EV charging in Finland
An EV charging point is a fixed electrical installation, not a socket. In a housing company it needs a decision by the company and usually an electrical design covering the whole property.
Lämpöopas lists 31 companies across 17 cities, and 7 of them carry a Tukes register entry.
Company and city counts come from the Lämpöopas directory itself, checked 3 September 2026.
Who may install it
Connecting the system to the building’s electrical installation is electrical work: only an electrical contractor entered in the Tukes contractor register, with a named person in charge of electrical work, may do it. The register entry is public and can be checked before ordering.

The household tax credit is available only if the company that did the work was in the prepayment register at the moment the invoice was paid. If it was not, no credit is given at all — not even when the work was subcontracted to a registered company. Checking is the payer’s duty, and the register entry is public in YTJ.

Frequently asked questions
Can I claim the household tax credit on the installation?
Household tax credit: 35% of the labour share of a company invoice, up to €1,600 per person per year, with a €150 own share (Verohallinto, 10 February 2026). The government has proposed raising this to 40% and €2,100 for 2026–2027, retroactively from 1 January 2026 (HE 113/2026 vp, Eduskunta, 11 June 2026). Parliament has not passed the bill, and the tax administration still writes about it in the conditional (Verohallinto, 16 June 2026).
