Take the leap to electric car in the Marina Alta is becoming more and more easy. The real question is how much does it cost to install a home charger and what you need to work well with your home and, if you already have it, with your photovoltaic installation. Here are real numbers, what are the factors that move the price and how we work in MiSolar for you to safely and at the lowest cost per kilometer.

The amounts vary by power, cabling distance, type of housing, and whether to legalize or adapt protections. As a local reference in Javea, Denia and Calpe, these are ranges that are typical for a wallbox with basic installation done by an authorized installer:

-        Single-family housing, single-phase, of 3.7 to 7.4 kW, travel short cable (up to 10 m) and no civil work: 800 to 1400 € VAT included.

-        Single-family house with travelled half-length (10 to 25 m), gutter, drills, and additional protections: a 1,200-1,900 €.

-        Community garage, single phase, 7,4 kW, with individual line from the counter, stretches in tray, community, counter secondary or dealer cost: 1,500 to 2,500 euros depending on length and permissions of community.

-        Three-phase 11 kW at a villa or townhouse with box three-phase main and protections dedicated: 1.800 €3,000.

These ranges include the charger, labor, protections differential and magnetotérmicas dedicated, power adjustment of the equipment, testing and commissioning. The legalization and newsletter (if applicable) are listed according to each case, which depend on the power and if you modify the existing installation.

MiSolar not published rates closed, because we do visit technical preview to adjust the design and avoid surprises. From that visit, we can give you a clear budget with everything you need and the efforts of legalization.

The key factors are:

-        Power and phase: - in 3.7 and 7.4 kW working in single-phase and is usually sufficient for home use. 11 kW requires three-phase and protections older, the more expensive.

-        Length and difficulty of lying: more meters of cable, more drilling and more gutter raise the cost. In garages community, the routes tend to be more long.

-        Protections and box: if your table requires additional space, a subcuadro or a differential type A or type B-specific charger, add material, and hours.

-        Civil work: rozas, manholes or foundations of post if the charger does not go in the wall.

-        Connectivity and balancing: load balancing with the housing, measurement of surplus solar and communication with inverter or caliper measure added components, and tuning.

-        Legalization: newsletters, certificates and administrative communications, when they come.

Hard and fast rule:

-        3.7 kW: perfect if you are doing loads night long. Tends to cover 20 to 25 miles of range per hour of charging.

-        7,4 kW: domestic standard on single-phase. Provides 35 to 45 km per hour. Requires that your contracted power and wiring permit.

-        11 kW: only if you have three-phase network and you need to refill more quickly in short periods of time.

It isn't always necessary, to increase the contracted power. With the load balancing, the charger adapts to what's left in the house to not shoot the ICP. In many houses in the Marina Alta, 5,75 6.9 kW contracted with rocking allow 7,4 kW peak when the rest of consumption are low.

It should be in almost all the houses. The rolling measures the consumption of the house in real-time and adjusts the power of the charger not to exceed the contracted power. In order to avoid cost overruns fixed in the invoice and cutting excess. It is especially useful if you are using oven, swimming pool and air-conditioned in the summer at the same time.

If you already have license plates, or you're fixing the price, the charger can prioritize surplus solar. There are two ways:

-        Solar mode pure: the car charge only with surplus, ideal in hours central. Your cost-per-km falls to a minimum.

-        Mixed mode: set a minimum from the network and complete with solar when you have a surplus. Hold steady speed without losing kWh solar.

In Jávea, with a 5.7 hours solar peak year on average, a typical system of 5 to 6 kWp can cover a large part of the burden daytime running a used car on a daily basis. MiSolar design integration for the investor, the caliper measure and the wallbox to communicate and maximise self-consumption. If you are planning to expand to solar, review how we work in residential facilities in the area and how we take the project from beginning to end.

-        Who can install: the installer licensed electrician. This ensures protections correct cable cross-section appropriate and a newsletter when it is necessary.

-        Can I do it myself?: it is not recommended. In addition to safety, the equipment warranty and the legalization able to rely on a professional installation.

-        Rules: reglamento Electrotécnico para Baja Tension and, in the communities of owners, the Law of Horizontal Property. For garages community, it is enough to communicate in writing to the community (it is not necessary approval if you meet technical requirements and security), to provide technical memory and run to your coast without affecting third parties.

-        Newsletter and legalization: depending on the power and modifications, you can require Electrical Installation Certificate and communication to the distributor. In MiSolar you indicated in the visit and manage as you apply.

-        Single family house in Denia, 7,4 kW with 12 m of wiring and balancing: 1 day of work and commissioning.

-        Townhouse in Javea, 3.7 kW, short course and no civil work: half day.

-        Plaza garage in Calpe, 7,4 kW with layout of 35 m and counter secondary: 1 to 2 days more coordination with the community.

Deadlines may vary for access, the permissions of the garage and receipt of materials, but the installation itself is usually quick.

-        Technical visit: we take action, we review your picture, the contracted power and the optimum.

-        Design and budget: we propose power, rolling and if you have PV, the integration to prioritize surplus.

-        Installation and commissioning: charger, protections, wiring discreet and tests. Let the app set up.

-        Legalization and support: we manage the appropriate documentation, and we are close to any subsequent adjustment. Our team in Jávea supports local throughout the Costa Blanca North.

If you are weighing whether to merge the charger with pv to reduce to a minimum the cost per kilometer, you can see how we work on projects of self-consumption in residential and request an evaluation of your roof in the area of Javea and the surrounding area by visiting the main page of MiSolar. You can also explore how to integrate chargers in projects of residential solar panels in Javea and the Costa Blanca North.

-        How much does it cost to install a charger for electric car? In the Marina Alta, a range habitual goes from 800 to 1.900 € in single-family homes and 1,500 to 2,500 euros in garages, community, according to power, cable length and protections.

-        How much do you charge for putting a charger for electric car? Authorised installers charge, depending on the scope. The final price includes equipment, labor, protections, and, when applicable, newsletter and legalization.

-        Can I install this myself a charger of electric vehicles? It is not recommended. You can compromise the safety, warranty, and legalization. The community may require responsibilities if there is an incident.

-        How much power do I need at home to charge an electric car? 3.7 kW load of the night, 7,4 kW as standard for domestic single-phase and 11 kW if you have three-phase and are looking for more quickly. With sway, many homes prevent to upload the contracted power.

Install a home charger in the Costa Blanca is more simple than it seems. With a good design, load balancing, and, if you have plates, prioritization of surplus, you can safely charge and pay very little per kilometer. The cost depends on the power, the route of the cable and of the legalization, but with a technical visit to be quick and we'll give you a fixed price and a clear plan.
