When building a new house, planning charging stations or wall boxes for electric cars such as a BMW i3, BMW iX xDrive, Porsche Taycan or Tesla Model S is very important. We design and plan the electrical installation for the power supply and data connections for almost every house construction. The background: The electric house, which is a house with a KNX infrastructure and its data lines and controls, fits perfectly with an electric car and its battery storage. The advantage of the KNX Smart Home: all the intelligence and control is already there.
However, the installation of a wall box without charging control is not particularly intelligent, since expensive energy from the power grid is also used to charge the car battery. The goal should therefore be to charge as much excess energy as possible from the PV system directly into the electric car battery. At the same time, the charge control should take place automatically in the background and follow a priority when other consumers in the house (e.g. stove, dishwasher, washing machine, etc.) are switched on.
