If the acquisition of electric car charging points has become relevant in the housing association and the issue has been discussed among the company's shareholders and it has been decided to promote it, the first step is to order the housing association's charging survey.

The purpose of the mapping is to find out the charging needs, the electrical resources available to the housing association and how the charging points would be best implemented. During the survey, all the necessary information about the building society's needs, wishes and budget is collected, based on which we deliver a preliminary plan and offer for the implementation of the project.

Even if not all shareholders have the need to charge electric cars yet, it is worth noting that the number of electric cars is growing at a rapid pace all the time. Ready charging points or charging readiness in the housing association can also directly affect the value of the housing association and facilitate the sale of the apartment in the future.

The purpose of the survey is not only to find out the wishes and needs of the housing association, but also to review the electrical technical conditions of the property in order to carry out the project as a basis for the needs of the partners.

During the survey, we go over the needs with the company's representatives and ensure the possible limitations of the company's electrical system for the implementation of the project. If necessary, we also carry out electrical measurements, review the locations of charging stations and, if there are earthworks at the site,
we will look at the excavation points of the cabling together.

After the survey, we will send you an offer by e-mail based on the information collected for the implementation of the project. We always try to offer the best possible options for the destinations based on the company's needs.

Wolttinen maps both small and large housing associations and companies' charging needs free of charge throughout Finland. Contact our sales and order a free survey.

One of the most essential things to clarify in the survey is to find out the suitability of the electrical system for the charging system. Before contacting us, we recommend that the representative promoting the project obtain as much information as possible about the property's electrical systems, electrical drawings and information about the company's possible electrical renovations over the years.

We also recommend making a power data survey with the electricity company in advance, so that the property's consumption spikes can be clarified.

In some building societies, a decision and guidelines have been made for individual charging stations to be acquired as modifications by the partners. In general, in many locations it is perfectly safe to install a few charging stations within the existing capacity and cabling. However, it would be advisable for the housing company to create an overall picture of the property's possible limitations at the very beginning, so that the purchase of additional charging stations in the future would be easy and cost-effective.

In this way, equality of partners is also ensured in terms of charging points. An electric car should not be charged from a standard socket or heating pole.

When it comes to charging solutions for electric cars, you should aim for a future-proof choice from the start.

In many destinations, this means changes to the property's electrical systems, centers and power distribution, as well as the implementation of load management solutions. If you don't want charging stations for all parking spaces to begin with, the housing company can implement charging facilities at the locations, which makes it easy and cost-effective to acquire additional stations in the future, and you don't have to worry about the property's capacity being sufficient.

After implementing the download package, invoicing, pricing and user-specific management can be easily managed using the Woltti online service. The building company always decides on electricity pricing, and complete Spot pricing and solar charging are also possible. The online service can be used to manage several building societies and invoicing can be charged, e.g. like a water fee, once a year, or the invoicing can be left entirely to Wolttensen.

Yes, you can, ARA supports housing associations in the costs of purchasing charging points. Check the current support situation and read more about ARA here.

It is also worth noting that the law change that entered into force in 2021 requires building societies carrying out major renovations to also implement charging point preparations for all parking spaces. Completion means that in the future it should be possible to install an electric car charging station in all parking lots with ready-made cabling or using existing piping. The law change applies to all housing associations with more than 4 parking spaces.

There are several types of charging stations available, and their price is often determined by the features and capabilities of the device. The selected equipment should always be chosen in the long term, which according to our experience is often the most cost-effective option.

During the survey, we also find out which Charging devices are best suited to the target. We always offer the best option according to the needs, wishes and requirements of the building society or companies. Our customized solutions must meet the set requirements, but also be the most cost-effective option in the long run. With a customized charging solution, you can always choose the most suitable charging power and charging method for the target, in addition to the most suitable devices.

There are many questions related to the costs of charging solutions. If, for example, the parking spaces are owned by the housing association, as a rule, all partners participate, and in turn, the costs of the spaces owned by the partners are the responsibility of the owners. The decision on the costs of charging solutions and the procedure model is always made at the general meeting.

When implementing a charging solution, however, it is definitely worth thinking about the whole thing further into the future. If the object is decided to install only one or two charging stations, but the installation required expensive work, such as earthworks or demanding electrical changes, it is absolutely recommended to at least add charging capacity to several, if not all, locations. In this case, adding charging stations will be easy and cost-effective in the future.

Often, also adding charging stations or at least readiness increases the value of the property and the apartments of the partners.

A housing association, real estate or company can purchase the charging stations for their own with a one-time payment, but we also offer competitively priced, worry-free options for smart charging. Customized turnkey solutions also enable completely worry-free rental model packages, which include installation, equipment, maintenance and support services, without long-term commitment.

Effortless turnkey solutions and Plug-and-Play devices make installation and commissioning of the systems very easy - only electrical work is required!

According to our experience, each property is different, and many questions arise from both the property managers and the shareholders. Our expert always helps with all questions throughout the project and also after it.

If you have any questions regarding the download solutions, the Woltti online service or any other matter, we will also organize an on-site or remote presentation of our services and software demos as needed.

OCPP stands for Open Charge Point Protocol, which is an open communication protocol used by electric vehicle feeders or charging stations to communicate with backend management systems or charging networks. OCPP enables seamless interoperability between different charging station manufacturers and software suppliers, so the building company is not tied to only one device manufacturer or service provider.

Our own Woltti system is fully OCPP compatible and fulfills all possible wishes, solar charging option, the most versatile load management on the market (including the Woltti Meter service, with which you can measure electricity consumption or production at several points), SPOT pricing for electricity and a very easy-to-use invoicing system, with which you can manage several housing associations as needed.

Load management refers to a system that limits the power taken by the charging points and adjusts car charging to a lower level, thus ensuring that the system's capacity is not exceeded.

Load management can be implemented with several options or a combination of them, the system can consist of energy meters, cloud services or dynamic management solutions. Dynamic load management means that the stations connected to the system automatically adjust the charging power according to the amount of electricity available in the property. In general, this means that less electricity is available during the day because households are diligently using other devices in the home, such as stoves, ovens, washing machines and saunas. For this reason, the charging power is slightly less available during the day.
