Can my meter cabinet handle a charging station?

Whether your meter cabinet is suitable for a charging station depends on the current connection and the power of the charging station.

Here are some points to consider:

  1. Capacity of the electrical connection: Your meter box must have sufficient capacity to supply both the normal household electricity consumption and the additional power required for charging your electric car. This is determined by the size of your main connection and the number of available amperes. In some cases, it may be necessary to increase the capacity of your electrical connection.

  2. Charging station capacity: Each charging station has a specific capacity, expressed in kilowatts (kW). This indicates how quickly the charging station can supply power to your electric car. It is important to match the capacity of the charging station with the available capacity of your meter box. This is usually determined by the maximum load your meter box can handle.

  3. Electrical grid and network operator: In some cases, it may be necessary to contact your network operator to check if your electrical grid is suitable for charging an electric car. They can provide information about the available capacity and any required adjustments to the electrical connection.

It is advisable to consult a certified installer of charging stations. They can assess the capacity of your meter box, evaluate the necessary adjustments, and advise you on the suitability of your meter box for installing a charging station. They can also coordinate and perform the necessary adjustments to the meter box and the electrical connection.
