In the revision of the EPBD, as part of the Clean Energy package, the Commission introduced requirements for charging infrastructure for electric vehicles. The proposal was somewhat unconventional in that it uses an energy directive to tackle a mobility related problem. The approach is justified since most vehicle charging will take place at home and in buildings, as is currently demonstrated by mature electromobility markets such as Norway. During subsequent discussions in the EU institutions, concerns were raised about the potential cost implications of the Commission's proposals. On the other hand, pre-tubing and pre-cabling for a percentage of parking spots in buildings during new constructions and major renovations can be considered a no-regrets approach, especially when comparing costs with subsequent installation after completion of a construction project. To understand the cost implications of various installation scenarios for charging infrastructure (pretubing, precabling, full installation during a construction project, subsequent installation without pretubing in an operating building), ECI commissioned Creara to map out the costs based on interviews with market actors. The main conclusions for the review are: * Full installation of charging stations is the most cost-effective option. * There is no significant cost difference between a pretubing or precabling scenario. * Installing a charging station in an operating building is about 10-15% more expensive than planning for it during a construction project. * Charging stations in non-residential buildings are more expensive than in residential buildings. * Cost for charging infrastructure differs significantly among countries, reflecting labour costs and market maturity.

A full installation requirement is the most attractive option for ECI, but
because of its initial bulk investment it will likely face opposition; pre-
cabling is the second option, although it has weak arguments in favor
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Starting point Step 2
OptionsViability
• European regulation
sets requirements
for charging
infrastructure in
residential and non-
residential buildings
Step 1
• Requirement of full
installation
Requirement of pre• -
installation
• Pre-tubing
• Pre-cabling
Most likely option based
on interview conclusions
Full installations require•
larger bulk investment
for building owners/
builders
Although it is the most-
efficient option in terms
of total costs
It seems to be a viable•
option for non-
residential buildings
Demand is expected to-
be higher and does not
depend on individual
owners and tenants
vehicle choices
• Full installation
requirements would be
the most attractive
option for copper
- It would imply higher
“assured” copper
demand in the
installations in the short
and medium term
- It would also push
transport electrification
by overcoming one of
its major barriers
(missing recharging
infrastructure)
• Pre-cabling is the
preferred option for pre-
installations, but
according to the
interviewees it is not a
sensible option
• Pre-cabling has few
arguments in favor
- It presents higher
investment costs than
pre-tubing (i.e. cable)
- According to most
interviewees pre-
cabling does not make
much sense because
it implies having idle
investment without
knowing if installation
adapts to later needs

The ECI should use favoring arguments to push for FI in non-residential
sectors; pre-cabling and pre-tubing in both sectors are the 2nd and 3rd
option, which are less attractive but still a step in the right direction

• Constructor (new building)1
• Medium to low (efforts should be
focused on non-residential

proposal (see slide 18))
Total cost is similar to pre• -tubing,
but pre-cabling requirement moves
part of the investment to an earlier
moment (i.e. laying of cable),
which could reduce barriers
Specifying the required capacity of•
the cable could lead to
standardization of certain aspects
of the charging infrastructure

Pre- -tubing does not represent
significant costs and can be
directly integrated in construction

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Strategy to
be adopted
by ECI
Non-residential Residential
Specifically, based on the conclusions presented in this presentation, the
ECI should support the EC proposal for the EPBD
• New and existing buildings
undergoing major renovation
- With more than ten parking
spaces
- One of every ten parking space is
equipped with a recharging point
- Obligation as of 2025
EC proposal
for EPBD
(Nov 2016)
New and existing buildings•
undergoing major renovation
With more than ten parking-
spaces
Pre- -cabling in every parking
space
Source: CREARA Analysis
• Support the option presented by
the EC by lobbying for its
approval in the regulation
process
- The option presented by the EC
could lead to the implementation
of a significant number of publicly
accessible charging infrastructure
(which has direct positive
implications for copper usage)
and thereby pushing EV market
update (which again is positive
for copper)
• Option presented by the EC for
the residential sector should be
supported as well
- The arguments are less strong
than in the non-residential sector
(pre-installation requires upfront
investment without assured
demand)
The ECI should push•
for the
implementation of
the EC proposal for
the new EPBD
instead of the
proposal presented
by the European
parliament which
reduces
requirements
significantly (see
slide 18)
Several arguments•
prepared exist for
this strategy based
on the conclusions
of the interviews and
research, as detailed
on the following
slides
Outline of strategy to be adopted by ECI based on EC proposal for EPBD

6. 6
The market (as concluded in the interviews) provides arguments for FI in
the non-residential sector, pre-cabling in residential buildings is not
supported though
According to the interviewees, pre• -installations generally do not make sense in operating buildings
There is no cost advantage in pre- -installing and owners and tenants would rather install a full installation once
there is a need
Note: ¹ Although data is homogeneous, it should be taken into account that the sample is a small sample of the total population
Source: CREARA Analysis
General
Operating
buildings
New
buildings
• Spain and France already have in place requirements for new buildings (FI in new non-residential in France,
and feeding installation in new non-residential and pre-tubing for new residential in Spain)
• In case of the pre-installations in new buildings (spaces for tubing and cabling), builders are including these
activities in their overall workplan and budget, they do not calculate separate costs
- Estimating the costs for pre-tubing and pre-cabling is therefore difficult
• Completing the installation in several phases is less efficient than building from scratch
- Installing a charging point from scratch is 9.1% - 12.4% cheaper in total costs (depending on the type of building
and the type of pre-installation) than starting from a pre-installation
- The largest cost element is the wallbox
• The difference between pre-tubing and pre-cabling is mainly the cost of the cable; the process of cabling is
simple and cheap once tubing is done; it only takes some minutes and the main cost are the cables
- There is no significant total cost difference between the two pre-installation options, the question is rather when
which part of the investment is made
• Generally few pre-installations are being completed at the moment and many interviewees were not aware of
the proposed directive being discussed in Brussels
- Pre-cabling is not usual nowadays because it implies extra costs without knowing if the installation will be used at
some point and if the cabling matches future demand requirements (e.g. charging speed)
- Spain is the only country known to require pre-tubing (in new residential buildings)
• Installations are generally connected to the electric meter which is placed on the ground or underground
floors in most of the cases

• The most efficient option from total
cost perspective is to do the full
installation from scratch
- This is true for both sectors and both
types of building
- The major saving is on labour
• Prices of pre-tubing and pre-cabling
are similar
• To install a wallbox in an operating
building is more expensive than to
install it in a new one
• The installation in the non-
residential sector is more expensive
than in the residential sector
- This can be explained by the higher
price of the wallbox and the need for
more materials and more labour
The full installation is the most efficient way to install a wallbox (from total
cost perspective); there are no significant differences in price between
pre-tubing and pre-cabling, which weakens arguments for pre-cabling

INTRODUCTION
The number of BEV has significantly increased in the last 3 years but they
still represent a limited share of vehicles sold; one of the main barriers is
the low availability of recharging infrastructure in European countries

• Up to now, BEV implementation has
been held back by three main barriers:
- High costs of vehicles
- Low level of consumer acceptance
(e.g. because of range anxiety)
- Lack of recharging stations
• The limited range (km which can be
covered with a fully charged battery) of
current EV models leads to range
anxiety of the potential users
- A problem that is worsened by the fact
that until now only a reduced number
of recharging infrastructure has been
installed
• All of the countries assessed have
different incentives for the EV and for
the installation of charging
infrastructures which aim at increasing
EV market uptake

LEGAL FRAMEWORK
The proposal for AFI Directive presented in January 2013 set an
obligation of recharging points for each Member State, although the final
AFI Directive did not include these concrete liabilities
AFI DIRECTIVE (extract)
Member States shall ensure, by means of their national•
policy frameworks, that an appropriate number of
recharging points accessible to the public are put in place
by 31 December 2020, in order to ensure that electric
vehicles can circulate at least in urban/suburban
agglomerations and other densely populated areas […]
PROPOSAL FOR AFI DIRECTIVE (extract)
• Member States shall ensure that a minimum number of
recharging points for electric vehicles are put into place, at
least the number given in the table in Annex II, by 31
December 2020 at the latest
• At least 10% of the recharging points shall be publicly
accessible

Total costs of different cases in alternative types of buildings
(average of analyzed countries1)
The most efficient option from total•
cost perspective is to do the full
installation from scratch
This is true for both sectors and both-
types of building
The major saving is on labour-
Prices of pre• -tubing and pre-cabling
are similar
To install a wallbox in an operating•
building is more expensive than to
install it in a new one
The• installation in the non-
residential sector is more expensive
than in the residential sector
This can be explained by the higher-
price of the wallbox and the need for
more materials and more labour
The full installation is the most efficient way to install a wallbox (from total
cost perspective); there are no significant differences in price between
pre-tubing and pre-cabling, which weakens arguments for pre-cabling

The significant dispersion in the European average for residential prices
is explained by the relatively low prices in Southern countries and NL and
the high prices in FR, DE and UK
The most usual power for residential charging•
in Europe is 3,7 kW (as indicated by interview
partners)
In Northern Europe, it is also possible to find-
residential charging of up to 11 kW
An increase in the contracted power is not•
necessary
The charging time is usually at night, when the-
electric consumption is low
Differences between countries explain the•
spread
Installation costs of a charging point are lower in-
Southern countries and the Netherlands, where
labor is cheaper and the market is more mature
respectively

Commercial buildings usually have enough grid-
connection capacity to face the additional
consumption from EV charging
There are countries such as Germany that do•
not allow a charging power capacity below 11
kW
In these countries, the installation is significantly-
more expensive due to the requirement of more
materials, more required labor hours and more

CONCLUSIONS
Note: ¹ Although data is homogeneous, it should be taken into account that the sample is a small sample of the total population
Source: CREARA Analysis
According to the interviewees, pre• -installations generally do not make sense in operating buildings
There is no cost advantage in pre- -installing and owners and tenants would rather install a full installation once
there is a need
General
Operating
buildings
New
buildings
• Spain and France already have in place requirements for new buildings (FI in new non-residential in France,
and feeding installation in new non-residential and pre-tubing for new residential in Spain)
• In case of the pre-installations in new buildings (spaces for tubing and cabling), builders are including these
activities in their overall workplan and budget, they do not calculate separate costs
- Estimating the costs for pre-tubing and pre-cabling is therefore difficult
• Completing the installation in several phases is less efficient than building from scratch
- Installing a charging point from scratch is 9.1% - 12.4% cheaper in total costs (depending on the type of building
and the type of pre-installation) than starting from a pre-installation
- The largest cost element is the wallbox
• The difference between pre-tubing and pre-cabling is mainly the cost of the cable; the process of cabling is
simple and cheap once tubing is done; it only takes some minutes and the main cost are the cables
- There is no significant total cost difference between the two pre-installation options, the question is rather when
which part of the investment is made
• Generally few pre-installations are being completed at the moment and many interviewees were not aware of
the proposed directive being discussed in Brussels
- Pre-cabling is not usual nowadays because it implies extra costs without knowing if the installation will be used at
some point and if the cabling matches future demand requirements (e.g. charging speed)
- Spain is the only country known to require pre-tubing (in new residential buildings)
• Installations are generally connected to the electric meter which is placed on the ground or underground
floors in most of the cases
