A home charger typically costs between €500 and €1200 incl. VAT. Advanced chargers fall on the higher end of this range. We think that’s too expensive. Thanks to our smart design, we’re at the lower end—even though our charger uses premium components and offers the most advanced features.

 Installing a home charger typically costs between €300 and €1000. It depends on the condition of your fuse box and whether (and how much) digging is required.

There is currently no national subsidy available for individuals installing a home charger. However, some municipalities do have local programs or incentives to encourage installation—these might include subsidies or other financial support.

Here are the key points:

• Do you need a 1-phase or 3-phase charger?
  
• Will the charger be wall- or pole-mounted?
  
• Do you have solar panels? Then get a charger with solar optimisation
  
• Choose one that’s easy to install
  
• Pick a bidirectional charger if you want to be future-proof
  
• Can the charger automatically optimise for dynamic energy rates?

One that meets your needs and isn’t too expensive. Your needs depend on the answers to the questions above.

You’ll need three things: a suitable grid connection, a separate circuit in your fuse box, and a power cable running from your fuse box to the location of the charger.

Bidirectional charging means your car can not only be charged but also discharged. This turns your car into a mobile home battery, saving you more money through smart charging. For example, charge your car during the day using solar energy and run your washing machine at night using solar power stored in your car. The BlueSky charger is already prepared for bidirectional charging. Once the technology becomes widely available, your charger will be ready.

The charger detects when your solar panels are generating power. We do this using a P1 dongle connected to your smart meter. This lets us adjust the charging speed in real time to the amount of solar energy you’re producing—completely automatically, no action needed.
