Charging station with a fixed cable
A charging station with a fixed cable is a good choice if you are certain that you will never need to change the cable. This type of charging station offers convenience and safety, as the cable is always ready for use. At Energie Install, we often recommend charging stations with a fixed cable if the installation is relatively straightforward.
Charging station without a fixed cable
A charging station without a fixed cable offers more flexibility. You can charge different types of cars and easily replace the cable if necessary. This option is ideal if you do not yet know which car you will have in the future or if you change cars frequently.
