Charging in a shared garage in Diemen takes more than hanging one unit on the wall. The power comes from the building’s own installation, so the question is who pays for what and what that installation can carry. We are about 20 minutes away from our base in Haarlem. We would rather come once and do it properly than twice and do it halfway, so we go through the situation beforehand.
The shared infrastructure usually comes out of the association’s funds; the charge point itself is paid for by the resident using it. Setting that out beforehand avoids arguments later, and we put it in the quote that way.
An enclosed car park brings stricter requirements for cabling and for where the distribution board sits. We take that into account and record what has been installed, so the association can show it at an inspection.
If your unit stands idle most of the day and can be reached from the street, you can make it available to other drivers and receive a fee per kWh delivered. That does need a certified meter and OCPP support.
If you have solar panels, we set the unit to give priority to what you are generating at that moment. Your surplus then goes into the car instead of onto the grid at a low rate.
Charging runs for hours at full power. That does not belong on a shared circuit but on its own, with the right type of residual current device. We run it from the meter cupboard and label it, so it is clear later what sits where.
Send a photo of your meter cupboard and of where the car is parked, and you will have a fixed price for unit and installation together within 24 hours.

Yes, if the distribution is prepared for it. We lay it out so that extending later is a matter of adding a point, not starting over. That saves the association a considerable amount in the long run.
The charge point stays and passes to the new resident, or is switched off until someone takes it over. Because each point has its own meter, settling up on the day of transfer is straightforward.
That is Liander. If your supply turns out to be too light, we prepare the meter cupboard and file the application on your behalf, so you do not have to chase it.
There is no national subsidy for a home charging point. Some municipalities and employers do have a scheme, and there are tax options for business use. We do not know your situation, so check with your municipality or accountant.
Tell us which car you drive and where it is parked, and we will recommend a model that suits your supply. Available on working days from 08:30 to 17:00, and outside those hours for emergencies.
