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 requested a quote, which includes a wallbox (Wallbe 2.0s) from freundlichen. My personal cost after deducting the subsidy would be €300 (about $325).
Would you buy now or wait? Including installation and everything? Then what is there to wait for?
But the wallbox only supports 11kW, are you aware of that? For example, I have an Alfen model that can be upgraded via software to 22kW (officially for €30 (about $33)).

More wouldn’t be possible for us anyway, since the cable is 2.5mm (0.01 inches) instead of 6mm (0.24 inches) or 10mm (0.39 inches).
Ladies, I need some advice on an 11 kWh wallbox.
I don’t think my retired electrician has much knowledge about this, and since you have dealt with it more than I have, I would appreciate some suggestions. The cable is already installed in the carport, but the wallbox itself still needs to be connected and mounted.
The wallbox is not for the current electric car, which uses Type 1 and CHAdeMO connectors.
I briefly considered choosing a wallbox without a fixed cable, but that seems like a bad idea. Basically, I have a Type 2 to Type 1 charging cable, but I prefer to keep that inside the car.
Thanks!

Ladies, I could really use a tip for an 11 kWh wallbox, please.As far as I know, it doesn’t necessarily have to be an 11 kW charger to qualify for the subsidy. A throttled (adjustable) charger works just as well and prepares you better for the future.
My electrician is a big fan of the SMA 22.
Mennekes, Keba, Webasto, ABL…
Depending on your budget and desired features…
I have a Mennekes (22 kW). But the others are certainly not worse for residential use.
Keba is also very durable. The design just looks a bit outdated.
The question is whether you need a calibrated meter (e.g., for company billing or approval via RFID…). Once you have answered these points for yourself, there probably won’t be many options left anyway.
