The growing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) is increasing the demand for workplace charging stations. In 2023, workplace charging sessions grew twice as fast as new installations, highlighting a gap between demand and supply. The rise in hybrid work schedules has shifted commuting patterns, concentrating EV charging from Tuesdays to Thursdays.
Workplace EV chargers contribute to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals, making them a strategic asset for attracting employees and tenants. The U.S. saw a 50% increase in EV sales last year, representing 9.2% of new light-duty vehicle sales. Projections indicate U.S. EV registrations will grow at an average rate of 40% annually over the next five years. Despite this, a revised forecast suggests a near-term slowdown with a 31% sales growth expected in 2024.
ChargePoint's data shows a surge in workplace charging activity, with a 64% increase in sessions and 57% more unique drivers year-over-year. However, the availability of charging ports hasn’t kept up with demand. The pandemic has changed commuting behaviors, with vehicle traffic returning to pre-pandemic levels but public transport usage at 71% of pre-pandemic levels.
CBRE's survey indicates that 30% of companies prefer offices with EV chargers, rising to 40% among large companies. While not sufficient alone to bring workers back to the office, EV charging stations can incentivize more frequent and longer office visits.

The analysis of ESO data reveals significant increases in electricity demand across cities, with Edinburgh and Glasgow showing the highest rise.

Community solar offers shared access to renewable energy, allowing property owners to reduce carbon emissions and electricity costs without the need for on-site installations. Incorporating community solar into commercial real estate strategies can create additional income streams and align with sustainability goals, benefiting both the environment and business interests.
The European Union is focused on climate change and energy efficiency in buildings, with CBRE analyzing how energy efficiency upgrades in multifamily housing can impact asset value. The analysis showed that transitioning to higher Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) ratings can increase asset value, but retrofit costs need to be considered against rental price benefits. Financial institutions may become more selective in refinancing assets not meeting energy efficiency standards, leading to potential asset stranding in the real estate industry.
