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.

I’m bringing this up again...
The list is now out.
Since quite a few here are currently building or planning their house:
How are you handling this? Are you really just having empty conduits installed? Or is it possible to have the electrician do something else useful at the same time without losing any of the subsidy?

untergasse4326 Nov 2020 16:10I’m chiming in here, as this no longer applies only to new builds.
The regulations are fairly clear, but the wording in the information sheet is currently causing some discussions among colleagues:
Would you interpret this to mean that I
a) must own an electric vehicle?
b) must actively use the charging station? It’s clear to me that I am not allowed to sell it.
The background is that I would like to implement this now, but we realistically will not have an electric vehicle in the next 12 months. I cannot find anything in the information sheet about minimum charging amounts or similar requirements during that first year.
The regulations are fairly clear, but the wording in the information sheet is currently causing some discussions among colleagues:
Eligible for funding are only charging stations installed at parking spaces of a residential building and used exclusively for charging own or personally used electric vehicles according to § 2 No. 2 and 3 of the Electromobility Act (EMoG).
The funded charging station must be used for its intended purpose for at least one year from the date it is put into operation. The KfW is entitled to reclaim the grant if a funded charging station is sold within one year after commissioning.

From my legal understanding, you don’t have to own an electric vehicle or be required to use the charging station for one year (what would that even mean?).
The key point is that you don’t violate any regulations.
a) You are not operating a public charging station
and
b) You are not claiming a subsidy and then immediately selling the charging station afterwards.
It will be similar for me. The purchase of an electric vehicle will not happen before the installation of the charging station. I haven’t read anywhere that this is a requirement. Otherwise, it would be stated much more prominently and not hidden somewhere in these clauses.

I have a question regarding these 11kW wallboxes.
Since for 11kW you only need to notify the grid operator, I wanted to ask if anyone knows what the regulations are when installing two 11kW charging stations. Because I have two parking spaces in my garage, I want to equip both with a wallbox. It makes sense to have the electrician come once for both. ;-)

Maybe someone has information about this:
In the foreseeable future, I want to have a wallbox installed. Not on the facade, but I am thinking of a free-standing column. Not one of those very expensive ones from the wallbox manufacturers, but more like a homemade solution. Something that can be made by a metalworker. Nothing fancy, just a "column" with a plate where the wallbox is attached. Then somehow fixed to the ground. (How?) Does anyone have an idea of what something like this costs (meaning the column)?
Thanks
