UNDERGROUND CHARGING POINT FOR NATURAL STREET SCENE

RESIDENTIAL AREA ZEIST

"Everyone was immediately enthusiastic when the idea was presented to us."

The houses are guests in nature

Some residents of the Kerckebosch residential area in Zeist opt for a natural street scene when it comes to electric charging.

Kerckebosch in Zeist is a beautiful sustainable neighborhood under construction. In the coming years, work will be done on the renovation of a neighborhood with lifetime homes and new or improved facilities. It is a wooded area and Kerckebosch is increasingly seen as an example of sustainability for other residential areas in the Netherlands. In addition to the energy square, there are various special sustainable initiatives in Kerckebosch, including the StreetPlug.

The homes are guests in nature. This is also how some residents of the Prinses Catharina Amalialaan see it, they have opted for a charging facility on their driveway that is integrated into the street surface. You hardly see them, so you don't have to deal with bright lighting from charging stations, for example. They decided that would be unsightly. It works well, they are easy to use and you don't actually see them.
