SMA 206465-00.01 – Foundation Basket for EV Charger Business
SMA 206465-00.01 foundation basket for pedestal installation of the SMA EV Charger Business charging station. Base to be embedded in concrete, compatible with single (206470-00.01) and double (206463-00.01) pedestals. Ensures structural stability and routing of underground cables. Weight: 6 kg.
The 206465-00.01 is the original SMA foundation basket designed for the pedestal support of the SMA EV Charger Business. This is the in-ground base (or for a concrete plinth) that houses the pedestal of the charging station, ensuring structural stability and mechanical protection for the charging infrastructure in floor or ground installations. It is paired with the single-sided SMA EV Charger Business pedestals (206470-00.01) and the double-sided pedestals (206463-00.01).
What is the 206465-00.01 foundation basket used for?
For SMA EV Charger Business charging station installations in pedestal mode — rather than wall-mounted — a stable ground anchoring base is required. The 206465-00.01 basket is embedded in concrete during site preparation and serves as the anchoring seat for the charging station pedestal. It ensures anti-tip stability, easy routing of underground cables, and mechanical protection of the lower part of the infrastructure.

Frequently asked questions
Is the 206465-00.01 basket required for all SMA EV Charger Business installations?
The foundation basket is required only for pedestal (pole) installations, not for wall-mounted installations. If the SMA EV Charger Business charging station is mounted directly to the wall using the dedicated kit (212399-00.01), the foundation basket is not required.
Is 206465-00.01 compatible only with SMA EV Charger Business or also with other SMA models?
The 206465-00.01 basket is designed specifically for the pedestals in the SMA EV Charger Business range (codes 206470-00.01 and 206463-00.01). Compatibility with other SMA products or charging stations from other manufacturers is not guaranteed. Always check SMA installation instructions before purchase.
Can I install the SMA EV Charger Business charging station without a pedestal and without a basket?
Yes. The SMA EV Charger Business charging station can be wall-mounted without the need for a pedestal or foundation basket. In this case, you can use the SMA wall cable holder (212399-00.01). The choice between wall-mounted and pedestal installation depends on the site layout and the customer's needs.
Do I need a certified electrician to install the 206465-00.01 basket?
Laying the foundation basket is a construction task (preparing the concrete plinth) that does not require a specific electrical qualification. However, the electrical connection of the SMA EV Charger Business charging station must be carried out by a qualified electrician in accordance with DM 37/2008 and following SMA technical instructions.
What does the supply for code 206465-00.01 include?
The supply includes the SMA foundation basket with any fastening accessories required for anchoring to the concrete. The pedestal (206470-00.01 or 206463-00.01) and the SMA EV Charger Business charging station must be ordered separately. Contact MR WATT to configure the complete order for your installation.
