Vesteda charging plaza
smart driving, electric charging.
Welcome to Vesteda Charging Square
In collaboration with Orange Charging, we have created charging plazas at various locations that are easily accessible to residents and/or local residents.
Vesteda considers sustainable living important. Here, the resident and the happiness of living is central. We do this by both realizing a sustainable housing portfolio but also by contributing to sustainable solutions.
The demand for charging facilities at our parking facilities is increasing significantly, which is why Vesteda provides the parking space and Orange Charging arranges the charging station, maintenance, billing and help with problems with charging!
How the charging station works
🔌 Insert the charging cable into your electric car and into the charging station.
💳 Hold your charging card in front of the charging station to start the charging session.
🚗 Charge safely and easily!
🛑 End the charging session by holding your charging card in front of the pole again.
Neighbor's car fully loaded? What can I do?
If your neighbor has charged their electric car but it is still in the parking spot, you can try the following:
Friendly reminder
Kindly speak to your neighbor and remind him that the parking space is for shared use. Point out that other residents would also like to use the charging spot.
Mutual communication
Suggest setting up a system of mutual communication, such as through a shared app group. This allows residents to notify each other when they are done charging and release the parking space.
Report it to Vesteda
If the problem persists, report it to Vesteda. Vesteda may be able to take further steps to ensure efficient use of the charging spot. Report it in My Vesteda by creating a complaint through the Contact block with the subject of parking.
Remember that open communication is key, and working together to ensure everyone has access to the charging spot, this contributes to a pleasant and sustainable residential community.
Frequently asked questions
