What’s Required
Law 4710/2020 establishes Greece’s first comprehensive legal framework for electric mobility. It aims to accelerate the deployment of electric vehicles (EVs), charging infrastructure, and low-emission transport.
Key obligations include:
Requirements for new and renovated buildings to be pre-equipped for EV charging.
Obligations for public authorities to gradually electrify vehicle fleets.
Rules enabling the deployment of public and private EV charging infrastructure.
Incentive mechanisms supporting EV purchases, charging points, and shared mobility.
Integration of e-mobility into urban mobility and transport planning.
Important Deadlines
Building pre-equipment requirements apply progressively from 2021 onwards.
Public-sector fleet electrification targets apply through the 2020s.
EV charging infrastructure rollout aligned with national transport and energy plans.
Current Status
The law is in force and underpins Greece’s national e-mobility strategy. EV uptake remains moderate, but infrastructure deployment is accelerating, supported by incentives and EU funding.
Penalties for Non-Compliance
Administrative fines for failure to meet building or fleet obligations.
Refusal of building permits or occupancy approvals where charging requirements are not met.
Examples of Known Violations
Early enforcement has identified missing EV pre-equipment in new commercial developments.
Public bodies lagging behind fleet electrification targets have been flagged in audits.
