What a home charger needs
- A dedicated circuit from the fuse box to the charger, not shared with other appliances
- Suitable protection against overload and earth leakage. Check what your charger requires, some need extra protection against DC leakage current
- A cable route from the meter cupboard to the parking spot or wall
- Enough capacity in your connection for the charging power you want
1-phase or 3-phase?
The connection of your home determines how fast you can charge. A 1-phase connection with a 16 A circuit gives about 3.7 kW, and 32 A about 7.4 kW. A 3-phase connection with 16 A gives about 11 kW. A faster charger is only useful if your car can charge that fast and your connection can supply it. Not sure what you have? Look at the main fuses in your meter cupboard or send us a photo.
When the fuse box is full
A charger needs its own circuit. If your fuse box has no room or is old, we may need to extend or replace it. Use the fuse box price calculator for an indication, and see installing a new circuit.
Apartments and no private parking
If you live in an apartment, the owners' association usually has to agree to an installation in a shared garage or on shared property. If you have no private parking space, a home charger may not be possible. Ask your association or the municipality about alternatives.
