Which charging station do I need for my car?

The choice is related to a number of factors.

To determine which charging station you need for your car, there are several factors to consider:

  1. Charging Capacity: Check which charging capacity your car supports. Some electric cars can support fast charging with higher power levels, while other cars can only charge at a normal rate with lower power. It's important to choose a charging station that is compatible with the maximum charging capacity of your car.

  2. Type of Connection: Look at which type of connection your car has. The most common connections are Type 2 (Mennekes) and Type 1 (J1772). Make sure the charging station has a matching connection to charge your car.

  3. Charging Speed: Depending on your needs and charging patterns, you can determine what charging speed you want for your car. Fast chargers offer a higher power level and can reduce charging time, while regular chargers have a lower charging speed. Consider how often you charge the car and how important charging time is to you.

  4. Smart Features: Consider if you are interested in smart features such as connectivity, energy measurements, scheduled charging, user authentication, etc. Some charging stations offer advanced features that can be handy if you want more control and insight into your charging sessions.

  5. Installation and Accessibility: Take into account the available space and possibilities for the installation of the charging station. Think about whether you want to install the charging station on your own premises or if you want to use public charging infrastructure. Depending on the situation, there may be different charging station options.

It is advisable to contact a certified supplier or installer of charging stations. They can help you select the right charging station based on your specific needs and compatibility with your car. Make sure you have the technical specifications of your car at hand when seeking advice, so the supplier can recommend the most suitable charging station for you.
