For residents of apartment blocks and housing estates

You have an e-bike, but nowhere to charge it in your building?

You don't need to run a separate cable from your apartment to the garage. A shared bike room can run on one power feed, with separate access for each resident.

You'll get materials to hand to the building manager right away. Sending us your building details doesn't commit you to anything.

Why charging an e-bike in a block is often a problem

No sockets in the bike room

The room exists, but there's no socket. Residents end up carrying the battery up to the apartment or down to the basement.

The building manager won't approve a private cable

Approving an individual connection means another cable running through the shared areas.

No one knows who should pay for the electricity

Without metering, usage can't be attributed to one person, so the cost ends up in the shared-area bills.

No one knows where to start

It's unclear who should raise it, who to raise it with, and what to bring.

One installation can serve several residents

You don't need a separate cable run from each apartment. If the building's electrical setup allows it, the ChargeGo Box runs on one shared circuit, and each user gets their own access with their energy use metered separately.

The usual approach
Apartment 1
own cable
Apartment 2
own cable
Apartment 3
own cable
Apartment 4
own cable
Apartment 5
own cable
Apartment 6
own cable
Apartment 7
own cable
Apartment 8
own cable

Every apartment means a separate wiring job, a separate approval, and another cable through the shared areas.

How you use the station

1
Plug in your own charger

The same one you use at home. No new equipment to buy.

2
Start charging

From the phone app, or with a code at the socket.

3
The bike charges

In the designated spot, on the building's dedicated circuit.

4
The system logs the usage

Separately for your charging point and your account.

Individual access

Access to a charging point is granted to one specific person.

Energy metering

Measured separately at every charging point and for every user.

Optional billing

The building can leave charging free, or bill for the energy used.

Fixed power limit

Enforced electronically at every charging point.

Built-in protection

Residual-current, overcurrent and surge protection inside the enclosure.

Overview for the administrator

Who has access, what's happening at the station, and how much energy was drawn.

For owners' associations and housing cooperatives

One shared installation for every charging point.
Access limited to authorised residents.
Separate metering of energy use.
Room to add more users later.
An optional alarm panel with a smoke detector.

What will the owners' association ask?

You don't have to convince the board of a specific device on your own. The materials you get after sending us your building details answer the questions they'll ask.

"We don't allow charging in the garage here"

The State Fire Service recommends charging with the original charger and advises against extension cords and power strips.

Here, charging runs on a dedicated circuit, with protection built into the unit's enclosure and a fixed power limit at every charging point. An alarm panel with a smoke detector can be added as an option.

What happens after you send us the details

  1. 1
    Send us a few details about your building

    You answer five simple questions. No installation documentation needed.

  2. 2
    We send you the materials

    A ready-to-send message for the building manager, a sample letter as a PDF, and a data sheet.

  3. 3
    You hand them to the building manager

    By email from your own address, or as a letter.

  4. 4
    The building manager decides whether to look into an installation

    The decision and the timeline are up to the board or the administrator.

  5. 5
    We handle the paperwork with the building manager

    If they get in touch with us, we work out the technical terms and prepare a quote.

Note: we don't contact your building manager on your behalf. You hand over the materials yourself, and they can get in touch with us directly.

Is my building suitable?

Usually it's enough that the building has a shared bike room or a section of the garage where charging points can be set up. The options depend on the existing electrical installation and site conditions.

You don't need the building's connected power capacity or its electrical documentation to send us the details.

What still needs to be worked out
  • Whether there's a room or a designated area in the garage.
  • How many residents actually want to charge bikes.
  • What electrical supply needs to be brought to the installation point.
  • What to hand the building manager so they can make a decision.

Tell us about your building

Five questions you can answer from memory.

What city is the building in?
Do you have a bike room or a shared garage?
How many people in the building might want to charge a bike?
A rough estimate is fine.
Have you already talked to the building manager about this?
What's the biggest problem right now?
Where should we send it?
This address will receive a ready-made message for the building manager and a technical data sheet.

Sending this doesn't commit you to anything.

FAQ

Questions residents ask first

It comes down to the building's rules and the installation design. In the regulations we reviewed we found no ban and no requirements addressing bike charging directly. A resident can ask the owners' association or housing cooperative to approve a shared station, and they can adopt it by resolution; the building manager sets the procedure and its wording.
