What are the technical requirements for Klimabonus subsidies?

• The maximum charging power of the station is limited to 11 kW and installed by a professional electrician.
• From 7 kW the connection to the Smart Meter is a requirement of the grid operator.
• In the case of a building with at least four parking spaces, only OCPP charging stations version 1.6 or later are eligible.

• With my OCPP (Open Charge Point Protocol) intelligent charging station, the communication between the charging station and a central management system is possible. This allows any type or model of charging station to be integrated into an intelligent charging management system.
• The network manager can also intervene in case of an emergency to manage the power and temporarily reduce it or disactivate the charging station in order to avoid general failures due to network overload and thus avoid damage (e.g. failure of sensitive infrastructures such as freezers).
