Charging your electric car at home – Wallbox solutions and smart charging
Charging with your own wallbox is faster and safer than using a household socket. Thanks to wallbox subsidies in Germany, private charging points can receive financial support through regional programs or municipal grants. You'll save the most money if you charge your e-car with solar power, which significantly increases your independence from the public electricity market.
Smart Charging Strategies
A core advantage of modern systems is e-car surplus charging with PV. Here, the vehicle is only charged with the electricity that is not currently needed in the household. Additionally, a special wallbox electricity tariff can help reduce the costs for the necessary remaining electricity purchase, as e-cars require significant amounts of energy with a consumption of 15 to 20 kWh per 100 km.
Installation and Fleet Management
Inform yourself early about the costs and requirements for wallbox installation, which, including assembly, usually range between €1,000 and €3,000. For households with more than one electric vehicle, intelligent wallbox load management is essential to avoid overloading the house connection during simultaneous charging processes.
