Charging your electric car in Berchem-Sainte-Agathe
On the edge of the Region, Berchem-Sainte-Agathe has kept its green, residential character. The single-family houses with garages, common in the municipality, allow a simple wall-mounted installation, while the small, recent blocks of flats often have an underground car park.
In older houses, the fuse box sometimes needs upgrading before it can take the charger's circuit: we check this from our very first conversation, so the price holds no surprises.

The electricity grid in Berchem-Sainte-Agathe
As elsewhere in the Region, many homes in Berchem-Sainte-Agathe are connected to a 3 × 230 V grid rather than 3 × 400 V. On this grid, charging is usually single-phase, up to 7.4 kW, which is enough to charge most cars overnight. Not every charger is compatible: we check your grid connection before advising you. For any change to the connection, your contact is Sibelga, the Brussels distribution system operator.
