Blog about EV chargers and installation in Catalonia
Practical advice to understand which charger you need, how much the installation may cost, how legal certification works and what you should consider before installing a charging point at home, in a community garage or at a company.
Clear information before installing your charger
Installing an EV charger is not just about choosing a good-looking model or comparing prices. You need to review the available power, the route from the meter, the type of garage, the necessary electrical protections, legal certification and, in many cases, whether it is advisable to add dynamic load balancing to avoid issues with the contracted power.
In the Recargauto blog, we bring together simple guides and practical explanations for customers who want to install an EV charger in Catalonia safely, with clear pricing and proper documentation. Our goal is to help you understand the options before requesting a quote or booking an installation.

Frequently asked questions about EV charger installation
Do I need permission from the community to install a charger?
In a community garage, the installation usually has to be notified to the community and a proper route must be planned from the meter or from the corresponding supply point.
Does the installation need legal certification?
Yes. A charging point installation must be carried out correctly and delivered with the relevant documentation, such as CIE and RISTIC when applicable.
Which charger do you recommend for most customers?
For many cases, we recommend Ohme Pro because it offers a good balance between app, connectivity, dynamic load balancing and ease of use. For installations with solar panels, V2C Trydan can also be a very interesting option.
Does the price depend a lot on cable distance?
Yes. Cable distance directly affects materials, installation time and the difficulty of the route. That is why at Recargauto we work with distance ranges to offer clear prices.
