Installing a charge point in IJmuiden starts at your meter cupboard, not at the unit. What your supply can carry decides which model makes sense and how fast you will actually charge. We work that out first and then give you a fixed price. We are about 10 minutes away from our base in Haarlem. We work to NEN 1010 and hand over with a test report, even for a single charge point.
On an average supply, charging while the oven and the washing machine run can trip the main fuse. With load balancing the unit measures household consumption and adjusts its output. If an upgrade does turn out to be needed, we file the application with Liander.
We start at the board: is there room for a circuit, is there residual current protection, and what can the main fuse take. If the board turns out to be full, you hear that before you order a unit, not when we are already at the door.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Not necessarily. With load balancing a charger works fine on one phase, it just charges more slowly. For overnight charging that is more than enough. We calculate whether upgrading pays off in your case.
The weakest link decides: your supply, the unit, or the charger built into the car. Many cars take a maximum of 7.4 kW on one phase, even on a unit that can do more. We work out what you will really get.
For basic charging, no. For load balancing, remote settings or billing per user, yes. We check whether the signal reaches the unit and use a wired connection where it does not.
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.
