner choice.
- The market is mature and competitive.
- The tax reduction does not automatically extend to every multi-household solution.
What HUBCORE solves here
- Dynamic load management that uses the pre-cabling without exceeding the connection.
- Measurement and monitoring of energy flows at building level.
- Coordinated control of multiple chargers and phase balancing.
- Reporting and integration readiness for the association and the manager.
We keep track of markets and technology and guide the customer to a suitable solution. A solution must be measurable, controllable and integrable.
Check before quoting
- Building type and number of parking spaces.
- Whether the new build, rebuild or existing building requirement applies.
- Existence and extent of pre-cabling.
- Installer registration.
- Eligibility for the tax reduction in the specific case.
