Which vehicles can charge?
The version for Europe uses Type 2 (AC) and CCS2 (DC) – the standards of electric cars sold in Europe. We confirm the performance data of the European version with the data sheet. How fast a car actually charges ultimately also depends on the vehicle itself.
Is our grid connection sufficient?
Often yes – with load management. The Project Check shows the connection capacity with and without load management. If the connection is too tight, we examine battery storage, PV or an increase with the distribution system operator.
What does the grid operator need?
Your electrician submits the required notifications, for example the installation notice and – depending on the output – a technical connection request. We clarify which documents your grid operator requires at the start of the project.
What is load management?
A controller distributes the available power across all charging points. If several vehicles charge at the same time, each gets a little less – with a long dwell time, nobody notices.
How is billing handled?
There are three common routes: your own back end, a third-party billing platform, or billing via the energy supplier. Which one suits depends on the site – per apartment, per employee, per guest. Which interfaces the devices support, e.g. OCPP, we confirm with the data sheet.
What applies to condominium ownership (Stockwerkeigentum)?
The base installation in common areas generally requires a resolution of the owners’ meeting and a cost allocation. What has proved effective: first the base installation for all spaces, the wallbox for each household later. Whether a ZEV/vZEV (self-consumption communities) makes sense with a solar system, we assess in the project.
Can we start small?
Yes. Often the base installation is done for all parking spaces, and the charging stations are added as needed.
Are there subsidies?
Some cantons, municipalities and energy suppliers subsidise charging infrastructure. The conditions vary – we check this for your location.
Who provides service and spare parts?
BergVoll is your contact in Switzerland. According to the manufacturer, there are 12 partner service points and 13 spare-parts warehouses in the EU, the United Kingdom, Norway and Iceland – not in Switzerland.
How accurate is the Project Check?
It provides guide values based on mileage, consumption and dwell time, including roughly 10 % charging losses. It does not replace planning by a qualified electrical professional.
