The scope of EN 14982 says: "... This International Standard specifies test methods and acceptance criteria for evaluating the electromagnetic compatibility of tractors and all kinds of mobile (including hand-held) agricultural machinery, forestry machinery, landscaping and gardening machinery...
... This International Standard is not applicable to machines directly supplied with low voltage current >from public electrical mains...." On which basis, it would apply to the equipment you describe, even where it is intended for domestic use. However, the charging station would need to comply with EN 55014. Personally, I'd be inclined to try to meet the most stringent requirements from both standards, and only start looking at the scope of the standards in detail once I knew I had a problem which was going to be difficult or expensive to solve by any other means.
