ᐅ Which Wallbox? Preparing for a New Build

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.

Without a plug, it was suitable for shipping, but with a plug it was not, although this is no longer an issue in private construction.
E-go is probably the original manufacturer; Fronius has rebranded it and modified the firmware. It also requires an additional cable.

The Go-e charger does not have a MID-compliant, calibrated meter. However, the tax office requires exactly such a meter for billing purposes.

Why? And what does the tax office have to do with your employer reimbursing your expenses (either through a leasing company or directly)? The tax office couldn’t care less. Yes, I know about this because I also use—or have to use—a non-calibrated charging station.

As far as certified measurement is concerned, I currently don’t know of any real wall boxes that can do that.

However, this was not required in this case.

Alfen Eve Single Pro-Line, for example – it can do that, but it was too expensive for me, and as I said, compliance with meter calibration regulations is not necessary.

Because without some kind of certified meter, you cannot provide proper invoicing, and the employer might reimburse you more than you actually spend without either of you paying taxes or fees on the excess.

In my opinion, the meter must be certified, at least according to MID (Measuring Instruments Directive).

I don’t do any billing at all. So taxes and things like that don’t interest me anyway. You just hold the RFID chip to the box to start charging. Unplug or hold the RFID chip again to end the charging process. The electricity consumed is reported online, and once a month I receive an invoice from the service provider.
It also doesn’t differentiate between photovoltaic power and grid electricity.

MID yes, otherwise you’re mistaken. You don’t need a calibrated meter.
