Hello
We are currently building a new house and want to prepare for a wallbox right from the start.
It needs to support company car billing with the employer (I always have a company car).
I have the Easee wallbox, which can be prepared with Easy Ready and then simply have the ChargeBerry plugged in later, so no electrician is needed afterwards.
Or should I have a red high-power socket (three-phase socket) installed in the garage and just plug in a mobile wallbox, for example, a Go E Charger wallbox, and then use it?
Is a cable for 11 kW sufficient?
I will also have an Ethernet cable laid to the wallbox.

Construction has not started yet (but it is a developer project), and the conversation with the electrician is still pending.
So, you would not install the wall box yet and only have the cable installed?
My idea was to have the electrician prepare everything now so that, for example, in one year I don’t have to call an electrician again and, above all, don’t have to look for one who would come just for one wall box (they are all fully booked).
Do I need to have a separate meter installed, or is it sufficient to have a wall box with an energy meter (MID compliant)?

In my opinion, fixed installations have been favored so far because they qualify for KfW funding. Mobile chargers do not.
If you decide to install a 32A outlet, make sure to tell the electrician that it is intended for a wallbox with a specific kW rating, so that everything—from the fuse, cable cross-section, to the circuit breaker—is dimensioned and protected accordingly!
I’m not sure how this works with company car expense claims. @Martial.white is right though—installing two appropriately sized empty conduits keeps all options open. Still, consider what kW your wallbox might have in the future so the network operator and distribution board can be planned accordingly.

Of course, I would tell the electrician so he can secure everything properly.
I believe the claims have expired and will probably not be renewed.
But regarding safety, it doesn’t matter which solution I choose, as long as the electrician has prepared everything accordingly.

Hi, we had Zappy myEnergi wallboxes installed for each parking space. (We were also lucky to receive substantial subsidies in connection with KfW40+ :p) In combination with the Zappy hub and Harvi, they offer the option to display the electricity consumed through the wallbox, separated by photovoltaic and grid power. When charging, it’s also possible to set the wallbox to use only surplus power (photovoltaic). The display and data retrieval should also work through the app, but our solar installer hasn’t managed to set this up yet (I can’t do it myself because I’m missing relevant data :rolleyes 🙂.
We had the cable sized by the electrician and then laid the cable ourselves from the breaker to the wallbox using a data cable (CAT7 direct burial cable). In the future, I would even recommend installing two data cables, as both a serial and a network connection might be necessary. We ordered the wallbox posts to match the wallboxes since there was no nearby wall suitable for mounting.

If the electrician has prepared everything for it Yes, many manufacturers also offer both versions, for example with the model from @Patricck: one with a plug and one without.
