Frequently asked questions
How much does a home charger cost with installation?
A typical home charger including installation costs €800–1,500 in Estonia (incl. VAT). The price depends on the model, cable length and routing. Get your exact range in one minute with our price calculator.
Is my main fuse big enough for a charger?
A 22 kW charger needs 32 A per phase at full power. If your main fuse is smaller or has little headroom, we set the charger to a lower current or, with VOOL, install dynamic load balancing (VOOL LMC controller). If the fuse needs upgrading, we'll help you apply to Elektrilevi.
How long does installation take?
A standard installation at a private house takes 3–5 hours on a single day. From enquiry to installation usually takes 5–10 working days. Underground cabling can take 1–2 days.
Can I charge overnight at the cheap exchange price?
Yes. The VOOL App tracks the Nord Pool exchange price itself and charges your car in the cheapest hours. For the Deye charger we set up a schedule in the Deye Cloud app (up to four time windows a day), for example the cheap night hours. On an exchange-price contract this can noticeably cut your charging costs.
Do I need a permit to install a home charger?
A private house usually doesn't need a building permit, but the electrical work must be done by a qualified electrician. After installation you receive a test report and documentation, which your insurer may also ask for.
Will the charger work with my car?
Yes. All our chargers use the European-standard Type 2 connector, which fits every electric and plug-in hybrid car sold in Europe: Tesla, VW, Škoda, BMW, Hyundai, Kia, Volvo and more.
Does the charger work outdoors in an Estonian winter?
Yes. Every model we offer is outdoor-rated (IP55–IP66) and, according to the manufacturers, works down to at least −30 °C (Deye down to −40 °C). For outdoor installs we use UV- and frost-resistant cable and protective ducting.
What warranty do the charger and installation have?
Deye and VOOL chargers carry a 5-year manufacturer warranty, and we give a 2-year warranty on installation work. If something goes wrong, we come out and fix it ourselves. You don't have to deal with the manufacturer.
Is there a subsidy for home chargers in Estonia?
Support schemes open and close in rounds, so check the current terms on the KIK and Elektrilevi websites. If a scheme is open, we'll prepare the quote and documents you need for the application.
