Cable Trough
Charging from home via a cable duct
Don’t have a parking spot on your own property—such as a driveway, garage, or carport—but want to charge your car using your own electricity? In some cases, this is possible. If there are public parking spaces along the curb near your home, you can submit a request for a cable trench. You can run your own charging cable through this trench.
Installation and Costs of a Cable Trough
- The municipality will install the cable trench for you. You only pay the cost of the materials, which is €300, including VAT. The municipality will cover the installation costs;
- The cable trench tiles are and will remain the property of the municipality of Voorschoten;
