Installing a charging infrastructure for electric vehicles on company premises

Electric mobility, a key element in decarbonising your business

Electric cars are part of the solution to successfully decarbonising your company’s vehicle fleet. Filling up thermal cars with fuel from service stations is only partly applicable to this type of vehicle. It is essential to set up a suitable charging infrastructure.

Definition of the company’s mobility requirements

Analysis of requirements

• Total number of electric cars (current and future needs)
• Typical parking time and charging autonomy required during this period
• Number of vehicles that need to charge simultaneously (charge management)
• Charging capacity (accelerated charging (< 22kW) and/or ultra-fast charging (DC))
• Technical requirements for charging points
• Billing system and consumption monitoring
• Concrete examples for planning a charging infrastructure
• Subsidy for needs analysis: simplified planning calculator

Identifying the solution and checking the feasibility of the charging infrastructure project

• If necessary, find an investor for the project
  • Matchmaking tool for landowners and investors: pro-charging.lu
