The user pays Parking Energy for the electricity used and Parking Energy compensates the invoices from electricity providers to the housing company/property. The user is identified at the charging point using an NFC tag. The tag is delivered to the user in connection with the installation of the charging point. The tag can also be ordered here free of charge.

If the outdoor electrical outlet breaks during the warranty period, its manufacturer is responsible for repairing any possible faults provided they are not the result of vandalism or misuse.
Electrical system
Yes, it is. Electric vehicle charging cables are equipped with limiters, which automatically limit the charging current to a safe level. Parking Energy’s charging devices also have active heat control, which will shut off the power automatically if the temperature is at risk of rising too high.
It takes about 3–4 hours to charge an equivalent of a distance of about 50 km. A such, it is possible to charge for nearly 200 km worth of distance overnight (10–12 hours).
As a rule, electric vehicles are sufficiently charged overnight, which means that they are no longer adding load to the electrical grid in the morning when the heating of cars with internal combustion engines begins.
