With the boom in electromobility, the demand for private charging options is also growing. More and more owners want to charge their electric car conveniently and safely at home - ideally overnight, at low rates and with self-generated electricity. But what options are there and what needs to be considered during installation?
Wallbox instead of household socket
The installation of a wallbox is recommended for regular charging. It is safer, faster and more efficient than a normal socket. Depending on the model, charging capacities of between 3.7 and 22 kilowatts can be achieved. Most e-cars can be fully charged overnight - without overloading the power grid.
Technical and legal requirements
Before installation, a specialist company should check whether the house connection is sufficiently dimensioned and how the pipe can be routed. Homeowners' associations usually require the consent of the other parties - however, according to the WEG reform, they are no longer allowed to refuse in principle. The grid operator must also be informed, especially for wallboxes over 11 kW.
Smart systems for greater efficiency
Many modern wallboxes can be integrated into a smart home. This means that charging processes can be started automatically when particularly cheap electricity is available - for example, through your own photovoltaic system or dynamic electricity tariffs. The charging power can also be flexibly adjusted and prioritized if several vehicles are connected.
Conclusion
Having your own charging facility makes e-mobility convenient and economical. Installing a wallbox and combining it with solar power if necessary reduces operating costs and increases the value of the property. Professional planning is essential.
