Promotion of e-mobility for new construction

Not the very expensive ones from the wall box manufacturers but rather something like a DIY version. Something you can get from a metalworker. Nothing fancy, a “pillar“ with a plate where the WB is attached. Then somehow fix it in the ground. (How?) Does anyone have an idea what something like that costs (meaning the “pillar“).

Either go to a metalworker or order directly online (see example) and attach it to a concrete foundation. It definitely won’t be cheaper with the metalworker, more likely more expensive.

yeah, that's the kind of thing. I have no idea what a metalworker would charge for something like that. I'll tackle it next week.

I just talked to a colleague who now wants to have a Wallbox installed at his existing property. What he plans:

2x e go homefix for about 650 euros each.
Total: 1300 euros.
For each, he applies for the 900 euro subsidy.
Total: 1800 euros.
That means he now only has to find an electrician who installs both for a total of 500 euros.
Since the costs do not increase linearly with each additional Wallbox, the chances of breaking even are much better than trying to have a single Wallbox installed for 250 euros.

Is there a flaw in this reasoning somewhere?

Yes, the connection will become significantly more expensive. The technology in the fuse box alone (RCD type B, fuse, possibly combined arrester because of "old building") as well as the wiring. Costs can quickly reach four digits, which is normal.

What for? Most devices already have [eichrechtskonforme] meters on board.

That is stated in the FAQ of our grid operator.
But that probably only really comes into play if you want to sign up for a second, cheaper tariff for e-mobility.

Dear folks,

I have currently arrived exactly at this topic and still don’t fully understand it.

1. It is about applying for the house connections or preparing the meter cabinet.
The electricity connection is handled by Westnetz (NRW) in our case. As already mentioned here in the thread, they also offer the preparation for e-mobility free of charge.
It has already been pointed out that the catch in this story is the dependency on Westnetz and their disconnections at very unfavorable times. In other words, charging would practically only be possible at night.
At the same time, Westnetz says: Yes, we prepare everything for free and basically the customer still has the right to choose any other provider.
So where is the catch again? What would Westnetz gain in the latter case?

2. Just yesterday, I informed the general contractor that we do not need an additional meter and therefore don’t need to provide additional space in the meter cabinet.
Today I learn from Westnetz that I actually do need a second meter if I want to use e-mobility/wallbox at a later time.
Does that mean I have to provide a larger meter cabinet with additional meter space?
Or would I have other options to manage without?

Can someone help me figure out what I absolutely have to provide at the moment?

Thanks in advance!

I would provide at least one additional meter slot to be able to bill the WB separately (small electronic meter).
Just imagine you get an electric company car also for private use, then you can calculate/bill the electricity separately, etc. Expanding the cabinet afterwards is, in my opinion, significantly more expensive than choosing one size larger right away.

Well, they only switch off in case of overload, which usually should no longer happen. Unless in 10 years all neighbors around you are also driving BEVs.
