What HS code applies to AC 11kW EVSE imported into Portugal?

EVSE typically falls under HS heading 8537 (Boards, panels, consoles for electric control). The exact 6–8 digit national line must be confirmed via the EU TARIC database for Portugal before quoting landed cost.

Which compliance marks are required for AC 11kW EVSE in Portugal?

CE marking under the Low Voltage Directive (2014/35/EU) and EMC Directive (2014/30/EU) is mandatory. Chargers sold in the EU must conform to EN IEC 61851-1 (conducted charging) and the connector to EN 62196-2 (Type 2). Confirm certificate numbers with the OEM before shipment.

Is this payback number a quote?

No. The payback and TCO figures on this page are model outputs from a 25-year scenario TCO scenario. They depend on operator-set tariff and utilisation inputs, OEM FOB price, EU duty and PT VAT — all PENDING — confirm via EU TARIC and AT before any quote.

What is the typical AC 11kW charging speed at a hotel?

An 11kW three-phase AC EVSE delivers approximately 11 kW continuously at 400 V, three-phase, refilling roughly 50–70 km of range per hour of connection depending on the EV's onboard AC charger acceptance rate.

1. Use-case overview: 11kW AC EVSE at a Portuguese hotel

Destination charging at hotels typically uses three-phase AC Level 2 EVSE. An 11 kW unit operates on 400 V three-phase and refills a typical EV overnight or during a half-day guest stay. Portugal's tourism market — Algarve, Lisbon, Porto and the Douro corridor — sees demand from EV-driving visitors from Germany, France, the Netherlands and the UK, where EV adoption is higher.

Reference scope: a 4-star hotel installing 6 charging bays (one EVSE + Type 2 socket per bay), wall-mounted or pedestal, with RFID activation and OCPP 1.6 JSON back-office compatibility.

8. Sensitivity (illustrative — not a quote)

The scenario TCO engine assumes 25 kWh/day/bay and €0.18/kWh buy / €0.45/kWh sell. The matrix below holds CapEx (€16,800), 6 bays and fixed OpEx constant and varies utilisation and tariff for the first-year payback check.

Utilisation ↓ / Tariff (EUR/kWh) →	0.15	0.18	0.22	0.28
15 kWh/day/bay	3.0	3.6	4.6	6.6
25 kWh/day/bay (base)	1.7	1.36 (base, undiscounted)	2.0	2.7
40 kWh/day/bay	1.1	1.1	1.4	1.7

Cells assume CapEx of €16,800, 6 bays, sell price €0.45/kWh, fixed OpEx €2,400/yr. Lower utilisation and higher buy tariff extend payback materially.

What HS code applies to AC 11kW EVSE imported into Portugal?: EVSE typically falls under HS heading 8537 (control/distribution boards). The exact 6–8 digit national line must be confirmed via the EU TARIC database for Portugal before quoting landed cost.
Which compliance marks are required for AC 11kW EVSE in Portugal?: CE marking under the Low Voltage Directive (2014/35/EU) and EMC Directive (2014/30/EU) is mandatory. Chargers sold in the EU must conform to EN IEC 61851-1 and the connector to EN 62196-2 (Type 2). Confirm certificate numbers with the OEM before shipment.
Is the payback number a quote?: No. The payback and TCO figures on this page are scenario model outputs from a 25-year scenario. They depend on operator-set tariff and utilisation inputs, OEM FOB price, EU duty and PT VAT — all PENDING — confirm via EU TARIC and Autoridade Tributária before any quote.
What is the typical AC 11kW charging speed at a hotel?: An 11 kW three-phase AC EVSE delivers approximately 11 kW continuously at 400 V, three-phase, refilling roughly 50–70 km of range per hour of connection depending on the EV's onboard AC charger acceptance rate.
Can I request a CE/EN test certificate copy before ordering?: Yes. Use the RFQ form to request the OEM datasheet, EN IEC 61851-1 test report and CE declaration of conformity.
Do I need to register as an importer of electrical equipment in Portugal?: For B2B capital goods, the hotel owner or its nominated fiscal representative acts as importer of record. Confirm any EORI requirements via Autoridade Tributária e Aduaneira before first shipment.
