Hello everyone,
since I am not an expert in this field and want to avoid making mistakes, I would like to know your opinion.
We have purchased a newly built house from a developer, and currently the electrician is working on the property. A high-voltage connection is planned for the garage. However, an electric or hybrid car is not planned within the next 1-2 years. Does it make sense to have a wall box installed right away because of the current incentives? At least that is what the electrician suggested.
Or is just running the cable enough for now (is there any funding for that)? How would you proceed?
Thanks for your advice.

So far, I haven’t found any official confirmations online, but if that’s true, BAFA should have information available soon.

Just enter "Charging stations for electric vehicles – Residential buildings (440) - KFW" in your preferred search engine.... It’s official.

Do I receive the subsidy if I am building a new house?
You are only eligible for the subsidy for residential buildings that already exist. Specifically, this means that once you have moved in, a new house is considered an existing building – at that point, you can apply for the subsidy and order the charging station. We recommend installing empty conduits for future wiring during the construction phase.

How much does a wall box cost if you have it installed by an electrician?

The cable is already laid...

So, do you have to put the unit into operation immediately to qualify for the subsidy?

Because then you would also need a second meter, right?

We don’t have any electric cars yet and would like to save on the second meter FOR NOW.

For what purpose? Most devices already have legally verified meters built in.

This is stated in the FAQ of our network operator.
However, this really only becomes relevant if you want to subscribe to a second, cheaper tariff specifically for e-mobility.

Note: A second meter is necessary to benefit from lower grid charges for e-charging electricity.
