i read the document on 'installing electric charging station(s) in a copropriété. Here what is most important for us
Environmental permit / PEB guideline
We have less than 10 parking spots, so no need for an environmental permit or yearly declarations on how many charging points we have (to Sibelga).
PEB guideline for Brussels: from 1/01/2025 every parking spot connected to a home needs to have a charging point if the owner has an electric car, in case of new construction or renovation.
Individual vs collective systems
In a copropriété with different parking spots, you can go for different systems
-
individual system: every one has his own charging point, connected to their private counter. This is not an option for us as Sibelga obliges a copropriété with more than 3 parking spots, to go for a collective solution with a common counter for all charging points.
-
collective system with each its own charging point: every one has his own charging point, all charging point are connected to a common counter. There are two ways to manage the charging points (more details: 2.4.2.1 en 2.4.2.2. in the pdf)
-
collective system with collective charging points: not every one has a charging point. The charging point(s) are connected to a common counter. Here you need to have a number of common parking spots. This doesn’t seem like an option for us as all our parking spots are private. Unless we make (some of) our parking spots common (specific). They advise to have at least one charging point per 3 to 4 electric cars.
Beyond a certain number of charging points, reinforcing the grid connection will become necessary.
There are a certain number of requirements that the installations need to fulfill, related to fire security. This might lead to extra costs.
Financing models
Complete outsourcing (charging as a service): a supplier foresees the charging points. The operational risk lies with the supplier.
Shared model (we invest in the connection to the network, the supplier as asset owner: the operational risk lies with the supplier
We invest in the assets, management is outsourced: the investment of the infrastructure is completely done by ourselves. Management (maintenance, billing,..) is outsourced.
We invest and manage everything: this is hardly done as you need a specific back office for most charging points. This is rather complex to develop and/or implement.
Technical choices to make
-
Type of charging points
Charging mode (mode 3?)
Charging power (determined by the average amount of km you do daily, consumption of the car , the available charging duration)
Requirements related to fire safety
Connectivity (does your employer intervenes in the costs of the electricity for your car?)
Smart charging: an intelligent operating system controls the charging (eg charge the cars when there is little electric consumption in the units, in case of solar panels)
-
Grid connection
The available grid connection will determine how many charging points we can foresee.
-
Load location and cabling
-
Fire security
@coral-board : at first sight, it looks like a collective system with collective charging points might be the most in line with our cohousing, but that would mean (to my understanding) that the parking spots would need to be defined as common (specific), and not private. If not we will need to all install our own charging station which is - to me - unnecessary and comes at a higher total installation cost ( and which might need extra reinforcement of the network by Sibelga).
