Charging in a shared garage in Leeuwarden 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. For Leeuwarden we schedule the installation by arrangement on a fixed date, so we can finish it in one visit. 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.
We install charge points across the Netherlands. Send a photo of your meter cupboard and of where the car is parked, and you will have a fixed price within 24 hours; the work is scheduled by arrangement.
Question not answered here? Call or message us and we will think it through with you, free of charge.
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.
Often not. It can usually run through the association’s existing supply, provided the power is shared sensibly. We measure that before anything is ordered.
Reckon on the price of the unit plus €335 installation. The cheapest model we supply is €609 including VAT, so from roughly €944 you have a working installation. What it comes to in your case is in the quote beforehand.
Yes. Our EV charger page lists twelve models with prices so you can compare on power, certified meter and cable. We will also connect a unit you bought elsewhere.
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.
