BAKGRUNN (fra kommisjonsmeddelelsen)

Introduction
The aim of this report is to inform the European Parliament and the Council on how building policies can contribute to the promotion of electromobility across the European Union according to the requirement in Article 8(2) of the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (the EPBD) . 

On 15 December 2021, the Commission adopted a proposal to recast the EPBD. This proposal would introduce a new Article 12 on infrastructure for sustainable mobility which would strengthen and extend the scope of the existing provisions on electromobility.

This report is based on a study commissioned by the European Commission and carried out between January and August 2022 3 . The study examined barriers to, and best practices for, the deployment of recharging infrastructure in buildings. These are presented in this report.
