Charging that works alongside everything else in your home
An EV charger is more than a high-power socket. A good installation starts at the meter: what your contracted capacity is (the maximum power agreed with your electricity distributor), what the distribution board and the cable can handle, what happens when the heat pump, the oven and the car all draw power at the same time – and how the car can still be charged by the time you need it.
MindzenSmart installs smart wallboxes in Budapest and the surrounding area for family houses, apartment building car parks and business sites – from the survey through installation to integration. We treat the dedicated electrical circuit, the required protection, metering, load management, the solar connection and smart home integration as one system.
What problem does it solve?
A well-planned charger installation can help you:
- have the car charged by the time you need it, without overloading the main fuse
- make the most of the available capacity with dynamic load management
- put your solar surplus to targeted use
- share power and keep a record of charging sessions when several cars and users rely on it
- set up metering and billing in an apartment building or business setting
- prevent unauthorised use with RFID, mobile or other identification
- make charging, building management and the smart home work together
A charger can only do as much as the grid behind it allows. If your contracted capacity is too low, even the smartest charger can't make up for it – at best, it can share it out well.
Good to know: installing an EV charger is skilled electrical work. It needs a dedicated, correctly sized circuit and the protection specified for the charger; charging long-term from a household socket, an extension lead or undersized wiring is risky.

Dynamic load management and solar integration
Using a meter installed at the main meter, the charger can continuously see the property’s consumption and give the spare capacity to the car. If a large appliance switches on, charging can scale back and then speed up again later. With several charging points, the same logic distributes the available power between them.
If data from the inverter or the grid meter is accessible, charging can also be matched to the surplus generated on site. We always check compatibility based on the exact inverter, meter and charger models.
Which brands do we work with – and why?
We favour open protocols, the option of local control, long-term manufacturer support and load management that suits the specific use.

A premium charger developed and made in Hungary, which we recommend for high-end homes, apartment buildings and guest accommodation. OCPP 1.6J, local API and Modbus connectivity all at once, with an optional certified (MID) meter and an operator dashboard – so it is equally suited to smart home integration and multi-user billing. A Hungarian development team and local support.
Smart chargers for family houses, headquartered in Timișoara, developed and manufactured in the EU; the charger can be controlled over the local network without the cloud, so load management and solar integration keep running without internet. 7.4 and 22 kW versions, an energy-meter version for dynamic load management, and OCPP support towards management systems. Excellent value for money. The same manufacturer also offers DC fast chargers for business sites: single- and dual-connector charging pedestals up to several hundred kW, with OCPP management and the option of paid guest charging – so on a business site, the AC charging points and the DC fast charger can be run as one system, from one piece of software.
A Swedish family of smart chargers that scales on the same logic from a single charger to an apartment building car park. The chargers coordinate power with each other over a local radio mesh – balancing keeps running without internet – and the Zen power meter matches charging to the main fuse of the house or building and to solar production, with automatic phase switching. Socket version, OCPP 1.6J and 2.0.1 directly from the charger to any management system, a certified (MID) metering version for billing, a housing rated up to +50 °C, and a 5-year warranty. We recommend it where multiple charging points, solar and billing come together – or simply when you need a good-value, future-proof socketed charger.
A Norwegian charger family for homes, apartment buildings and company car parks. The Go and Go 2 suit smaller installations; the Go 2 also offers MID-certified metering and charging that can follow solar surplus. The Pro is built for expandable, shared systems, with dynamic load and phase balancing and central monitoring. We choose the right model and billing method to suit the site.
A Barcelona-based manufacturer of DC rapid chargers for business sites, fleets and accommodation. The wall-mounted Lyra Lite comes in 30 or 40 kW and can be limited to 20 kW in software, so it can already run on a 3×63 A supply. The Lyra is a 60–80 kW unit with two connectors, the Lynx a 120–240 kW pedestal unit. OCPP-compatible, with RFID authentication and a touchscreen, and card payment if needed. We recommend it where a lot of energy has to be delivered during short stops.
For when the lowest upfront cost is the main priority. A Turkish manufacturer with its own development and production; a sturdy wallbox in 7.4 and 22 kW versions, with a socket or tethered cable, RFID identification and OCPP 1.6J, and optionally a MID meter. A simple, reliable entry-level charger – load management can be added with an external meter. The same manufacturer also offers DC fast chargers for business sites, fleets and public charging points.
A popular wallbox among Tesla owners. With its Type 2 connector it charges any electric car, updates over Wi-Fi and shares power across up to six units; in the Tesla app, vehicle charging and the charger are visible in one place. It can also be integrated into a smart home system. You get the best price in the Tesla app, so it's worth buying it directly there – we then take care of the installation and integration.
We can also configure an existing charger from another manufacturer and add load management and integration, provided it supports the necessary protocols – OCPP, Modbus or a documented API. On request, we also offer a portable smart charger with a CEE plug, for use with a properly installed CEE socket – for a holiday home, a rented flat, or anyone who takes their charger between two locations.
Charger and smart home together
An EV charger is one of the largest controllable loads in a property, which makes it a natural part of energy management. Charging can be matched to the current solar surplus, the electricity tariff and the operation of other large appliances. At the same time, we set up the basic operation so that charging the car does not depend unnecessarily on the smart home hub or the internet.
Frequently asked questions
What size charger do I need?
The car’s on-board charger sets the limit: most European models accept 11 kW on three phases, some 7.4 kW on a single phase, and only a smaller share 22 kW. For home use, 11 kW is the most common choice – more than enough for everyday driving. At the survey, we start from your car model and your contracted capacity.
Can it be done without increasing the capacity?
At many sites, yes, with dynamic load management: the charger only draws as much power as the rest of the house is currently leaving free. With a 3×16 A connection, the charger scales back at peak times, and at night, when the house uses little, it can take a larger share of the spare capacity. With a single-phase connection, you can charge with a single-phase charger at lower power; if the contracted capacity is very low, however, an increase is unavoidable – we can tell you this with confidence after the survey.
Can I use surplus solar power?
Yes, if production and consumption data is available from the inverter or the grid meter and the charger supports this kind of control. Lektri.co (directly with a compatible inverter, even without a meter), NexBlue and Voltie do; Amina does so via the smart home hub, and the Tesla Wall Connector alongside a Powerwall. We check compatibility based on the exact inverter and charger models and your billing arrangement.
Does it need internet?
Not for charging: the charger communicates with the car on its own, and on most chargers load management gets its data locally from the meter; where it is cloud-based, we point this out in the quote. The app, remote start, firmware updates and OCPP-based billing do need a network connection. We put the charger on a separate network for smart devices so that it cannot see your personal devices.
Can more than one car be charged?
Yes. Power can be shared between two chargers statically or dynamically. In apartment building and company car parks, Voltie and NexBlue can both manage several charging points from a shared supply, with certified metering per user – both locally, without internet. Where data cabling isn’t possible in the garage, we also have a solution that communicates over the power cable. Where many charging points are needed – an underground car park, a fleet car park, an office building – we recommend the Zaptec system: it offers one of the most advanced dynamic load balancing systems on the market, and its cabling is designed specifically for multi-point installations, which makes it cheaper to install.
Does our company need a DC fast charger?
Only if your vehicles charge during the day with short dwell times, or if large-battery commercial vehicles need to be charged between shifts. If the fleet is parked at the site overnight, several AC charging points with dynamic load management deliver the same result for a fraction of the cost. A DC charging pedestal together with the grid connection it needs can cost up to an order of magnitude more. So at the survey we first look at dwell times and contracted capacity, and only then talk about DC.
How can billing be handled in an apartment building?
In two ways: either the charger is supplied from behind the apartment’s own electricity meter, or – usually the better solution – it runs from a shared supply with a certified (MID) meter built into the charger; in that case the operator portal bills the kWh to each user.
What is the difference between AC and DC charging?
Wallboxes (7.4–22 kW) deliver energy as alternating current (AC), and the car’s on-board charger converts it to direct current for the battery. With AC charging, the speed is therefore limited not only by the wallbox but also by the on-board charger (7.4 or 11 kW on many models). A DC fast charger (from 30 kW) skips this step: it charges the battery directly with direct current, so the on-board charger’s rating doesn’t matter – the limit is set by the battery and the charger together.
What are the on-board charger and the on-board inverter?
The battery stores direct current (DC), but the electric motor runs on alternating current (AC). The on-board charger converts AC mains power to DC when charging; the on-board inverter produces AC for the motor from the battery’s DC while driving (and works the other way round when braking, to recover energy). So for AC charging at home, the on-board charger’s power rating is what matters – look for “on-board charger” on your car’s spec sheet.
Which connector do I need?
In Europe, Type 2 is the standard for AC charging (CCS2 for DC); every AC charger we install comes with it. A tethered (fixed-cable) version is more convenient, while a socketed version (used with your own cable) is more flexible and cheaper from several manufacturers; shared chargers in apartment buildings are usually socketed.
Who can carry out the installation, and will I get documentation?
Connecting the charger is skilled electrical work, carried out by an electrician: a dedicated circuit, a correctly sized cable and residual current protection to the standard. The initial electrical safety inspection (under MSZ HD 60364-6, the Hungarian standard) is carried out by an authorised inspector, and we hand over the report for every installation – you may need it for the warranty and for your insurer. If a capacity increase is needed, we also handle the application to the electricity distributor.
What happens if the charger breaks down?
The chargers are covered by the manufacturer’s warranty, and the installation by our own warranty. Most networked chargers can be diagnosed remotely, so we can fix some faults without a site visit; in other cases, we book an appointment as part of Operation and service.
