Installation is simple: the charging box is connected to an existing electric distribution board and fitted at the private parking space. In this way the car can always be charged while it is parked.

An online configurator provides a convenient and quick overview of the system.
innogy also has a solution in its portfolio that is suitable for businesses planning to switch their fleet to electric vehicles: the smart charging box including installation service. Fleet operators can thus offer their employees a convenient charging solution for their company car at their parking space at home. If required, innogy can also log the electricity used for charging the company car at home separately. This is a precondition for the employer being able to calculate and reimburse actual consumption and associated costs. It is based on the individual electricity tariff of the employee.

People planning to buy an electric car in the near future can install the charging box now and benefit from the grant. innogy recommends the complete package consisting of installation and eBox: the package will be subsidised by approximately 870 euros. The deadline for applying for the grant at the Regional Government in Arnsberg is 20 November 2018.
