Most electric boats can be charged using a conventional Schuko or a blue 3-pin CEE socket. These sockets are usually fused at 16A and could theoretically provide a charging power of up to 3.6 kW. However, charging sockets are often shared with other boats in the harbor. In addition, the shore connection on the boat is usually equipped with a 30mA personal protection switch (RCD), which has a FI/LS with 13A, which limits the charging power to approx. 2.8 kW. For this reason, we rarely install chargers with more than 1.5 kW of power, so that two boats can easily share one socket. For larger PEHN electric boats, we may install chargers with up to 3 kW of power. In these cases, however, the boats must be connected to their own supply line. Special charging plugs such as type 2 or type 3, as used in electric cars, are not necessary in boat building. They would simply cause considerable costs and require all ports to be converted – without offering any real added value.
