Contact our teamThe growing popularity and necessity of electric vehicles (EVs) is driving increased demand for convenient, accessible charging points.
Landowners and businesses across the UK can capitalise on this by putting in place carefully structured lease agreements tailored specifically for EV charging stations. This is where Moore Barlow and our expert team can help you and your business.
What is an EV charging agreement?
An Agreement for Lease for EV charging is a legal document that sets out the intention of both the landowner and the EV charging operator to enter into a formal lease once certain pre-conditions are met. These pre-conditions typically include securing planning permission, obtaining grid connection approval, and completing technical surveys. The agreement outlines the key lease terms in advance—such as the length of the lease, rent or revenue share, and access rights—providing both parties with certainty and a framework to move forward with the project.
This type of agreement is particularly useful in EV charging developments, where operators need to secure land rights before investing in infrastructure. It gives operators confidence to progress with planning and regulatory steps, knowing they will have the legal right to lease the land once conditions are satisfied. For landowners, it provides a structured pathway to granting a lease, while ensuring that development proceeds responsibly and in line with agreed terms.
