Charging your electric car at home is two to three times cheaper than at a public charging point — and the Luxembourg State subsidises the installation by up to €1,400. With the 2026 Klimabonus Mobilitéit, fitting a charging station (wallbox) at home has never been more worthwhile. Here are the prices, the grants and the points to watch when installing your home EV charging station.

Why install a charging station at home?
More than 80% of electric vehicle charging is done at home. A dedicated charging station has several advantages over a simple household socket:
- Safety: a standard socket is not designed for prolonged, high-intensity charging and can overheat. A wallbox includes the necessary protections.
- Speed: a 7.4 kW charging station recharges around 4 to 5 times faster than a standard socket (2.3 kW).
- Cost: charging at home is far cheaper than at public charging points, especially when paired with solar panels for self-consumption.
- Smart control: intelligent charging stations adjust the charge according to the electricity tariff and the available power.
How much does a home charging station cost?
The budget breaks down into two items: the hardware and the installation by an electrician.
| Item | Price range |
|---|---|
| Basic charging station (up to 7.4 kW) | €400 – €900 |
| Smart charging station (OCPP, controllable) | €900 – €1,500 |
| Installation by a certified electrician | €300 – €900 |
| Total installed | €800 – €2,200 |
The installation price depends on the distance between the electrical panel and the location of the charging station, whether the panel needs upgrading, and the type of wiring (single-phase or three-phase).
The 2026 Klimabonus Mobilitéit grant
The Klimabonus Mobilitéit covers 50% of the cost excluding VAT of installing a private charging station, with caps depending on the technology level of the station:
| Type of charging station | Maximum grant |
|---|---|
| Standard station (> 3.7 kW) | up to €750 |
| Smart station (OCPP 1.6+) | up to €1,200 |
| ISO 15118-20:2022-compatible station | up to €1,400 |
The grant applies to invoices dated between 1 January 2026 and 31 December 2030. The application is made online via MyGuichet.lu, and the entitlement to the grant expires one year after 31 December of the invoice year — so don’t delay submitting your application.
Tip: choosing a smart charging station compatible with OCPP or ISO 15118-20 not only doubles the grant but also lets you control the charge — ideal if you generate your own solar electricity.
Worked example: a 7.4 kW smart charging station
Take the installation of a smart charging station in Esch-sur-Alzette for a cost of €1,800 excluding VAT:
- Cost of the installation (excl. VAT): €1,800
- Klimabonus grant (50%, capped at €1,200): €900
- Net cost to you: €900 (excl. VAT)
Combined with a photovoltaic installation, a controllable charging station lets you recharge the vehicle with the solar energy produced during the day — further reducing the cost per kilometre.
The exact amounts depend on the charging station model and your installation. Check your eligibility on guichet.public.lu or with our aid calculator.
Installation: the points to check
Installing a charging station must always be carried out by a certified electrician in Luxembourg. A few checkpoints:
- The electrical panel: the charging station needs a dedicated circuit with a circuit breaker and residual-current protection (type A or B depending on the station).
- The available power: above 7.4 kW single-phase, a switch to three-phase may be necessary.
- The location: distance to the panel, weather protection if the station is outdoors, and cable accessibility.
- Compliance: the installation must meet the applicable standards and be declared in order to qualify for the grant.
Choosing the right installer
Entrusting the installation to a verified professional avoids nasty surprises and ensures eligibility for the grant:
- Compare several quotes detailing hardware, installation and commissioning.
- Check the electrician’s accreditation — on tack.lu, every company is registered and verified in Luxembourg.
- Plan ahead for your future needs: a second vehicle, solar pairing, dynamic load management.

FAQ
What grant is available to install a charging station in Luxembourg in 2026?
The Klimabonus Mobilitéit covers 50% of the cost excluding VAT, capped at €750 for a standard station, €1,200 for a smart OCPP 1.6+ station, and €1,400 for an ISO 15118-20:2022-compatible station, for invoices issued between 2026 and 2030.
Can I charge my car on a normal socket?
It’s possible but not recommended for regular use: a household socket is not designed for prolonged charging and can overheat. A dedicated charging station is safer and up to 4 to 5 times faster.
Do I need a certified electrician to fit a charging station?
Yes. Installing a wallbox must be carried out by a certified electrician in Luxembourg, both for safety reasons and to qualify for the Klimabonus grant.
How much does an installed charging station cost?
Budget between €800 and €2,200 installed depending on the model (basic or smart) and the complexity of the installation. After the Klimabonus grant, the net cost to you often starts around €500 to €900.
How do I apply for the Klimabonus Mobilitéit grant?
The application is made online via MyGuichet.lu, on presentation of the paid invoice. The entitlement to the grant expires one year after 31 December of the invoice year.
