Hello! In November I bought a Wallbox Copper SB 22kW. There were only problems with it and after the proposed installation options the box finally burned. Then I got a new one. But also the new one could only charge with 11kW and the charging process always stopped with a mistake when the current 16A (11kW) exceeded. Now I am without charging station. There are not many cars (only Renault?) that can charge with 22kW. Someone has a Zoe and a charging station that with 22kW invites and works well? Greetings, Jukka

Hello together, the following facts: I live in a townhouse with adjacent garage yard. Unfortunately the garages have no electricity, so currently no wallbox can be installed. The house is not 50m from the back wall of the garage. I am not an expert, but theoretically “only” a line from the house would have to be placed in the garage, counters and fuses to it and hooks on it. Has someone done similar things? Knows what it could cost about? Is it possible at all h, since the management goes over public ground, should be dug etc.? Around me exist some public pillars, however, I would like to check if a wallbox in the garage would be possible. Thank you and many greetings

Hello together, a healthy new year in advance! short to the background. I have a hybrid service car, which I can use completely privately and which is paid for both petrol and electricity 100% by the employer. For this a wallbox is installed, which is exactly documented and evaluable. I submit every 3 months and get refunded. However, I had only charged the car for 8months in 2022 (1600KWh = 200KWh/month) Now comes in 2023 the electricity price cover, which has a fixed n Price (40cent) up to 80% of the previous year’s electricity consumption covers – in addition, I have to pay for used electricity with 57cent. I now have an understanding problem, how I should calculate in the future in order not to significantly increase my electricity consumption in the household by the company car at an early stage. Scenario 1) I charge my employer also 40Cent / KWh until the previous year’s volume of 80% is reached. But in my opinion means that I would have to pay the 57Cent much faster (even privately) – so actually by the private charging I put myself worse. In this context – possibly even more clearly what I mean – someone should charge an electric car at the own connection on 1.1.23 would be reached the 80% shortly and the entire private electricity would be blatantly more expensive. Scenario 2) – but here I do not know if it is realistic – I calculate from the beginning 57 cents my Arbei tgeber … As you can see, I somehow lack a good approach! Hope someone has a sensible idea – a hint how to proceed here for which I would be very grateful greetings

Hello, short to me: I’m a little over 50, live in France, have wife and two children. I ordered an A3 Sportback 40 TFSI e today. Since I live in France and I don’t find any reliable information I hope to get some more precise statements here. The Audi has a 13kWh battery. The car is in use during the day and at night it should be parked in a carport. This one gets a PV system and a battery storage. With the battery storage the battery should be charged in the car at night (1 00%. A connection to the local power grid is not possible and also not useful. It is not about the costs and when something “calculates”. My questions are: – what capacity does the battery storage have to have to charge the auto battery at night 100% (I have no idea how much there is maximum residual capacity in the car)? – based on the capacity of the battery storage I need how much kWp of the solar modules? Unfortunately, this can never be found for a hybrid – always only for pure electric cars the natürli ch have a completely different battery and thus can not do for a single carport without a power supply. And it always has to count itself – environmental protection can cost yes nothing 😉 Maybe there is someone among you who can tell me something about it or knows a “advisor” gladly also against fee of such sizes calculated.

It has been planned for a long time to reduce wallboxes to 5kW in case of lack of electricity. Now heat pumps and wallboxes should be completely switched off at peak times. Over hours. Even if it is moved, without electricity it will come and without electricity we will be more frequent in the future. Would then a charge over Schuko still be possible? Does the power use still work with a bi-directional wallbox or does the car fail as storage completely because the whole wallbox goes off? The Wallbox promotion (only controllable) is clear to everyone.https://www.welt.de/…/…nt-Forced Charging Breaks-for-Elektroautos.html

FCE Hello, am the new one with new AMI. Does anyone know if I can charge the AMI with solar panels on the roof (like SONO-SION). But does not want to use a 220 V inverter! My idea is: 4 panels 100 watts in series = 400 watts 48 volts –> MPPT regulator 48 V, 60 amp. –> ??? into the BMS or directly into the tracking battery over a 40 amp. Backup. ???? Warm greetings from FCE (forococheseléctricos).

Hello together, I don’t know if this fits in, if not excused Please. However, I would be very happy about tips and advice. It’s about my underground parking space that I bought for my apartment. It’s a 220 V with lockable socket that I can have set up for 450€. Well, this is not suitable for charging electric vehicles. Is such a socket in the underground parking garage worth it? For those who have one, do you often use it? d for what? Is a later conversion to a wallbox cheaper if already a power line is available, i.e. the socket? Thank you!

Hello, maybe someone has a tip for the following problem: We have a Mercedes C 350 E hybrid that we charge at home via the supplied charging cable (charging cable with a box for the 220V socket, supplied by Mercedes, manufacturer company Intertek). We now also have a new PV system that I want to use to charge the car. So that this only happens when solar power is available, the idea was to use a controlled switchable socket. I now have neulic h when it became dark and no solar power was available anymore was simply the charging cable on the mains side off the socket and experienced a nasty surprise the next morning. The control electronics in the car probably didn’t come along and the 12V vehicle battery was completely unloaded (there was nothing left!) because something still remained in operation. Now the question: Does anyone know a possibility how to get such an interruption of the charging process easily? Thanks in advance for eur e ideas on this.
