FAQs

Your level of support for the “Charge the Car Subsidy” is governed by the size of the company. The size is based on the number of employees, turnover and balance sheet size of the group as a whole.

Here's a rundown of the different categories and what support you can expect:

• Small businesses (50% support): operations with fewer than 50 employees and an annual turnover or balance sheet of less than EUR 10 million; Here the grant covers half of the cost, up to SEK 15,000 per charging point.
• Medium-sized enterprises (40% aid): companies with fewer than 250 employees and turnover below EUR 50 million (or balance below EUR 43 million); The support level is 40%, with the same maximum ceiling of SEK 15,000 per charging point.
• Large companies (20% support): companies with more than 250 employees or exceeding the limits of medium-sized enterprises; Here, 20% support is granted, up to SEK 15,000 per charging point.

Important to remember: When calculating size, not only the individual company is counted, but also the parent companies, subsidiaries and partners of the entire group.

Yes, as of February 1, 2026 apply new, more favourable rules for the Environmental Protection Agency's “Load the car” grant. The most important thing to know is that you must now submit your application before The installation begins.

The main novelties of the grant are:

• No cap on big bets: The previous restriction of €300,000 per group has been removed, allowing for significantly larger installations.
• More uses: Charging points are now also included for guest car parks, customer spaces and clean business vehicles (e.g. taxis and courier cars) of the aid.
• Custom Support: The level of aid is now based on the size of the company (small, medium or large), which provides a more equitable distribution.

As before, the grant covers a significant part of the investment, but remember to apply in time so as not to miss out on the support!

All property types can be profitable, but the conditions vary. Hotels and shopping centres have shorter parking hours but more visitors, while BRF and offices have longer parking hours with dedicated users. The calculator automatically adjusts parameters such as average loading time and occupancy based on your property type.

Profitability is based on the margin between the purchase price and the selling price of electricity. The calculator uses standard values of SEK 1.50/kWh in purchase cost and SEK 4.00/kWh in customer price, which gives a margin of SEK 2.50/kWh. You can adjust these values in advanced settings to match your actual electricity costs and pricing.

The investment cost includes the charging station, installation, electrical work and any connection fees. For condominium associations (BRF), there is often a connection fee per outlet.

The payback period is calculated by simulating the monthly income from charging and any monthly fees, minus interest charges on the investment. We take into account that the number of electric cars increases over time (standard increase 3% per month) which progressively increases occupancy and revenue until the accumulated profit covers the net investment.

Yes, you can scan the QR code at the outlet by pressing the button with the QR code in the app. This will automatically take you through to payment options and you will not need to download the app.

After selecting the withdrawal, you specify when to go - we will prioritize your recharge by the time of departure. You can select 'Unlimited' for full charge or specify specific number of kWh using the arrow buttons.

You can pay with Apple Pay, Google Pay, or by adding a debit or credit card. The card must be open for internet purchases. We withdraw money on the 28th of every month.

You can create an account by selecting 'Continue with Google', 'Continue with Apple' or 'Continue with Email'. Choose the option that suits you best and follow the instructions to confirm your login.

To charge you will need: a smartphone with internet, the ChargeNode app installed (iOS/Android), a registered account and a payment method added to the app. Start charging by selecting area, selecting outlet, setting departure time, determining charge amount and pressing 'Let's go!

No, thanks to smart charging and dynamic load balancing, you can maximize your existing capacity without costly network upgrades. The system optimizes the use of available power and prevents overload.

In ChargeNode's comprehensive portal, property owners gain total control over statistics, pricing, administration and support — 24 hours a day, year round. The portal provides complete overview and makes it easy to manage the entire charging infrastructure.

Users can easily manage and monitor their charging via ChargeNode's user-friendly app or with RFID tag. Everything is smooth and intuitive, which simplifies everyday life for any user.

Dynamic load balancing continuously monitors and adapts to the property's actual electricity consumption in real time. Unlike static load balancing, which uses fixed limit values, the dynamic system automatically optimizes charging between all connected EVs based on real-world conditions — resulting in significantly better capacity utilization.

Smart charging is an intelligent system that automatically optimizes the charging of electric cars based on the total electricity consumption of the property in real time. The system ensures maximum capacity utilization without the risk of overload or costly power peaks, while continuously adapting to real-world conditions.

A condominium association with 15 electric cars could potentially Save over 70 000 SEK per year by implementing smart charging and load balancing. This means distributing the charge over time and with lower power, especially during nighttime hours when the power charge is often lower.

Energy is measured in kilowatt-hours (kWh) and indicates the amount of electricity used over a period. Power is measured in kilowatts (kW) and indicates how much energy is used per unit of time. Power tariffs focus on the power output, that is, how much electricity you use at the same time.

Power tariffs are based on your maximum electricity consumption at one time, not total consumption. By spreading out your electricity usage, you can lower your costs. For example, you can save by charging your electric car at night when many grid companies offer discounts.

You can prepare by finding out how your power charge is designed, identifying your power peaks, using smart control for electric car charging, avoid using multiple energy-consuming appliances at the same time and shift electricity use to off-peak hours, most often at night.

Power tariffs shall be introduced by all electricity network companies in Sweden by 1 January 2027 in accordance with the regulations of the Swedish Energy Market Inspectorate. Some companies have already implemented this pricing model.

Nord Pool is the Nordic electricity exchange that was started in 1996 by Sweden and Norway. Member countries are now Belgium, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Germany and Austria.

The electricity price is based on what the Nordic electricity exchange Nord Pool has for prices.

As you know, it can swing a lot. In addition, BRFs, businesses and property owners decide for themselves what price they should charge for charging.

the amount of energy per unit of time transferred when charging a rechargeable vehicle; The unit of charging power is kilowatts, kW.

In professional language, they are called DC chargers and charge on during the hour.
