Charging your electric car in Etterbeek
Around La Chasse, Place Jourdan and towards the Cinquantenaire, Etterbeek is made up of grand townhouses, often split into flats, and more recent buildings. Individual garages do exist, but many cars spend the night in the underground car parks of apartment buildings.
This is the typical case where the property manager's (syndic's) approval and shared load management make all the difference. For houses with a garage, the challenge is more the cable route between the cellar (often where the fuse box is) and the garage at the front of the house: we work it out with you for a discreet installation.
Situations we come across in Etterbeek
- Underground car park in an apartment building
- Townhouse with a front-facing garage
- Cable to be routed from the cellar
- Offices in the European Quarter
The electricity grid in Etterbeek
As elsewhere in the Region, many homes in Etterbeek 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.
