Installation of Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure
Electromobility represents the future of transportation, with the development of electric vehicle charging infrastructure (EVCI) being essential for the transition to a more "green" lifestyle. Below, you will find all the necessary information about the installation and operation of EVCI, as well as the role of DEDDIE (Hellenic Electricity Distribution Network Operator) in the connection process.
EV Charging Infrastructure Connection Process
To connect and operate electric vehicle charging infrastructure, the following steps are required:
- Filling Out the Application/Notification Form:
- Submitted to DEDDIE and includes all necessary details for connecting your infrastructure to either a Low Voltage (LV) or Medium Voltage (MV) supply.
- The application applies to both new and existing installations.
- Technical Requirements for Internal Installation:
- The installation must meet specific technical standards to be compatible with the electricity distribution network.
- For public charging infrastructure, an independent three-phase low-voltage supply is required.
- Metering Device:
- A specialized meter is installed at the location to record the usage of the charging infrastructure.
- Digital Submission of Applications:
- DEDDIE offers the ability to submit applications digitally for easier and faster processing.
What You Need to Know
- Public Charging Infrastructure:
In public spaces, the placement of charging points is planned by the respective municipality through a framework called the Electric Vehicle Charging Plan (EVCP). DEDDIE actively participates in this process, ensuring proper network connection.
- Private Charging Infrastructure:
If you want to install a charger at your home or business, you can connect the infrastructure either via an existing power supply or through a new connection. These installations are typically low-voltage and serve only the owner’s needs.
- Subsidies and Programs:
There are initiatives and subsidies supporting the purchase and installation of electric vehicle chargers. One example is the “I MOVE ELECTRICALLY” program, which covers part of the cost for charging infrastructure installations.
Advantages of Charging Infrastructure
- For Businesses:
- Enhance your company's image as environmentally friendly.
- Attract customers who own electric vehicles.
- Provide charging services for a fee, creating a new revenue stream.
- For Individuals:
- Autonomy in charging your vehicle.
- Lower charging costs compared to using public stations.
- Contribute to reducing your environmental footprint.
