The costs of installation

The plan places primary responsibility for investments in construction and energy-efficiency of rental housing on the public and property-owner side, not on the individual resident, and demands that tenants have strong support in legislation. Placing the entire economic risk for a charging installation as a lump sum on the resident excludes those with small margins. The plan also establishes that it is politics', not the individual's, responsibility to make climate-smart choices possible and affordable.

• investment responsibility with the publicdecisive»Staten behöver ta huvudansvaret för att stärka investeringarna i byggande, upprustning och energieffektivisering av hyresbostäder.« (party programme ↗)“The state needs to take main responsibility for strengthening investments in construction, renovation and energy-efficiency of rental housing.”
• strong tenant protection»Hyresgäster behöver ett starkt stöd i lagstiftningen för att tillsammans stå starka och försvara sina intressen.« (party programme ↗)“Tenants need strong support in legislation to stand together strongly and defend their interests.”
• politics' responsibility for climate choices»Det är politikens, och inte individens, ansvar att skapa möjligheter för människor att välja enkla och billiga klimatsmarta alternativ.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“It is the responsibility of politics, not the individual, to create opportunities for people to choose simple and cheap climate-smart alternatives.”
• electrification of transport»Vi vill se en sammanhållen strategi för elektrifiering av transporterna, där stadsplanering, kollektivtrafik och elfordon alla har viktiga roller att spela.« (party programme ↗)“We want to see a coherent strategy for electrification of transport, where urban planning, public transport and electric vehicles all have important roles to play.”

The plan takes no explicit position on what the committee actually decided — often because the committee's reason was procedural. The stance is derived and fully cited, but it does not show the party broke a commitment.

The party programme requires economic and practical opportunities for transition for everyone regardless of their own resources, and that those with greater opportunities go first and take greater responsibility. The counter-proposal wants to place the investment on the property owner and let the resident pay a reasonable, time-apportioned share, which is precisely such a distribution. The election manifesto's promise of more charging points and support for property owner measures points in the same direction.

• those with stronger shoulders take greater responsibility»De som har större möjligheter att ställa om går före och tar större ansvar.« (party programme ↗)“Those who have greater opportunities to transition go first and take greater responsibility.”
• more charging points»Vi vill dubbla antalet laddstolpar till 2030 för att underlätta för den som har elbil.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We want to double the number of charging points by 2030 to make it easier for those who have an electric car.”
• property owner's role»Vi vill underlätta för fastighetsägare att vidta åtgärder för att spara energi i flerfamiljshus.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We want to make it easier for property owners to take measures to save energy in multi-family buildings.”

The plan wants to strengthen conditions for electric vehicles through targeted support and expanded charging infrastructure throughout the country, and states that sustainable alternatives should become cheaper so that it is easy to do the right thing. The Greens additionally believe that it is unreasonable for the cost of necessary upgrades to be borne by residents. The counter-proposal's requirement that the property owner makes the investment while the resident pays a reasonable, time-proportioned share thus follows the plan's line.

• expanded charging infrastructure with supportdecisive»Förutsättningarna för elbilar behöver stärkas genom riktat stöd och en utbyggd laddinfrastruktur i hela landet.« (party programme ↗)“The conditions for electric vehicles need to be strengthened through targeted support and expanded charging infrastructure throughout the country.”
• costs should not be borne by residents»Det är orimligt att kostnaden för nödvändiga upprustningar läggs på hyresgäster i områden där inkomsterna ofta är lägre« (party programme ↗)“It is unreasonable that the cost of necessary upgrades is borne by tenants in areas where incomes are often lower”
• public responsibility for charging»investera i laddning i hela landet — staten ska ta ansvar där marknaden inte räcker till« (2022 manifesto ↗)“invest in charging throughout the country — the state should take responsibility where the market is insufficient”
• sustainable choices should be cheaper»Miljöpartiet vill driva en politik som gör att de hållbara alternativen blir billigare och att det är lätt att göra rätt.« (party programme ↗)“The Greens want to pursue a policy that makes sustainable alternatives cheaper and makes it easy to do the right thing.”

The plan's path to cheap charging in multi-family housing goes via a broadened and scaled-up green deduction and regulatory simplifications, not via the legislator shifting investment responsibility to the property owner. Ownership is central to the plan and arbitrary interference in ownership is rejected. The counter-proposal's demand that the property owner should implement and negotiate the investment against a time-apportioned charge from the resident therefore lacks support in the documents, although the goal of more charging points is shared.

• green deduction for chargingdecisive»Det ska vara enkelt och billigt att installera solpaneler, bygga laddning till elbilar och minska energianvändningen hemma — vare sig man bor i hus eller lägenhet. Det kan vi lösa genom att bredda och skala upp det gröna avdraget« (2022 manifesto ↗)“It shall be easy and cheap to install solar panels, build charging for electric cars and reduce energy use at home — whether one lives in a house or a flat. We can solve this by broadening and scaling up the green deduction”
• central ownership»Äganderätten är central för ett samhälle där människor kan förverkliga sig själva och sina drömmar.« (party programme ↗)“Ownership is central to a society where people can realise themselves and their dreams.”
• strengthened ownership»Vi vill stärka bland annat äganderätten, diskrimineringsförbudet, minoritetsskyddet och minoritetsspråkens ställning« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We want to strengthen among other things ownership, the non-discrimination ban, minority protection and the status of minority languages”
• promote electric cars and charging points»Elbilarna ska främjas med hjälp av fler laddplatser, differentierade trängselskatter som gynnar miljöbilar och bättre parkeringsmöjligheter.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Electric cars shall be promoted with the help of more charging points, differentiated congestion charges that favour environment-friendly cars and better parking possibilities.”

The plan is based on laws and rules safeguarding property rights and that conditions in housing should primarily be agreed between parties, not loaded onto the property owner through legislated investment obligation. To shift the entire investment to the property owner and legislate about a time-apportioned share for the resident therefore goes against the plan. Simultaneously the plan wants to see charging points where we live, which gives some support to the counter-proposal's purpose.

• protected property rightsdecisive»regler ska slå vakt om äganderätt, konkurrens på lika villkor, rättssäkerhet« (party programme ↗)“rules shall safeguard property rights, competition on equal terms, legal security”
• freedom of contract between parties»För att få upp byggandet av fler hyresrätter och korta köerna vill vi kombinera ett starkt besittningsskydd med att hyran i nybyggda hyresrätter ska få avtalas fritt mellan hyresvärd och hyresgäst.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“To increase building of more rental apartments and shorten queues we want to combine strong occupancy protection with rental rates in newly built rental apartments being able to be freely agreed between landlord and tenant.”
• economic freedom»Det liberala samhället förutsätter ekonomisk frihet.« (party programme ↗)“The liberal society presupposes economic freedom.”
• charging infrastructure in housing»Det behövs laddstolpar där vi bor, arbetar och reser.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“There is a need for charging points where we live, work and travel.”

The plan requires that residents have real opportunities to influence their housing costs through co-responsibility and influence, and that low-wage families with children, pensioners and students are given opportunity for good housing standard. A one-time cost that deters those with narrow margins counteracts this. The counter-proposal's model simultaneously satisfies the plan's requirement that the property owner is paid for investments made, since the cost is distributed over time.

• residents' influence over costsdecisive»möjligheter att påverka sin boendemiljö och sina boendekostnader genom medansvar och« (party programme ↗)“opportunities to influence their housing environment and their housing costs through co-responsibility and”

The plan gives ownership and business freedom strong protection and states that state and municipality may never act carelessly toward individuals' property. Moving the investment and economic risk for the charging point from the resident to the property owner is precisely such a burden. The plan wants to improve access to charging stations, but through expansion rather than through redistributed cost responsibility.

• strong protection for ownershipdecisive»Äganderätten och näringsfriheten ska ha ett starkt skydd i« (party programme ↗)“Ownership and business freedom shall have strong protection in”
• care toward private property»Stat och kommun får aldrig agera« (party programme ↗)“State and municipality may never act”
• expanded charging infrastructure»Förbättra tillgången på laddstationer för elbilar« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Improve access to charging stations for electric cars”
• market-based housing conditions»Möjliggöra mer rättvisa hyror genom att potentiella hyresgästers värdering av boendet ges större vikt« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Enable fairer rents by giving potential tenants' valuation of the accommodation greater weight”

The plan wants to strengthen property rights and curb housing costs, which speaks against shifting the investment and economic risk for the charging point to the property owner where it is ultimately borne by all residents. The plan also explicitly opposes those who cannot afford an electric car having to pay for those who can. The plan embraces expanded charging infrastructure but says nothing about how the installation cost should be distributed, which is why the conclusion is derived.

• no one should subsidize electric car ownersdecisive»De flesta har inte råd att köpa en ny bil, men tvingas samtidigt betala för skattesubventioner för dem som har råd att köpa dyra elbilar« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Most do not have the means to buy a new car, but are forced at the same time to pay tax subsidies for those who can afford to buy expensive electric cars”
