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.

An 11kW wallbox is sufficient. 22kW is more than necessary. The standard connector for all electric cars is Type 2.
Fast chargers use different connectors (mostly CHAdeMO) but are DC, so they are generally not relevant for private use.
There are also wallboxes without an attached cable but with a socket instead. This allows you to use different cables.
However, you can charge at any wallbox.

nordanney1 Oct 2020 08:55P.S. I will order an Eve Single Pro-line with 11kW (11.7 hp), as my employer can bill the electricity I use to charge my company vehicle through it.

I agree with you, but if possible, always install 22 kW. It costs almost the same, and you have double the charging speed if needed. Batteries keep getting bigger, and future vehicles in the premium segment will likely all include 22 kW chargers as an option.
If you only plan to charge overnight, then an 11 kW charger will probably be sufficient in many cases.
