1. Private parking is becoming more valuable than ever

A parking spot used to be a convenience.
For EV drivers, it is now non-negotiable.

Properties with:

• private parking spaces,

• accessible wiring routes for chargers,

• modern electrical capacity,

command noticeably higher rents and sale prices.

In several Athens districts, the premium reaches +10% to +15%.

2. New buildings are now designed “EV-Ready”

Post-2024 developments increasingly include:

• electrical capacity for multiple chargers,

• pre-installed conduits to each parking bay,

• smart load-management systems,

• independent metering for EV charging.

This makes new builds significantly more competitive than older buildings from 1970–2000.

3. Older apartment buildings face major technical challenges

For older blocks:

• electrical panels may be insufficient,

• new wiring must be added,

• common-area approvals are required,

• total load may need reinforcement.

This creates a structural disadvantage — but also an investment opportunity:

Buyers who upgrade old apartments to EV-ready status can capture a meaningful resale premium.

4. EV-driving tenants pay more — and rent faster

Rapidly growing segments of renters now actively search for:

• private parking,

• buildings that allow charger installation,

• new developments with built-in EV infrastructure.

Data from early market studies indicates that EV-friendly apartments rent 15–20% faster and often achieve 5–10% higher rents.

5. Municipal regulations and incentives will accelerate the shift

By 2030, expect:

• designated EV charging zones,

• incentives for charger installation,

• zoning updates,

• building code requirements for multi-charger capacity.

As regulations tighten, properties already equipped for charging will gain a clear, lasting advantage.

6. Developers are investing in “electric-ready” residential projects

Modern developers increasingly include:

• one charger per two parking spaces,

• ready-to-activate conduit networks,

• options for slow and fast chargers,

• sustainable building certifications.

Boutique developments by companies like Poli Real Estate are already integrating EV-ready design as a standard feature, not a luxury.

7. Investors see dual returns: rental advantage + resale appreciation

As EV adoption grows, the financial benefits multiply:

• stronger rental demand,

• higher rent levels,

• better tenant profiles,

• increased resale value.

EV-ready apartments are effectively becoming a new premium asset class.

Conclusion: Electric mobility is reshaping residential real estate — and creating new winners

The rise of electric vehicles is transforming:

• buyer expectations,

• building standards,

• renovation priorities,

• long-term investment strategies.

Properties with private parking and EV-ready infrastructure will be the big winners of the next decade — commanding higher demand, higher yields, and superior capital appreciation.
