Charging infrastructure
The charging station for the electric car – Frequently asked questions
While the wallbox is used for wall mounting indoors (garage) or outdoors (house wall or stele) and is operated in the private area with a maximum of 11kW, higher charging capacities and more than one charging point per charging station are possible with a charging station in public or semi-public areas. Due to their design, charging stations are very suitable for installation in public or semi-public places where users stay for a long time. For example, on commercial buildings or in an underground car park. If users want to authenticate themselves for a charge in a public place and if the charging process is to be billed, the provider needs a charging station that complies with the custody law. Charging stations can usually be easily integrated into dynamic load management in order to avoid peak loads and make the best possible use of the charging power. We have collected typical questions and answers about the charging station.
The wallbox for the electric car – Frequently asked questions
If you're looking for an alternative to a charging station, consider using a wallbox instead, which can be a useful option for single-family homes, apartment buildings, or parking spaces in underground garages or advertisement buildings. Although it is theoretically possible to charge your own vehicle via the usual household Schuko socket, it is not recommended. We have collected typical questions and answers about the wallbox.
You can connect your vehicle to any Schneider Electric wallbox with a Type 2 plug. Alternatively, depending on the version, an additional SCHUKO plug is also available.
