As businesses increasingly move towards electric vehicles (EVs) and sustainable transport solutions, securing suitable locations for EV charging stations has become essential.

Our expert solicitors at Moore Barlow can guide you seamlessly through option agreements to facilitate your EV charging infrastructure projects with confidence and clarity.

What is an option agreement for EV charging?

An option agreement gives developers or operators the legal right to secure land for future use as electric vehicle charging stations without immediately committing to a full acquisition or lease. This strategic agreement provides flexibility and agility, allowing parties valuable time to obtain planning permission, secure funding, and explore the commercial viability of the intended site.

Benefits of an EV charging station option agreement

Establishing an option agreement offers a range of valuable advantages for those developing EV charging infrastructure. One of the primary benefits is the ability to secure exclusive rights to acquire or lease the land within a predetermined time frame. This exclusivity ensures that no other party can proceed with the land during the option period, giving you a clear and uninterrupted opportunity to advance your project.

An option agreement also plays a key role in reducing risk. By allowing a period to assess the suitability of the site and secure the necessary planning permissions, it provides a buffer against premature investment in locations that may later prove unviable. This measured approach helps to protect your resources and supports more informed decision-making.

Additionally, the flexibility provided by an option agreement is particularly beneficial. It gives you time to secure planning approvals and confirm the overall feasibility of the project before making a full legal and financial commitment. This strategic breathing space can be crucial in ensuring your EV charging project is both commercially and practically sound.
