In buildings with more than three apartments, three parking spaces or three separate garages, the connection power is generally not calculated to cover the charging of electric vehicles. Installing individual charging points directly on apartment meters can cause the power available for the building to be exceeded, damaging the whole electrical installation.
Furthermore, the initial requests will have a decisive impact on future requests. In everyone's interests, it is best to consider a solution that takes into account all current and future needs from the outset.
Assess all needs
This means it is necessary for a common party (co-owners' association, building manager, etc.) to assess the needs of the whole building in terms of electric vehicle recharging, in consultation with all residents. In particular, the building manager or co-owners' association will need to collect the following information:
- The number of parking spaces.
- The number of charging points to be installed in the future.
- Power per charging point.
- Desired connection voltage.
Once this information has been collected, your building manager can submit a work request to Sibelga. Find out more about our recommendations on this topic here.
Please note: If you have already installed electric charging points on your private meter, you must notify the building manager if you have not already done so. The electrical installation may need to be upgraded to standard.
