EV charge point access agreements, coming to Wayline
The same structured process that works for telecoms wayleaves, adapted for EV charging installations. Launching Q4 2026.
EV charging in multi-tenanted buildings has an access problem
Installing charge points in a building's car park requires the same type of access agreement as telecoms: consent from the landlord, defined terms, insurance requirements, ongoing maintenance access, and revenue-sharing arrangements. But today, there's no standard process. Charge point operators negotiate bespoke agreements with every building, often through solicitors, with no consistency or efficiency.
What's different about EV wayleaves
| A telecoms wayleave | An EV wayleave | |
|---|---|---|
| Term | 5 years | 10 to 15 years |
| Revenue | Not a factor | A share of energy sales |
| Electrical capacity | Not a factor | Capacity and MPAN |
| Parking | Not a factor | Bay designation and usage rights |
| DNO | Not a factor | Distribution Network Operator approval |
| Electrical fire safety | Not a factor | Elevated requirements for the installation |
| Traffic management | Not a factor | During installation |
The Wayline approach
Wayline's EV wayleave module builds on the same core platform: building preferences, structured requests, AI-powered safety review, digital agreements, and automated fee collection. We're adding EV-specific features: electrical capacity assessment, parking bay designation, revenue-sharing terms, and DNO compliance documentation.
Who it's for
Charge point operators
Networks deploying to sites they do not own
Rolling out to car parks across a portfolio of buildings, one landlord at a time. Need consent per site and no standard way to get it.
Fleet and workplace operators
Employers, logistics, car clubs
Charging at a site they lease rather than own. The agreement is with the landlord, and the driver is their own staff.
Property owners installing for tenants
Landlords, managing agents, developers
In EV the building owner is often the party who wants the installation. Where the parking is demised or shared, they still need an access agreement to put it in.
