Important note about the source
This guide uses a source that only covers court rulings on Wallbox installations in residential complexes. It contains no information on current funding programmes of individual states. For funding calls, we refer to the official state and federal bodies.
Which states currently fund Wallboxes for businesses?
This question cannot be answered from the available source. It lists neither programmes nor amounts for Bavaria, NRW, Hesse, Rhineland-Palatinate, Schleswig-Holstein, Baden-Württemberg or Lower Saxony.
Anyone seeking specific funding should check directly with the state ministries (the authorities of each state), the state development banks (banks that distribute money on behalf of the state) and KfW. Many calls are only open for a short time.
How high is Wallbox funding in Bavaria for businesses?
The source also contains no information on this. It mentions Munich and Stadtwerke München as a power supplier, but in connection with a rental dispute, not with funding for businesses.
For Wallbox funding for businesses in Bavaria, the state and KfW programmes are the first points of contact.
What conditions apply to Wallbox funding in NRW?
The available source says nothing about NRW. It contains no programmes, conditions or amounts for North Rhine-Westphalian businesses.
For NRW, we refer to the state's funding database and the KfW programmes for commercial charging infrastructure (the building of charging stations).
Are there new funding programmes in 2025/2026 in Hesse, RLP or Schleswig-Holstein?
The ADAC source shows nothing on this. It is dated 22.12.2025 and only covers disputes about installation in court.
Whether new programmes start in 2025 or 2026 must be checked directly with the ministries and development banks of the three states.
Can state funding and KfW/BAFA be combined?
The available source does not answer this question. It mentions neither KfW nor BAFA in connection with funding.
A combination is generally possible with many programmes, but often excluded. Technical term: double funding, this means you cannot receive money twice for the same thing. The exact rules are in each funding call.
Where can I find current funding calls for Baden-Württemberg and others?
The ADAC source contains no links to funding calls from the states. It only links to its own content and editorial pieces.
Good points of contact are the federal funding database, KfW and the state development banks (L-Bank in BW, NRW.BANK, WIBank in Hesse, ISB in RLP).
What do the ADAC rulings show about Wallbox installation?
The ADAC lawyers say they have collected eight rulings on Wallbox disputes. Two of them are particularly important for cost allocation.
Rental dispute in Munich: tenant gets their own Wallbox
A couple renting in a building with 200 flats wanted to install a Wallbox for around 1,600 to 1,700 euros on their own meter, according to ADAC. The landlord pointed to Stadtwerke München (one-off payment of 1,499 euros, monthly flat fee of 45 euros plus a tiered electricity flat fee, a flat rate that rises with consumption).
The Munich Regional Court ruled in favour of the tenants. A single extra Wallbox is reasonable; there is no right to equal treatment for all tenants (LG München, ruling of 23.6.2022, case no.: 31 S 12015/21).
Owners' association dispute in Lübeck: costs only among those requesting it
At an owners' meeting (a gathering of all flat owners), up to ten Wallbox connections were planned. Through a toleration resolution (a decision to allow something), all owners were to share the costs, according to the ADAC source.
The Lübeck Local Court overturned this part. Privileged structural changes (conversions allowed by law) such as Wallboxes must generally be paid for by the owners who request them. Where several owners request it, costs are split in proportion to their co-ownership shares (their fractions of the joint property), the court said.
What does this mean for funding applications?
The rulings concern housing, not commercial use. Still, they are worth a look: a Wallbox is not just any structural change, but a privileged one. Where several parties are entitled, each pays their share.
Anyone planning a Wallbox for their business should clarify before the funding application: who pays for the installation, who pays for the electricity, who pays for the maintenance? The exact state funding amounts are only available from the official bodies.
