Is a charging box a usual installation in a house or not? The Supreme Court must now decide that for a married couple from Fredericia.
They have already lost in the High Court. But now they have been given a so-called free process to take their case about accessories for an electric car all the way to the High Court.
Specifically, the matter concerns whether a charging stand for a hybrid at a detached house is usual equipment or not.
The High Court does not think so. But now Denmark's highest court must look at the case and come up with a final decision.
Ritzau writes that.

According to the housing association, which owns the home in which the couple lives, the installation is illegal because it goes against the housing association's own rules. The charging stand is therefore set up illegally.
In the Residents' Complaints Board, where the case was first dealt with, however, the case came out in favor of the tenants. Because charging stations are considered widespread in society.
But both the city and county courts side with the landlord, because parking must take place in marked stalls. And since the car is stationary during charging, it must also be done in a booth. The charging stand was not at a booth.
In addition, the high court believes that the spread of charging points has no bearing on whether this kind of thing should be allowed for tenants or not.
So now the married couple must take down the charging box. Just as they must pay more than DKK 32,000 in court costs, if the Supreme Court agrees with the High Court.
Speaking of charging stations, the Danish car importers' interest organization Mobility Denmark will push through a radical proposal for the benefit of electric car owners in Denmark. Read more about it here .
