M Sverige report highlights charging gaps for EV tenants

A report from M Sverige reveals a significant gap in electric vehicle (EV) charging accessibility between different housing types in Sweden. According to the 2026 Large EV Survey, 25 percent of tenants who requested a charging station from their landlord were denied, compared to just over 10 percent in general multi-family housing.

While 87 percent of EV owners rely on home charging to maintain low operating costs, tenants face substantial hurdles. Despite legislation introduced in May 2026 granting tenants certain rights to request charging stations, many must cover the full installation and establishment costs themselves. Landlords may also deny requests by citing the availability of nearby public charging stations.

In contrast to the higher costs of public fast-charging, which can reach 5–6 SEK per kWh, home charging typically costs between 1–2 SEK per kWh. Smart charging solutions, such as those offered by go-e, allow homeowners to optimize these costs by scheduling charging during periods of low electricity prices or high solar production.
