Do you want to lower the investment cost of electric car charging in your property? By combining the grants available with smart technology, you can get more charge for your money.
Don't take the whole bang yourself. There are generous supports for electric car charging that can drastically lower your investment cost. Combine the right contribution and technical solution for the best results.
Find out what support you can seek
- Climate Life and similar programs offer “up to” share of the cost of charging boxes and installation. Calls for calls vary annually, so check current terms and cap amounts at Environmental Protection Agency.
- ROT deduction for private installation may provide some tax deduction on work and materials if the electrician is approved.
- Municipal and regional support: Many municipalities offer additional support for housing associations and apartment buildings—contact your municipality.
- Finnish Transport Administration's programme: Support for public fast chargers along designated roads, based on current calls.
Adapt the technology for best effect
- select load balancing and optimization systems like ChargeNode to make maximum use of each charging point. Fewer points can be enough when shared smartly between users.
- Document the utilization rate in your application — the higher the actual load, the better the argument for higher contribution rate.
Plan the application process
- Collect technical data and cost estimates in good time.
- Contact grant managers early to ensure your solution meets the requirements.
With the right preparation and technology, your property will be both more cost effective and sustainable.
