Choosing the wallbox for the new building

Still, only submit the funding application after moving in and only commission the electrician after approval, then the state will add another €900. If you have it done now, there will be no funding because it is a new construction project.

Thank you, but we have been living in the house for several years already. ;)

Depends on what you want to do with it. Simply pumping electricity from the grid into the car or extensive evaluations, smart charging with photovoltaics and storage, or other fancy things.

[Schwiegerelterns] had two Heidelberg Energy Control installed. Since there was still a 32 A CEE socket free in the garage, the whole thing was almost cost-neutral with subsidies and works flawlessly. Charges green electricity from the grid and looks good doing it.

Personally, I find the Easee and OpenWB quite exciting for our little project.

To my knowledge, the Zappi can automatically regulate based on the surplus fed into the grid. However, I don't know how that works with two boxes. Alternatively, a wallbox with direct communication with the inverter of your photovoltaic system could be an option. If you already have a 70% soft regulation there, you don't need the measurement points of the Zappi and can retrieve the data from the inverter. Ultimately, it's also a question of availability. But you have time.

I'm now one step further:

V2H (Vehicle-to-Home, i.e., bidirectional charging) is obviously extremely interesting for me as a photovoltaic owner without a battery storage system. Unfortunately, this is still in its infancy, and the few wall boxes that support it cost a small fortune (from what I've read, starting at €5,000). Since we won't be using the charging stations for at least 2 to 3 years anyway, I will now forgo additional features and install the cheapest eligible charging stations to take advantage of the subsidy.

If the whole topic becomes market-ready in a few years, it should be relatively easy to retrofit.

I think this makes more sense for our scenario than paying several hundred euros extra now for features that I don't use yet and that will eventually become outdated.

I see it the same way. Currently, I would choose the cheapest solution that meets the minimum requirements. V2H also has to be supported by cars first, and to my knowledge, that is still a long way off.
