LOM Law: your IRVE obligations have changed, Sparklin is here to guide you

LOM Law: what companies need to know (and do) since January 2025

Since 1 January 2025, legislation surrounding charging stations in businesses has changed. It is no longer just a trend, it has become a clear obligation for many organisations.

​

 

If you are a company with a car park, or if you manage commercial buildings, you are likely to be affected. But don't worry: it's not that complicated, especially when you have the right support.

But what is the LOM law?

The LOM is the Mobility Orientation Law, enacted in December 2019. It aims to modernise the way we travel, in particular by strongly encouraging the electrification of vehicles.

​​

In concrete terms? It requires companies and building managers to install charging infrastructure for electric vehicles.

What has changed in 2025

Since 1 January 2025, several requirements have come into force for non-residential buildings (offices, warehouses, shops, administrative buildings, etc.) with more than 20 parking spaces.

​​

You must now:

​​

  • Install at least one functional charging station

​

  • Pre-equip one space per 20 spaces (i.e., install the necessary conduits and cables)

​

  • Provide a charging station accessible to people with reduced mobility if you have more than 10 spaces

​​

This applies to both car parks for your employees and those for your customers or visitors.

But be careful: the obligations are not the same for everyone.

It all depends on when your building was constructed or renovated. Here is a simplified overview:

Obligations... subject to technical and economic conditions

All companies with a car park with more than 20 spaces will be affected from January 2025, even if their building is old. However, and this is important, the regulations include a feasibility clause for buildings that have already been constructed.

 

In practical terms, if the work required to install the charging stations or pre-equip the spaces is deemed too complex or too costly (e.g. complete upgrade of the electrical panel, underground excavation, etc.), you may be exempt.

 

The criterion used is as follows: The upstream adaptation work must not be more expensive than the downstream work.

 

This mainly concerns:

​​

  • Buildings constructed before 2017

​

  • Or located in urban areas with fewer than 50,000 inhabitants

What if you have a company fleet?

Another important point in the LOM law is that company fleets must gradually switch to electric vehicles.

 

Here are the mandatory quotas:

 

  • 20% electric vehicles in 2025

  • 40% in 2027

  • 70% in 2030

​

If you manage a fleet of more than 100 vehicles, these rules apply immediately. And of course, this requires a reliable, secure and supervised network of charging stations.
