Why do commercial properties and parking garages need charging solutions?

Charging requirements are growing – and with them the demand for real estate

Electric vehicles make an important contribution to reducing CO₂ emissions in traffic. At the same time, the proportion of electrically powered company, fleet and private vehicles is growing steadily.
As many people are unable to install their own wallbox at home, the demand for charging is increasingly shifting to workplaces, commercial spaces and parking garages.

Properties that are already equipped with charging points today offer real added value:
Employees, customers or tenants can charge their vehicles during working or parking hours – and it is precisely these idle times that are used efficiently.

Future security through forward-looking planning

Charging points are already among the most important features of commercially used properties.
Investments in charging infrastructure ensure long-term rentability, meet ESG (environmental, social and governance) requirements and create planning security.

Those who think about charging infrastructure from the outset benefit twice over:
An integrated, scalable solution is significantly more cost-efficient than retrofitting at a later date.

Attractiveness and value enhancement

By installing charging points, owners and investors are sending a clear signal for sustainability and modern building technology.
Charging facilities increase the quality of stay for employees and customers, increase the property value and at the same time meet ESG criteria and EU taxonomy requirements.

For users of the charging stations – whether employees or customers – it is obvious and attractive to charge their vehicle where they spend time anyway.

Profitability and revenue opportunities

Modern charging infrastructure is not a cost factor, but can be operated economically.
With a flexible tariff and billing system, different user groups can be individually mapped and billed.

This is made possible by the reev softwarewhich operators can use to automatically bill charging processes, manage user groups and set individual tariffs.

This turns the obligation into a profitable solution with clear cost control.

Legal framework 2025: GEIG at a glance

The GEIG stipulates binding technical requirements for charging infrastructure:

• – Existing buildings: from 20 parking spaces → at least one charging point
• – New buildings: from 6 parking spaces → every third parking space with cable infrastructure
• – Renovations: from 10 parking spaces → every fifth parking space with protective tubes

Investing early saves costs and avoids retrofitting obligations.

Sustainability and energy management

The sustainable operation of real estate is a central component of modern ESG strategies.
The reev energy management system distributes the available energy intelligently, prevents peak loads and ensures efficient operation.

The gradual construction and expansion of charging facilities is much more cost-efficient than retrofitting at a later date.

Systematic charging – intelligent solutions for commercial properties

With the reev Platform operators can centrally control all charging points, manage users and automatically bill charging processes.
The system is cloud-based, scalable and ideal for commercial locations – from office complexes to retail outlets and parking garages.

Conclusion: From duty to opportunity

Charging infrastructure is no longer an additional feature – it is a central component of future-proof commercial properties.
Those who invest today not only meet legal requirements, but also increase the value, sustainability and profitability of their properties.

With reev, charging points can be intelligently controlled, billed and managed – simply, digitally and scalably.
