Promotion of e-mobility for new construction

So they only switch off in case of overload, which should generally no longer happen. Unless in 10 years all residents around you and the corner are also driving BEVs.

Just checked the FAQs from Westnetz. They require a separate meter. And indeed: they have fixed charging periods!

Currently, we control the charging of electric vehicles according to these three time blocks:

3:45 PM – 4:30 PM and 7:30 PM – 7:30 AM the following day
4:00 PM – 4:45 PM and 7:45 PM – 7:45 AM the following day
4:15 PM – 5:00 PM and 8:00 PM – 8:00 AM the following day

One time block will be assigned to you by us. Outside these switching times, your charging device will be completely switched off. However, we are already working on making the charging times even more flexible.

There will be even more of that. With [Wärmepumpen], this is often already standard. The providers have no desire to put the expensive peak load electricity into the car that hangs on the plug all night. Beautiful new electric world

So alternatively install it yourself and not through Westnetz. Up to 11kW only requires notification.

That’s pretty extreme. I really appreciate my 22kW charging unit without control by the grid operator...

Thank you all!

So I gather that at least the preparation for the second meter would be sensible.

The point is – and I’m still looking for the catch – that supposedly you are not obliged to commit to Westnetz. They prepare the eMobility connection (in the context of new construction/new connection) completely free of charge and allegedly you still have the choice regarding the providers...

I thought maybe someone here has just gone through the same thing and therefore has the insight :)

Well...to me, that rather reads as if Westnetz is definitely allowed to switch it off.

Westnetz now promotes the establishment of private charging infrastructure for electromobility. Every new grid connection costs €0.00 if the customer agrees to the grid-friendly control of their (also future) charging device.
