Range anxiety is one of the most cited reasons people hesitate to switch to an electric vehicle. But how much range do you actually need? The answer is less than most people think — and understanding this can transform how you think about EV ownership and charging. What Does the Data Say? Studies consistently show that the average Israeli driver covers between 40–60 km per day. Even the most modest modern EVs offer 250–300 km of real-world range — meaning most drivers could g

One of the most common questions when planning EV charger installation in a shared building is: how do you connect a charger to a private meter when the building runs on a communal electrical system? Meter splitting is the standard solution in Israel — and understanding how it works is key to a smooth installation. What Is Meter Splitting? Meter splitting (pitzul moneh) is the process of separating a new dedicated electricity meter for a specific apartment or parking space fr

Public parking operators and office building managers are under growing pressure to provide EV charging infrastructure. Tenants expect it, employees demand it, and in Israel — increasingly — regulations are starting to require it. Here's how Greems makes deploying and managing charging in these environments straightforward and profitable. The Business Case for Parking Operators EV charging transforms a parking space from a commodity into a premium service. Drivers with EVs ac

Buying an EV is just the beginning — choosing the right charger is equally important. The wrong choice can mean slow charging, incompatibility, or a system that can't grow with your needs. This guide walks you through the key factors to consider. 1. Safety Certifications Always choose a charger with CE marking and compliance with IEC 61851 standards. Look for built-in protections: earth leakage protection, overcurrent protection, and weatherproofing (IP rating) appropriate fo

Israel is entering a new electric era. As companies replace combustion-engine fleets with electric vehicles, the operational and financial benefits are significant — but so are the management challenges. A smart EV fleet management platform like Greems is essential to make the transition smooth, measurable, and cost-effective.

One of the first questions people ask when considering a home or business EV charger is: how much will it actually cost to install? The answer depends on several factors, but this guide gives you a realistic picture of what to budget — and how to ensure you're not overpaying. What Drives Installation Cost? Cable run length: The further the charger is from your electrical panel, the more cable and labour is required. A short run in a garage close to the panel is significantly

Installing an EV charging system in Israel requires compliance with official guidelines published by the Israeli Electricity Authority. Whether you're installing at home, in a shared building, or at a business, understanding these requirements ensures your installation is safe, legal, and future-proof. Who Can Install? EV charging installations in Israel must be performed by a licensed electrician (Hashmalay Musmach) who is qualified to work on the relevant type of electrical

One of the most common questions when choosing a home or business EV charger is: single-phase or three-phase? The answer depends on your vehicle, your electrical supply, and your charging speed needs. Here's a clear breakdown. Single-Phase Charging Single-phase charging uses a standard 230V supply and delivers up to 7.4kW of power. It's the most common setup in Israeli homes. A typical EV with a 60kWh battery will charge fully overnight (8–9 hours) on single-phase — perfectly

Israel's 2024 budget introduced significant changes to EV taxation — including a rise in purchase tax and the introduction of a mileage tax on electric vehicles. These changes have caused considerable concern among EV owners and prospective buyers. Here's a clear breakdown of what changed and what it means for your decision to go electric. The Rise in EV Purchase Tax For years, Israel offered dramatically reduced purchase tax on electric vehicles as an incentive for EV adopti

Your home EV charger is a long-term investment. Like any electrical appliance, it performs best — and lasts longest — with proper care. This guide covers everything you need to know about maintaining your home EV charger and using it correctly day to day. Regular Visual Inspection Check the charger housing monthly for cracks, moisture ingress, or physical damage. Inspect the charging cable for fraying, kinks, or exposed wires. A damaged cable should be replaced immediately —

Before any EV charger is installed, a professional site survey is the essential first step. Skipping it leads to costly surprises — wrong cable lengths, insufficient electrical capacity, or a charger placed in the wrong location. At Greems, every deployment starts with a thorough site assessment to guarantee a smooth, code-compliant installation. What Does a Site Survey Involve? Electrical panel assessment: The surveyor checks your main distribution board's current capacity a

Choosing an EV charger for your home or business seems simple — but the difference between a basic charger and a smart OCPP-enabled charger is enormous. Understanding what OCPP 1.6J brings to the table helps you make a decision that saves money, enables future growth, and integrates with platforms like Greems. Basic Home EV Charger A basic charger (sometimes called a "dumb" charger) plugs in and charges — that's it. There's no communication with any backend system, no remote
