Peblar Dual: what can this dual charger do and who is it for?

The Peblar Dual is Peblar's first dual charger: two Type 2 sockets in one enclosure, connected with a single power cable. It is made for places where multiple people charge, such as a business premises, a homeowners association, or the parking lot of a shop or hotel. Visitors can even pay directly with their bank card.

What exactly can it do, how does it distribute the power between two cars, and when are two separate chargers smarter? You can read that below.

What is the Peblar Dual?

Peblar is the charger brand of Prodrive Technologies from Son, near Eindhoven. Until now, every Peblar had one charging point, such as the Peblar Home and the Peblar Business. The Dual is the first with two sockets. Peblar presented it at the Power2Drive trade show in Munich in June 2026, and it has been nominated for The smarter E AWARD 2026 in the E-Mobility category. Like the other Peblar chargers, it is designed and made in the Netherlands.

The Dual is primarily intended for business and semi-public use: a parking lot, a company with a few lease cars, a homeowners association with a shared parking lot, or a hotel, shop, or sports club where visitors want to charge. It can also be used at home, but it is rarely the most cost-effective choice there. Read more about that further on.

Two cars, one connection: how it distributes the power

This is the most important thing to know before buying a Dual. It receives one 3-phase 32-ampere power cable, good for 22 kW. It distributes that power over the two sockets:

If two cars are charging that only use one phase, such as many plug-in hybrids, the Dual automatically puts them on a different phase, so they do not get in each other's way.

Is that a disadvantage? Usually not. Most electric cars charge at a charger with a maximum of 11 kW. For those cars, it does not matter if someone else is next to it. With 11 kW, you add about 50 to 60 kilometers per hour. How fast your car can charge, you can see on ev-database.nl.

Multiple Duals and the rest of the building

If there are more Duals at one location, they distribute the available power among themselves, per phase. You can daisy-chain the network cable from one Dual to the next, because there is a network switch in it. According to Peblar, you can expand a location step by step this way, without immediately needing a heavier connection or extra cabling.

Does the charger also need to take the rest of the building into account, such as a heat pump, a kitchen, or machines? Then you need a connection with a meter that measures the total consumption of your building, such as the P1 port of your smart meter or a separate energy meter. We are happy to help you find out which connection fits your situation.

Payment without a charging card

What really makes the Dual different from most chargers is the built-in payment function. As a visitor, you pay contactless with your bank card or credit card (Mastercard or Visa), or you scan a QR code with your phone. You do not need a charging card, app, or account. The Dual has a large touchscreen and a contactless card reader for this.

Is the charger in a place that is accessible to everyone, such as the parking lot of a shop, hotel, or sports club? Then visitors must also be able to pay without a charging card or subscription according to the European AFIR rules. For a charger under 50 kW that has been installed from April 13, 2024, this may be done with a card reader or via a QR code. The Dual can do both.

Are you only charging your own employees or residents? Then you do not need the payment function and everyone starts with an RFID card or via NFC. The billing then runs through the management platform to which you connect the Dual. When choosing such a platform, also pay attention to the costs per month or per charging session.

Measurement, billing, and connection

• MID-certified measurement. The Dual measures the charged current with a MID-certified meter. With this, you can pass on charging sessions to visitors or residents, or have the electricity for lease cars reimbursed. For those who pass on charging sessions in Germany, there is also an Eichrecht version.
• ERE reimbursement. With a MID meter, you are also eligible for EREs: money back for the electricity you charge into electric cars. How that works, you can read in our article about ERE certificates. Or immediately do the free ERE check.
• OCPP. With OCPP 1.6J, you connect the Dual to most management platforms. OCPP 2.1 follows later via a firmware update.
• 4G with data included. There is a SIM card in it with data for the lifetime of the charger. You do not need wifi at the parking lot. Wifi 6 and two ethernet ports are also available.

Peblar Dual or two separate chargers?

For two charging points, you have roughly two options: one dual charger or two separate ones. Below we compare the Dual with two separate Peblar Business chargers with MID meter.

What fits your situation?

• At home, with two electric cars. Then the Dual has few advantages. You do not use the payment function, and two separate chargers are usually cheaper together, even with installation. Do make sure they can distribute the power together, so your main fuse holds when both cars are charging at the same time.
• Homeowners association or apartment complex. The Dual fits well here. One charger between two parking spaces saves a cable to the meter cabinet, and because it measures MID-certified, you can fairly pass on the costs per resident. If more Duals are added later, they distribute the power together.
• Company with lease cars. Charging only your own employees, then you do not need the payment function and two separate chargers with a MID meter are often cheaper. If you want many charging points on a tight connection, the difference is that every Dual has two charging points on one cable.
• Shop, hotel, catering, or sports club. Here you get the most out of the Dual. Visitors simply pay with their card, you do not have to hand out charging cards, and the ad-hoc payment required by AFIR is already included.

Do two cars really need to be able to charge at 22 kW at the same time? Then look at the Alfen Eve Double Plus with two power cables. There, each charging point gets its own circuit. Two times 22 kW does require a substantial connection. You can find all Peblar models in our Peblar collection.

What to pay attention to during installation?

• One cable, 3-phase 32 A. For the full power, the Dual gets a 3-phase circuit of 32 amperes. If your connection is smaller, the installer sets the charging current lower and the two sockets share what is available.
• Protection. Overvoltage protection is already in the charger. What type of residual current protection is in the meter cabinet is determined by your installer based on NEN 1010 and the Peblar installation manual.
• Wall or post. The Dual weighs 8.4 kg and hangs on a wall or on a post. A version for two Duals back to back on one post is planned by Peblar for 2027.
• Network. Thanks to 4G, you do not need to arrange a network cable or wifi to the parking lot. If more Duals are hanging, you daisy-chain the network cable from one to the other.
• Grid congestion. If your connection requires a higher capacity, you will be placed on a waiting list in large parts of the Netherlands. Since July 1, 2026, this also applies to households and small businesses. Distributing power intelligently within your existing connection is then the fastest route, and that is what the Dual is made for.

We install in the northern and central Netherlands. See our page about installation, or send us a message with a photo of your fuse box and the number of cars that need to charge.

Plug & Charge and V2G

The Dual's specifications include Plug & Charge (ISO 15118-2). This allows the car to connect via the charging cable without a card or app. This only works if your car and management platform also support it.

For bidirectional charging, where the car feeds power back to the building or the grid (V2H and V2G), the newer ISO 15118-20 standard is required. This will be added to the Dual later via a firmware update. Whether you can actually feed power back after that also depends on your car and the rules in the Netherlands. So buy the Dual for what it can do now, and see V2G as a possible bonus. Read more about V2G in our article Your electric car as a home battery.
