Terms of the municipality

Before a charging station can be placed, the City of Tilburg reviews the application thoroughly. The application is assessed for the necessity of installing one or more new charging stations, using several criteria. The criteria that must be met are:

  • There is no existing public charging point(s) within 150 meters of the application
  • The nearest installed charge point or charging location has an average usage of 900 kWh or more per charge point in the past six months.
  • The nearest installed charging point or charging location has more than three unique users per charging point in the past six months.

Roadmap of your application process with the municipality of Tilburg

The City of Tilburg uses the following process for applying for a charging station:

  • A CPO requests the municipality of Tilburg to enter into a contract in which the CPO has the right to request the municipality for private permission to install charging stations
  • After the contract is signed, a CPO requests permission to install a charging station and asks that a traffic decree be issued for that purpose
  • The request is then reviewed
  • Upon approval, the municipality makes a traffic decision
  • After the traffic decision is made, we can proceed with charging station installation, operation and management of the charging stations

Location determination

When an application is submitted to the municipality, the charging station applicant makes a proposal for the exact location. The municipality then evaluates this proposal and checks whether the location meets a number of criteria. The most important criteria is that the surface on which the potential charging station should be installed is owned by the municipality of Tilburg. This is because the municipality is not responsible for surfaces outside the municipality. Of course, it is also important that passage and safety for other traffic is guaranteed. Should there be any reconstructions or other infrastructural works on the schedule that make the installation of the charging stations unsuitable, we will look for more suitable locations. Before the application is made, Opcharge inspects the possibilities for various locations with a professional eye. With our years of experience in this industry and installing various charging stations, we have the knowledge of suitable locations for the charging stations.

Costs and fees

Unlike your own charging station, applying for a public charging point in the municipality of Tilburg does not involve any costs. Having the charging station installed is also completely free of charge to you. Even the management of the charging stations (think of taking care of cables, hardware and the hosting of the charging stations) is completely taken care of by Opcharge. Before requesting the public charging stations in cooperation with us, Opcharge carries out a thorough check at the location where you would like the installation of the charging stations to take place. If our check reveals that the power connection at the location in question does not meet the requirements, the power connection must be reinforced. These costs will be charged. Opcharge does charge electricity rates. These electricity tariffs, which you use for charging your electric car, vary per municipality. Also, the electricity rates, which you pay per kWh, also fluctuate per municipality all the time. This is why we cannot promise you a fixed amount per kWh. An overview of the electricity rates in Tilburg can be found here.
