Charging your electric car in Uccle
In Fort-Jaco, Saint-Job and Vivier d'Oie, around the Observatoire or in Calevoet, Uccle has many single-family houses and villas with a garage or driveway. We install both wall-mounted chargers in garages and post-mounted chargers beside driveways, sometimes a fair distance from the fuse box.
In these larger homes, two electric cars at the same address are not unusual: two chargers, or a charger and a socket, with load management that shares the grid connection without tripping the main circuit breaker. Solar panels are also common: a charger with solar control then makes the most of the surplus.
Situations we come across in Uccle

The electricity grid in Uccle
As elsewhere in the Region, many homes in Uccle 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.
