Charging Stations for Apartment Buildings and Housing Associations
Every owner charges at their own parking space. In most buildings the existing grid connection is enough, each station meters consumption separately, and you come to the general meeting of owners with the paperwork ready.

Three Questions That Decide It
The grid connection, the billing and the consent of the other owners — the three things a project in an apartment building stands on.
Grid connection
„Is the building grid connection enough?“
In most buildings it is. Dynamic load management (DLM) continuously watches the consumption of the building and shares among the charging stations only the power nobody else is using at that moment. When consumption in the building rises, the stations back off. At night they charge at full power.
The rating of the main circuit breaker therefore does not have to be increased, and owners also avoid the permanently higher monthly payment for reserved capacity. That is usually the biggest worry board members bring to us. The system also handles gradual expansion — from two stations up to entire underground garages.
The main breaker stays as it isBilling
„How do we bill consumption fairly?“
Each station meters with its own certified electricity meter — as conclusively as the meter from the distribution company. The board or the property manager sees the consumption of every parking space separately in the Cloud app, sets tariffs and exports the accounting data in one click.
At the general meeting you get everything the decision needs from us: the technical design, the budget and answers to the questions that usually come up during the vote.
Benefits for Residential Buildings
Simple and transparent charging in residential buildings
DLM for HOAs
Dynamic load management distributes power among all charging points. No expensive connection capacity upgrades needed.
Individual Metering
Each station measures consumption separately. Clear reports for billing individual owners. Multiple tariff options.
Gradual Expansion
Start with fewer stations and add as demand grows. With cabling prepared for further bays, a new station is mostly just installation. Load management (DLM) also needs measurement on the building's main supply and a shared data network in which the stations and the control module can see each other.
Authorized Access
We set the station to charge only with a registered RFID card (by default, authorization is switched off). Consumption is recorded per card.
Cloud Management
Simple administration via MyBox Cloud. Overview of usage, consumption, and status of all stations in one place.
The process
How the Cooperation Works
From the first survey of the building to regular consumption reports
Consultation and survey of the building
We assess the main circuit breaker, the wiring, the garages and the charging locations, with no commitment. We find out how many stations can be connected right away and what further expansion will require.
Design and quotation
You get a concrete proposal: the number and placement of stations, the way power is managed, the billing model and the price — in a form you can put in front of the owners as it is.
Approval at the general meeting
We supply the materials for the meeting and help answer questions from owners. The most frequent ones are about the capacity of the grid connection, about billing and about who pays for the installation.
Installation with minimal disruption
Mounting, wiring, inspection and system setup. Owners can use the garages normally the whole time.
Operation, service and reports
We monitor the stations remotely and solve most issues without a site visit. The board can generate a consumption report for billing from a template in MyBox Cloud at any time; it arrives by e-mail.
Case Study
SVJ Trnkovo náměstí, Prague: 36 charging stations in underground garages
An apartment building in the Barrandov district of Prague equipped roughly 15 % of its parking spaces with smart MyBox Plus wallboxes. MyBox Smart Load Management distributes power evenly, each station meters consumption with a certified electricity meter, and access is limited to authorised users.

Subsidies and Financing — Straight Talk
There is currently no direct subsidy for charging stations in apartment buildings.
until November 2025
CZK 25,000 per charging point
Nová zelená úsporám supported charging points in apartment buildings at the time.

No direct subsidy is open
In the current stage of Nová zelená úsporám a charging station for housing associations is eligible only together with photovoltaics, as a preferential loan, not a subsidy.

We track the status for you
Subsidy programmes keep changing; we check the rules for apartment buildings regularly.
Thanks to load management, infrastructure costs stay low even without a subsidy. The most expensive item — increasing the rating of the main circuit breaker and the permanently higher monthly payments that come with it — is usually something you do not have to deal with at all.
For portfolio managers
For Property Management Companies and Housing Cooperatives
Do you manage several buildings? You will see all of them in a single account. MyBox Cloud can separate individual properties and generate a consumption report for each building separately from a template; the report is sent to you by e-mail. Roles for technicians and accountants are set up by MyBox on request.
All properties managed from one place, with separate permissions for individual buildings.
Documents for billing owners: a report for any period from a template, export to CSV or XLSX.

Why Housing Associations Choose MyBox
We are a Czech manufacturer. We develop, manufacture, install, operate and service the stations — including our own management software. One company, one responsibility.

01Can our electrical installation handle the charging?
In the vast majority of buildings yes, and without increasing the rating of the main circuit breaker. Dynamic load management shares among the stations only the power the building is not using at that moment and watches the main breaker. A specific assessment of your connection point is part of the free consultation.
02How is billing to individual owners handled?
Each station has its own certified electricity meter and consumption is recorded against a specific user. From MyBox Cloud you export an overview for the chosen period and carry it over into your billing — whether you invoice directly or through advance payments for services. Your housing association chooses the model.
03Do all owners have to agree to the installation?
The consent of absolutely every owner is usually not required — changes to common parts are decided by the general meeting with the majority required by law and by your bylaws. We will prepare materials you can use to defend the proposal at the meeting.
04Can we start with two stations and expand gradually?
Yes, that is the most common approach. The installation is designed so that adding another station means only mounting it — the cable preparation and the load management do not change with the expansion. You pay for stations for actual applicants, not for infrastructure standing idle.
05How do we stop someone else from charging?
By default the station charges without authorization, so when commissioning it we set it to accept registered RFID cards only. Anyone without a card cannot charge. Every charging session is recorded against a specific card, so consumption cannot be pinned on a neighbour.
06Is there a subsidy for charging stations for housing associations?
Not a direct subsidy. Nová zelená úsporám offers housing associations a preferential loan in which a charging station is an eligible cost only together with photovoltaics (at least 5 kWp, connected to at least two flats). More in the Subsidies and financing section above.
07Who takes care of operation and what happens in case of a fault?
The stations are remotely monitored. We detect and solve most issues remotely. When a technician is needed, our own service team comes — we manufacture the stations, so we are not waiting for parts or for a third party.
08How much does it cost?
The price is made up of the stations (the MyBox Plus wallbox with certified metering from CZK 33,500 excluding VAT) and the installation, which differs for every building — it depends on the length of the cable routes and the condition of the wiring. That is why we start with a survey and you get a quotation tailored to your building, ready to put in front of the owners.
