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.

Maybe one of the experts here can clarify something for me....
- had a heavy-duty cable installed during the house construction
- applied for funding
- ordered a wallbox around the turn of the year, which is expected to arrive this or next week, an Autoaid Intelligent Wallbox
So far, so good... now I had the idea to maybe have a second one installed.
Here comes my lack of knowledge. I would like to have one wallbox mounted in the carport, basically where the heavy-duty cable is already located. Now I imagine running a cable from the first box, going up underneath the carport roof, to the opposite side of the carport to supply a second wallbox there. Currently, both boxes do not charge simultaneously, and later I would make sure that they do not run at the same time.
For the second box, I was looking today at the cFos Power Brain, which according to their website works well together with the Autoaid wallbox. Presumably, this is related to the load management? Because both units apparently have this feature...
Is something like this possible?
Both would be rated for 2x11 kW and would need to be reported and approved by the utility company. However, if load management is in place, is it still necessary to report or get approval, if together they only ever draw a maximum of 11 kW?
Maybe I’m confusing some things here...
