Getting a home charging point for an electric car
Charging at home is the cheapest and most convenient way to drive electric. A safe installation, however, requires an electrical contractor, the right choice of power and, in a housing company, a decision by the board or the general meeting.
You will need
- Information on the building's main fuses and electricity connection
- Your electric car's charging power (from the vehicle details)
- A quote from an electrical contractor
- In a housing company, permission from the board or a decision by the general meeting
