Non-public charging infrastructure for electric vehicles in Bavaria

No, you have to wait until you receive the funding decision. Only offers may be obtained and plans drawn up. No commissions, orders or procurements may be placed before receipt of the positive funding decision.

Any premature commencement of measures is ineligible for funding. All commissions, orders or procurements prior to receipt of the positive funding decision and outside the "set-up period" specified in the funding decision cannot be funded. The automatic confirmation of receipt of the application does not constitute a funding commitment or funding notification.

Under this funding program, only electric vehicle charging points that are not publicly accessible are eligible for funding. With regard to the Charging Point Ordinance, the project sponsor is guided by the fact that the charging point user must be known to the funding recipient by name or in person with regard to their business activity. This must be specified by means of appropriate signage at the respective funding point.

For the funding item "2.2.2 Municipal stores", municipalities and their own enterprises are eligible to apply in the non-commercial sector. For the other funding objects (2.2.1, 2.2.3 and 2.2.4), municipalities and their own companies are only eligible to apply in the commercial area.

Components purchased or services commissioned before the application is submitted are no longer eligible for funding.

As most of the requirements are already specified in the application form, we expect processing to be relatively quick. Depending on the current volume of applications, we try to send out the notifications within a few weeks of receiving the signed application by post.

• Only the online application is sufficient for the application. No additional documents need to be uploaded.
• The upload option only becomes relevant after the charging points have been installed or commissioned to document the costs incurred or as proof of implementation.
• However, please do not forget to print out the online application, sign it and send it to us as a paper version.

• For newcomers from the tourism sector to the topic of charging infrastructure, we offer a guide "Electric mobility in tourism" on this page under DOWNLOADS (for the first funding item: charging at tourist businesses)
• For local authorities getting started with charging infrastructure, we offer important information on this page: Electromobility in Bavarian municipalities
• For companies, we offer important information on this page: Electromobility in companies

• Initially, no commission or order may be placed before receipt of the funding decision.
• The project must be completed and settled by December 31, 2023, i.e. charging points must be installed and the proof of use submitted. If this is not possible for unforeseeable reasons for which the applicant is not responsible, we strongly recommend timely coordination with the project sponsor.
• Once the charging points have been commissioned, they must remain the property of the grant recipient for at least twelve months and be operated in accordance with the guidelines. After one year, a short report on the use of the charging points is due. The project sponsor will provide a document template for this purpose.

Yes, but a grid connection with green electricity will usually be necessary because a PV system cannot guarantee the required green electricity supply at all times (i.e. independent of time and weather conditions). This also applies if stationary buffer storage systems are used, as these are usually far too small to fully charge an electric car.

The funding guideline does not specify any requirements for funding items 2.2.1 "Charging at tourist businesses", 2.2.2 "Municipal charging" and 2.2.4 "Charging company vehicles at employees' homes". In the funding object 2.2.3 "Fleet charging ("mixed fleet use")" different charging requirements are assumed. Therefore, the "combination of normal and fast charging points" is funded, i.e. at least one charging point with max. 22 kW and one charging point with more than 22 kW charging power.

No. Only costs that can be documented by an official invoice will be funded. An internal cost statement or similar will not be accepted.

As long as the use of the electric car charging points (Type 2 or CCS) is not impaired by other charging processes, charging devices with additional plug systems are also eligible for funding. However, the funding amount relates to the number of electric car charging points (Type 2 or CCS) in accordance with the Charging Column Ordinance.

As many applicants still have a gray electricity contract and are bound by deadlines, the project sponsor defines the installation in 2022 as the conversion phase. A corresponding green electricity contract would therefore have to be in place at the latest after commissioning of the charging points or from 01.01.2023.

In the non-commercial sector, municipalities can apply for up to a maximum of 9 charging points in total under "2.2.2 Municipal charging", regardless of the charging location (e.g. 9 charging locations with one charging point each or one charging location with 9 charging points).

Own companies are classified as part of a municipality and therefore also fall under the overall upper limit of max. 9 charging points.

In the commercially active sector, the same requirements apply for municipalities as for other applicants.

• Local authorities (e.g. municipality or local authority)
• Legally dependent municipal enterprises of local authorities
• Municipal associations (e.g. district or county)
• special-purpose associations

Yes.

The subsidized charging points are primarily intended for charging electric company vehicles or the company's vehicle fleet. Private e-vehicles belonging to employees may only be charged if this is done to a lesser extent and the charging of the e-commercial vehicles or vehicle fleet is not impaired as a result.

A company's vehicles that can be used by third parties and regularly return to the charging location (e.g. e-sharing or e-rental vehicles) are considered a vehicle fleet. For this purpose, charging points can be applied for via "2.2.3 Fleet charging ("mixed fleet use").

As the project sponsor, we are guided by the Electric Mobility Act and classify PHEVs as electric vehicles if they can be driven at least 40 km purely electrically.

The guideline promotes charging points for employees if they are employed by the applicant and subject to social security contributions and regularly charge a company or company car (e.g. a service vehicle) at home.

A mere declaration of intent to purchase an electric service vehicle is not sufficient. An electric service vehicle or at least a corresponding vehicle order must already exist.

The charging points funded under "2.2.4 Charging company vehicles at employees' homes" are primarily intended for charging electric company vehicles. Employees' private e-vehicles may only be charged if this is done to a lesser extent and does not impair the charging of the company e-vehicle.

Yes, all charging points that are set up as part of this funding program must be operated exclusively with green electricity.

In principle, the employer (beneficiary) submits an application for its employees who are subject to social security contributions. Bavarian companies or companies that have at least one branch or company headquarters in Bavaria are eligible to apply.
