屋苑如何申請、電錶如何判讀、多少 kW 才足夠。這裡的內容，即使你選擇其他公司安裝，一樣有參考價值。How estate applications work, how to read your meter, how many kW you actually need. Useful even if you install with someone else.
屋苑攻略Estate tactics
車位要有自己的電錶，中電的申請由業主親自提交，我們不能代按。這篇寫清楚三步：邊份文件要去管理處蓋印、上傳時「承辦商資料」該填什麼、按金單到手之後要 WhatsApp 我們什麼。適用於屋苑車位，村屋及獨立屋另有做法。A bay with its own meter means a CLP application the owner has to submit personally — we can't press the button for you. This lays out the three steps: which form gets stamped by management, exactly what to put in the contractor fields, and what to send us once the deposit notice arrives. For estate bays; village and detached houses work differently.
屋苑安裝充電樁，電費點計係兩條路。開頭平嗰條，長遠未必平；開頭貴嗰條，用得多反而抵。In an estate there are two billing routes. The cheaper one to set up isn't always cheaper to live with, and the pricier one wins if you charge a lot.
政府資助計劃設有名額及期限，而且必須由整個屋苑聯合申請，並非個別業主可以自行辦理。若有意爭取，宜及早開始游說。The government scheme has quotas and deadlines, and the estate must apply as a whole — not individually. If you want it, start lobbying early.
屋苑安裝充電樁被拒，好少係因為技術唔得，多數係因為冇人解答到法團嘅疑慮。四個常見反對，逐個拆。Estate refusals are rarely technical. They happen because nobody answered the committee's worries. Here are the four you'll hear, and the answers.

電動車充電會產生直流漏電成分，普通漏電開關偵測唔到。呢個係最容易被慳、而客戶又最難察覺嘅一忽。EV charging can produce DC residual current that an ordinary RCD cannot see. It's the easiest corner to cut and the hardest for a customer to notice.
22kW 快三倍，聽落好吸引。但家用充電的真正對手不是速度，而是你泊車的時數 —— 而你泊車的時數通常好長。22kW is three times faster, which sounds great. But home charging competes with how long you're parked — and that's usually a long time.
村屋安裝電動車充電樁，成敗幾乎全部取決於電錶。學識睇錶頭幾個數字，你自己都可以初步判斷得到。For a village house, the whole job hinges on the meter. Learn to read a few numbers on it and you can make the first call yourself.
