Net4Energy Guide: What to Consider When Buying a Wallbox

The online platform Net4Energy has now introduced a free guide for smart charging of electric vehicles with the wallbox. The work provides information about the wallbox and its features, clarifies the differences from a simple socket, and explains why charging electric vehicles with a socket is not sensible or even dangerous. According to the authors, the wallbox is a private charging station and significantly safer than a socket. The guide explains the different types of wallboxes, as well as their structure and components. It also lists which legal frameworks need to be observed. For homeowners, the installation is not a problem. The situation is different for renters or apartment owners. Installation is not possible without the consent of the landlord or, in the case of apartment owners, without the agreement of all parties of the homeowners' association. Registering the wallbox with the network operator should also not be forgotten.

Securing funding for the wallbox

A wallbox may have its price, but the federal government supports the use of renewable energies and electromobility. It lists which government grants are available for the purchase and installation of a wallbox and what needs to be considered when using these funding opportunities. The provider runs an online energy magazine that aims to guide readers on their way to their personal energy transition.
