Up to 12 cars on one shared 3×35 A connection. Up to 12 plugs per pole between 6 + 6 parking spaces, or spread over more poles. Every car plugged in for at least 8 hours gets at least 50 km added, even with all 12 plugs in use (cars that charge on three phases). Cars can stay plugged in, and charging can follow a flexible energy contract.

Charging infrastructure is expensive because it is sized for the fastest case. Plaza Charge is sized for the common case: a car that stands still for many hours. One 3×35 A connection is shared by up to twelve cars. A car plugged in for at least 8 hours gets at least 50 km added, even when all twelve plugs are in use; this is guaranteed for cars that charge on three phases.

Because the cars share the connection, they can stay plugged in: there is no need to move a car when it is charged. And because a parked car has time, charging can follow a flexible energy contract and use the hours when energy is cheap.

The site never draws more than a set limit, and that limit can be lowered at peak hours. That keeps Plaza Charge clear of grid congestion: it does not ask for a bigger connection, and with GridShield the grid operator can lower the limit in an emergency.

## Key facts

| Specification | Value |
|---|---|
| Plugs | Up to 12 per pole, between 6 + 6 parking spaces; the 12 plugs can also be spread over more poles, for example 6 poles with 2 plugs |
| Grid connection | One 3×35 A connection, a standard size in the Netherlands, shared by all cars |
| Guaranteed minimum | At least 50 km added for every car plugged in for at least 8 hours, with all 12 plugs in use; more when fewer cars are charging. Guaranteed for cars that charge on three phases |
| Smart charging and grid congestion | The site never draws more than a set limit, which can be lowered at peak hours; with GridShield the grid operator can lower it in an emergency |
| Use | Overnight top-up for residents, employees, fleets; not fast charging |
| Always plugged in | Cars can stay plugged in after they are charged; nobody has to move their car to free the plug |
| Flexible energy contracts | Charging can follow the hours when energy is cheap, within the guaranteed minimum |
| Sites | Car parks, VvE garages, company lots, and DC fast-charging sites that want cheap overnight AC charging for taxis, vans and buses |
| Metering and authorisation | Per plug; NFC reader as the standard authorisation; details to be confirmed |
