Choose the funding path
The safe start is a case check. Federal funding, local programs, grid connection and operator duties are separate paths.
| Your situation | How to classify it | Next step |
|---|---|---|
| Private wallbox at home | No active nationwide KfW 442 new-application path. Check grid notification, electrician planning and local utility programs. | Check grid path |
| Apartment building or owners' association | Separate approval, load management, metering and any local subsidy. Do not commission work until the concrete funding path is checked. | Open shared-property path |
| Business or publicly accessible charging | Public charging points can trigger technical requirements and notification duties. | Choose charging infrastructure |
| Provider or installer needed | Compare providers after the use case is clear: private, shared, business or public. | Compare providers |
Grid notification and approval
The grid question is a core part of the project. Charging equipment must be notified before operation. More than 12 kVA requires prior approval. The electrician usually handles the notification.
| Point | What to check |
|---|---|
| Federal status | KfW 442 is no longer open for new applications. |
| Grid notification | Charging equipment must be notified to the grid operator before operation. |
| Approval | More than 12 kVA charging power requires prior grid-operator approval. |
| Public charging | Publicly accessible charging points can trigger notification and operator duties. |
| Local programs | City, state and utility programs each need current program evidence. |
Treat local funding as current program information
Utility and state programs can change quickly. Treat local subsidies as current program information, not as a fixed nationwide calculation. For a usable offer, prepare location, tariff or green-electricity evidence, installation type and timing of commissioning.
Compare providers after the use case and grid path are clear. The provider route remains grouped with the electric vehicle family.
