New 2025 regulations: Electric charging in new buildings will be mandatory… and it is a great opportunity

Electric mobility is ceasing to be a trend to become a consolidated reality. Sales of electric vehicles continue to grow and, with it, the needs for charging infrastructures are also multiplying. In this context, 2025 will mark a key turning point: The regulations that require all new residential buildings to include infrastructure for charging points come into force. And that changed everything.

As a company specialized in the professional installation of charging points, at Proelectric we want to help you understand what this change means, how it affects your sector and why it is an opportunity that deserves to be taken advantage of.

What does the new regulation establish?

The new law, aligned with the European Directive 2018/844 and included in the Technical Building Code (CTE), establishes that:

• All new residential buildings with private parking must have minimum infrastructure to allow the future installation of charging points for electric vehicles.
• Specifically, it is required that the complete pre-installation of pipes (ducts and wiring) be carried out for 100% of the parking spaces, which guarantees that any neighbor can install his point without the need for subsequent works. 
• It is also recommended to provide a main conduit that facilitates the electrical connection to the general panel of the building or garage.

This is not a “maybe in the future”. It is mandatory from the first project that is drafted in 2025 and will have immediate effects throughout the real estate sector.

What is considered “minimum infrastructure”?

One of the key points of this regulation is that it does not require the installation of chargers in each square, but to leave the installation ready so that they can be installed when the owners wish. That is, we are talking about a complete technical pre-installation, which includes:

• Channelling for each square
• Physical space reserved for wiring
• Fire-resistant electrical pipes or trays
• Power calculation planned in the electrical project
• Possibility of installing smart chargers in the future

From Proelectric we also recommend providing for a centralisation of the load system, which allows future collective solutions such as power management systems or independent meters.

What does this mean for developers and construction companies?

This legislative change directly affects developers, architects and construction companies, who must incorporate this infrastructure from the design phase of the building.In this sense, working with a company specialized in recharging facilities such as Proelectric from the beginning allows:

• Optimize costs: Preventing future reforms is much more profitable.
• Comply with the legality: Ensuring that the project passes all inspections and certifications.
• Revalue the promotion: Today more than ever, having the garage ready for electric vehicles is a differential selling point.

Homes that offer electric charging are aligned with current market demand and with the ESG criteria that many developers are already adopting.

And what about existing communities of owners?

Although the current regulations apply only to new buildings, their impact also extends to communities of neighbors in operation.Why? Because the trend is clear: More and more owners want to install a charging point in their square.

And, although in these cases general pre-installation is not required, many communities are beginning to act to:

• Make a common infrastructure that avoids individual works.
• Take advantage of grants such as Plan Moves III (up to 70% aid).
• Prepare for future regulations that could also make this installation mandatory for existing buildings.

How can Proelectric help you?

At Proelectric we have been working exclusively on the design and installation of charging points for years. This allows us to accompany our clients in all phases of the project: From the initial idea to after-sales maintenance.

We offer:

• Free technical advice
• Design of customized solutions for residential buildings, collective garages, public parking lots and companies
• Professional installation of single-phase or three-phase chargers
• Comprehensive processing of grants and subsidies
• Regulatory compliance and certifications

In addition, we work with the main manufacturers in the sector, which allows us to adapt each installation to the customer’s needs without compromising quality or safety.

Looking to the future: sustainable mobility, ready buildings

The electric vehicle is here to stay, and charging infrastructures are key to its expansion. But it is not just about “adapting” to a new regulation, but about leading the transformation towards cleaner, more efficient and responsible mobility.

For architects, developers, builders, property managers and individuals, this new obligation is also a great opportunity: to build more prepared, more modern and more sustainable buildings.

At Proelectric, we don’t just install charging points. We build the future.
