Reliable charging at Andreas Ravelli’s summer house on Öland

For over 32 years, the former football player and entrepreneur Andreas Ravelli and his family have had their summer house in Borgholm, Öland. Recently, Ravelli acquired a plug-in hybrid and quickly realized the need for a proper charging station to safely charge his car at the house, which was built in 1906 and holds great sentimental value to the family. He chose the GARO Entity Compact, and selecting GARO was an easy decision for Ravelli.

Frequently asked questions wallbox at home

Here you will find a selection of our most frequently asked questions. Can't find what you're looking for? Check out our FAQ here.

There are many reasons why you must charge your electric or hybrid car in a wallbox and not in a wall socket. Here are some of the reasons:

  • Unlike wall sockets, GARO’s wallboxes are also compatible with load balancing, which means that the charging output adapts to the electricity consumption of other devices without the risk of tripping the main fuse.
  • A wallbox is both safer and more secure. A wall socket is not designed for the heavy and sustained loads that occur during electric vehicle charging. Using a standard wall socket can trip fuses, and, in a worst-case scenario, can result in overheating and a fire risk.
  • Sweden’s National Electrical Safety Board advises against the regular use of a standard wall socket for charging.
  • Using a wallbox charges your car faster.

The fact that you add load balancing when you buy your wallbox is important since it can help you ensure that the total load does not exceed what your home can cope with when you charge your car. It is an important safety aspect and ensures that your house, electrical system and car work together in a safe way. How load balancing works:

You come home from work and connect your car to the wallbox, which puts a load on your home’s electricity consumption. A short time later, you start preparing dinner and turn on the cooker. As the evening air starts to cool, the heat pump also starts. The load balancing system immediately detects any increase in electricity use. GARO Entity Balance then adapts to the greater load by lowering the charging output or fully switches off charging output during that time. Once the household demand decreases, the charging output restarts or is increased again without tripping the main fuse.

No, according to Swedish electrical installation regulations, wallboxes must be installed by a certified electrician. Find your nearest electrician or retailer here.

If your wallbox does not work, contact the electrician responsible for the installation.
