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 capacity of the charging station.

Here are some points to consider:

  1. Capacity of the electrical connection: Your meter cabinet must have sufficient capacity to supply both normal household electricity consumption and the extra power 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 pole capacity: Each charging pole has a specific capacity, expressed in kilowatts (kW). This indicates how quickly the charging pole can supply power to your electric car. It is important to match the capacity of the charging pole with the available capacity of your meter cabinet. This is usually determined by the maximum load your meter cabinet can deliver.

  3. Electricity network and network operator: In some cases, it may be necessary to contact your network operator to check whether your electricity network 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 poles. They can assess the capacity of your meter cabinet, evaluate the required adjustments, and advise you on the suitability of your meter cabinet for installing a charging pole. They can also coordinate and carry out the necessary adjustments to the meter cabinet and the electrical connection.
