- Previous scheme: for invoices from 2023 to 2025, the grant was €750 or €1,200 (€1,650 in a collective system, €450 for pre-wiring). It is closed.
- Energy management system: a €500 Klimabonus if it controls at least two appliances, for example the charger and a heat pump, for invoices issued from 1 October 2026.
Which charger output should you choose: 7.4, 11 or 22 kW?
For most households, 7.4 kW single-phase or 11 kW three-phase is enough: one night comfortably covers a daily commute. 22 kW is only useful if the car accepts it on alternating current, which is rare. From 11 kW you are above the 7.4 kW threshold beyond which the announced grant requires a certificate or notification from the grid operator.
| Output | Connection | Range added per hour | 60 kWh battery from 10 to 100% |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3.7 kW (reinforced socket) | Single-phase 16 A | ≈ 20 km | ≈ 16 h |
| 7.4 kW | Single-phase 32 A | ≈ 40 km | ≈ 8 h |
| 11 kW | Three-phase 16 A | ≈ 60 km | ≈ 5.5 h |
| 22 kW | Three-phase 32 A | ≈ 120 km | ≈ 3 h (if the car accepts it) |
Calculated for a car using about 17 kWh per 100 km, charging losses included. Check your car’s AC charging power: an 11 kW charger does not charge a car limited to 7.4 kW any faster than a 7.4 kW one.
Technical requirements: panel, three-phase, load management
- A dedicated circuit from the panel, with a circuit breaker and residual current protection suited to EV charging.
- Three-phase for 11 or 22 kW; if the home is single-phase, the switch to three-phase is requested from the grid operator.
- Load management: it modulates the charger’s output when the kitchen, water heater or heat pump are running, to stay within the connection capacity.
- Above 7.4 kW: the announced grant requires a certificate or notification from the grid operator.

Installing a charger in a co-owned car park
There is currently no automatic « right to plug » in Luxembourg law: a charger that affects the common parts (cable through the car park, connection to the common meter) must be authorised by the general meeting, by a majority of the votes of all co-owners. If refused, an appeal to the courts remains possible; the government is exploring a reform of the voting rules.
- Individual solution: charger connected to your meter, cable through the common parts, general meeting vote.
- Collective solution: shared infrastructure with smart load management, which each owner then connects to. Announced grant: €1,200 per smart charger and 50% of the collective system, at most €40,000 per building. In apartment buildings, only OCPP chargers or chargers managed by such a system would be funded.
To prepare the vote, see our guide to works in co-owned buildings.
EV charger and solar panels
A controllable charger charges the car with the panels’ surplus: each kWh that would have sold for about 4 cents replaces a kWh bought for about 22 cents. A car driving 15,000 km a year uses nearly 2,550 kWh, enough to absorb a good part of the summer surplus of a 6 kWp system. See our guide to solar panels and the solar payback page.
How much does charging at home cost?
About €3.70 per 100 km: an electric car uses in the order of 17 kWh per 100 km, and a kWh costs about €0.22 excluding the standing charge. For 15,000 km a year, home charging comes to about €560. At the average all-in price for a typical household in 2026, 25.8 cents per kWh according to the government, allow €4.40 per 100 km.
The steps of a charger installation
- Electrician’s visit: connection, panel, distance, possible output.
- Quote stating the model, output, protocol (OCPP, ISO 15118-20) and any extra work.
- Formalities: switch to three-phase if needed; above 7.4 kW, certificate or notification from the grid operator.
- Installation: half a day to a day for a simple job.
- Grant application after the invoice, on MyGuichet.lu, once the 2026 scheme has been passed.

Frequently asked questions about home EV chargers
How much does it cost to install a home wallbox in Luxembourg?
Allow €800 to €1,500 including VAT, installed, for a 7.4 kW wallbox and €1,200 to €2,200 including VAT for an 11 kW smart charger (renov.lu price survey, September 2026). An electrical panel upgrade, €800 to €2,000, or a long cable run may come on top. The announced grant reimburses 50% of the price before VAT, within a limit of €750 to €1,400 depending on the charger.
What grant is available for an EV charger in 2026?
The announced scale provides 50% of the price before VAT, at most €750 for a standard charger, €1,200 for an OCPP smart charger and €1,400 for an ISO 15118-20 charger invoiced in 2026. It depends on bill 8577, still in committee: check that it has been passed before relying on it.
Which charger output should I choose: 7.4, 11 or 22 kW?
For most households, 7.4 kW single-phase or 11 kW three-phase: one night is enough to recharge a daily commute. 22 kW is only worthwhile if the car accepts 22 kW on alternating current. From 11 kW, the announced grant requires a certificate or notification from the grid operator.
Can a charger be installed in a co-owned car park?
Yes, with the approval of the general meeting, voted by a majority of the votes of all co-owners, as soon as the charger affects the common parts. No automatic right to plug exists to date; if refused, an appeal to the courts is possible. A collective installation with load management is often the best solution.
Is a reinforced socket enough to charge an electric car?
For low mileage, yes: a reinforced socket of about 3.7 kW adds around twenty kilometres per hour. It is not eligible for the grant, which is reserved for chargers above 3.7 kW, and allows neither solar control nor load management.
How much does a full charge at home cost?
For a 60 kWh battery charged from 10 to 100%, you need about 60 kWh including losses, i.e. nearly €13 at €0.22 per kWh. Per distance, that is about €3.70 per 100 km for a car using 17 kWh per 100 km.
Do I need to notify the grid operator to install a wallbox?
Yes in most cases: Creos requires a request (on myCreos, via the approved electrician) for any charger above 4.6 kW single-phase or of 7 kW or more three-phase, so for a 7.4 kW wallbox as well as an 11 kW one. A switch to three-phase is also requested from the grid operator, and above 7.4 kW the announced grant requires a certificate or notification from it.
