Carport with EV charging station in Luxembourg
More and more owners want a carport that can accommodate, now or later, an electric vehicle charging station. Lux Art prepares the structure and the necessary cable routing, while the electrical installation of the charging station itself is carried out by a qualified electrician in line with applicable standards.
Anticipating cable routing at the design stage
Even if the station is not installed immediately, planning a conduit or cable path within the carport structure avoids having to drill or modify the structure later. This forward planning is decided at the initial design stage, in coordination with the electrician in charge of the project.
Choosing a practical location for the cable and socket
The position of the charging point should account for the usual length of charging cables, the planned parking spot and access to the main building’s electrical panel. A well-placed structural post can also serve as a support for the future unit, provided this is discussed beforehand.
Respecting each party’s role in the project
Lux Art works on the carport structure and can prepare a technical cable route, but the electrical connection, choice of charging station and commissioning are exclusively the responsibility of a qualified electrician, in line with applicable standards. This clear division avoids any ambiguity about each party’s responsibility.
Planning this project with Lux Art
Lux Art supports clients who want a carport ready for a future charging station, coordinating where needed with the electrician chosen by the client. An initial discussion clarifies the planned electrical needs and adapts the structure accordingly, without encroaching on the electrician’s trade.
