Subsidy for EV charger 2026
- SEEH (Subsidy for electric car drivers at home): € 200 subsidy per charger for homeowners in areas without a public charging point within 50 m — apply via RVO.nl after installation
- Net metering + dynamic tariff: combine charger with solar panels for near-zero charging cost; control with P1 port
Tips for EV charging point installation
- Require smart charging (P1 port) — ensure the charger communicates with home battery or solar panels; up to € 400/year difference in electricity costs
- Check load management — with a 1×25A supply, charger + microwave + oven can exceed the limit; upgrade supply or install a load manager
- Minimise cable run — every extra metre of concealed cable costs € 15–€ 30; position charger close to consumer unit
- Future-proof: prepare for 3-phase — even if charging single-phase now: lay conduit for 3-phase cable; upgrading later is cheaper
- Use a certified installer — the grid operator requires installation by a certified electrician; otherwise no connection approval
Permit for EV charging point
Home EV charger on own property: no permit required. Exception: listed building or protected townscape — check omgevingsloket.nl.
