The electricity is measured by the meter integrated into the terminal and is associated with the user identified by his badge. Climkit invoices the user monthly or quarterly at the rates defined by the owner.

You need to install terminals equipped with the OCPP communication protocol, which is open and standard. As a general rule, avoid terminals offered by car dealerships, which are more suitable for connections in individual homes.

Installation is carried out by a qualified electrician. The cost depends on the topology of the building and the car park. In general, the basic infrastructure for a car park with around twenty spaces costs between CHF 500 and CHF 750 per space. You then need to allow between CHF 2,000 and CHF 2,500 for the supply and installation of an individual charging point.

Yes, use of the charging points is open to people who do not live in the building, thanks to a QR code affixed to the charging point. Passing users pay directly for the occasional top-up of their vehicle via Twint or by credit card.

Yes, it is possible to share the use of a charging point, as each user identifies himself with his badge and is billed for his own consumption. As it only takes 4 to 5 hours to recharge the equivalent of 250 to 300 km, most residents only plug in once a week.

It is recommended that the basic infrastructure (flat cable) be installed in all the squares and that the bollards be installed as and when required by residents. It is also possible to install only a few terminals available to all, in visitor areas for example.

In rental properties, the landlord finances the basic infrastructure (installation of the flat cable) and the installation of the individual charging points in return for payment of a rental fee for the tenants who use the charging points.

In a condominium, all the owners finance the basic infrastructure and then each pays for the supply and installation of their own terminal.

Charging power will be limited to the amperage of the flat connection. This will mean a longer charging time and a risk of the flat fuse blowing. With a dedicated connection to all the charging points in the building, the power is better distributed and regulated.

No, there's no need to increase the amperage of the electrical connection because flats and communal areas only consume a fraction of the power available and the rest can be made available to the terminals. In the event of peak consumption, the Climkit system temporarily reduces the power supplied to the terminals to prevent the fuses from blowing!
