Installation & preparation

It all starts with a good foundation. Our team will visit first for an inspection. Free and non-binding, of course. We’ll take a look at your electric panel. Is there room for a dedicated circuit? Sometimes a small adjustment is needed—like adding a small box next to it. Not always, but we prefer to be honest. We use materials that meet the latest NEN standards and are partnered with certified grid operators. That provides peace of mind. The installation itself usually takes half a day. We don’t leave any mess behind—that’s a promise.

Think about the location too. Under a canopy is ideal, but not strictly necessary. The charging station can take a beating. Of course, we’ll neatly organize the cables as well.

Smart usage & energy management

Once connected, the real work—and the fun—begins. The app gives you instant insights. No complicated charts, just clear numbers: how many kWh you used, what it cost, and the best times to charge.

• Charge smart during off-peak hours: Between 11:00 PM and 7:00 AM, electricity is often cheaper. The difference can add up to €0.15 per kWh. That makes an impact. Set your car to start charging after 11 PM, and you’ll still drive off with a full battery in the morning.
• Load balancing: A crucial system that smartly distributes available power between your home and the charger. Turn on the washing machine? The charger temporarily slows down. No fuss with blown fuses, and you avoid expensive adjustments to your connection. Pure comfort.
• App insights: For each session, you immediately see the output of your solar panels, if you have them. This way, you maximize charging with your own green energy. You see monthly consumption in kWh and euros. Clear. This puts you in control.

Costs, savings & subsidies

Transparency is important to us. The total price depends on your situation: the distance from the electric panel to the installation spot, the necessary materials. We always provide a fixed price upfront—no surprises afterward. You can count on that. The savings are real. Public charging is often more expensive, and less convenient as well.

Example: Home charging typically costs €3.40–€4.80 per 100 km (depending on tariff and car). Compare that to €8 or €9 at a fast charger. The payback period is often shorter than people think.

For business owners, there are tax benefits (lower addition). Sometimes local subsidies are also available. Our advice? Check with your municipality. We’d be happy to help you with the right documentation.

Case study from Utrecht

At a corner house in Utrecht, we installed a smart electric panel adjustment and a CCombox charger with load balancing. The resident, a nurse with irregular shifts, primarily wanted convenience. After 3 weeks of monitoring, we observed an average consumption of 11.2 kWh per charging session and a savings of about 37% compared to the public stations he previously relied on. He now schedules his charging sessions consistently between 11:00 PM–7:00 AM, paying an average of €0.23/kWh. No more hassle with charging cards or occupied spots. Just driving off with a full battery every day—even after a night shift.

Conclusion & next steps

A home charger is more than just a plug in the wall. It’s control over your energy, a silent saver in your wallet. It can indeed be straightforward: CCombox Content Without Voice-over? Yes. Just a solid product that does what it’s supposed to do, backed by a team that provides honest advice.
