Can't I just charge from a wall outlet ?
Sure you can -but it's slow. Even a car with a relatively small 50 kWh battery will take 18-20 hrs to charge. Forget about topping up overnight.

Can't I just charge from a wall outlet ?
How fast is an EV charger ?
Most chargers for home use (single-phas connection) are at 7.4 kW, which allows you to charge your car overnight. Chargers with 3-phase connection can go up to 22 kW and charge your batteries in just a few hours.
Which connection do I need ?
Most chargers have a Type 2 connection, currently the EU standard for 1-phas and 3-phase chargers alike.
Where should I install it ?
In your garage, or on the wall on your driveway -we can provide chargers for outdoor use.
What if I'm not the building owner ?
Then it's best to ask the landlord for permission before going ahead with the installation.
I live in an apartment building !
The rules for semi-public parkings in apartment buildings are somewhat different, and it's best to discuss the matter with your co-owners before going ahead. Of course, if you own the parking space you have the right to install your own charger, as long as you stick to the rules... it's still better to work out a uniform solution for everyone, though.
What's the functionality ?
That depends on what you need. A charger can be very simple -i.e. just plug in and charge. But if it's at a semi-public location you may want to consider securing it with key or RFID card access. Or perhaps you want access through Wifi for a complet overview of your usage data. The possibilities are endless, and we'll be happy to advise you.

Contact us by email and we'll do our best to help you!
Can I install it myself ?
Unless you're a trained electrician, we wouldn't recommend it... to much can go wrong.
How much does it cost ?
There's no simple answer. There are price differences between brands, and depending on functionality. And then there's the (variable) installation cost. Contact us for a clear offer.
Does it need maintenance ?
Not really. It's sufficient to check for mechanical damage from time to time, making sure the device itself as well as the cables are still in good condition. We recommend to have your charger checked once every year.
How much space do I need ?
Not much -I'm sure we'll find a suitable spot. And if there's no wall, we can provide a support pole.
What's the normal service life ?
There are little or no data about the service life span of EV chargers. All we can tell you is that most problems are related to external damage; there aro no moving parts, hence no obvious wear.
Do I need a permit ?
No, you don't. In certain cases however, e.g. if you're not the owner of the house, you may have to ask permission from other parties.
Does in have to be inspected and certified ?
Yes, like any other electrical installation in your home. But don't worry, we'll take care of that.
