the fee comes from the power, not the kWh
Luxembourg's network tariff has a power component: each meter subscribes a reference power band, and a bigger band costs more every month whether you charge or not. Where the charger sits decides who pays it.

Charger on the flat's meter
Every flat pays for a bigger band
A charger on an apartment's own meter targets 11 kW, so the flat needs at least the 12 kW band, or 17 kW never to exceed it with the household load. With Creos' indicative tariffs from 1 January 2027 that is €12.74 or €19.81 more per flat per month, €153 to €238 a year, before a single kWh is charged.
Separate e-mobility connection
A new connection, too little power
A separate connection for the car park is usually so limited that only three or four cars charge at once; the others queue, and late evening arrivals may not be full by morning. It also brings the fees of a new connection.
Companies
Peaks cost money too
For companies, power-based grid fees and connection upgrades make the peak the expensive part of charging. Managed charging keeps the peak low; a battery can shave it further. See battery storage.
