Kadaster, the Dutch land registry, published research commissioned by ElaadNL on August 12, 2026: about 2.5 million homes across the Netherlands have space to place their own charge point. The study runs a per-parcel analysis of street-side space, road access and parking room, counting a driveway that could exist alongside one that already does, and reports results at neighbourhood and district level. Kadaster and ElaadNL plan to refresh it every two years.
The figure measures space, not suitability. Kadaster's own wording is room to place a charge point, one condition among several a homeowner still has to meet, not a verdict that home charging works for all 2.5 million addresses. Even read conservatively, it is a large number next to RVO's 2024 estimate of at least 667,000 home charge points already installed, nearly four times as many.
For municipalities and grid operators, the figure is a planning input: where private capacity for home charging exists, public charging investment can go elsewhere. For a homeowner or a housing association, the segment behind it is private AC wallboxes, where smart charging and load management run in software rather than in the charger itself. Plugchoice smart charging works the same way on any brand installed at these addresses.
