Buyer’s Guide – Electric vehicle charging stations in housing companies

Walle is the answer to electric vehicle charging needs

Electric vehicles are rapidly becoming common in Finland, and their charging infrastructure has become one of the key development targets for housing companies. Charging points are an ecological investment that increases a housing company’s value and appeal.

1. Benefits of charging points for housing associations

The law requires housing companies to ensure that new builds and extensive renovations include the planning and installing electric vehicle charging points or at least charging-point readiness. This especially applies to housing companies embarking on construction projects. However, many housing companies decide at the same time to install actual charging points. Demand for charging points is already high and growing.

In addition to the legal obligation, charging points benefit housing companies in other ways:

• Increase in property value: Charging points are a significant attraction that raises the property’s value and appeal in the eyes of current and future residents
• Current and future needs: Modular solutions ensure that a housing company can start small and expand its infrastructure as demand grows
• Environmental responsibility: The housing company supports sustainable mobility, which is both ecological and economical in the long term

2. Why choose Walle?

When choosing the most suitable charging solution, it is good to consider a few key points:

• Usage requirements: determine how many charging points are needed now and how many are possible.
• Wall-mount or bollard? All Walle chargers can be installed on a wall or a bollard.
• User authentication and billing: Walle charging stations can be integrated with services such as eParking, which enable seamless user authentication, energy consumption monitoring and billing within the housing company. Other billing options are available upon request.
• Installation flexibility: Thanks to our network of reliable and skilled installers for Walle charging stations, partners are available across Finland.
• Scalability: In addition to current needs, increasing the number of charging points may become necessary. In that case, it is essential to ensure that identical and visually matching units remain available.
  • Our Walle 66 Tupla model, the latest in the Walle product family, enables charging two cars with a single charging station.
