This paper is concerned with the Klein-Gordon-Maxwell system in a bounded spatial domain. We discuss the existence of standing waves $\psi=u(x)e^{-i\omega t}$ in equilibrium with a purely electrostatic field $\mathbf{E}=-\nabla\phi(x)$. We assume an homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition on $u$ and an inhomogeneous Neumann boundary condition on $\phi$. In the "linear" case we characterize the existence of nontrivial solutions for small boundary data. With a suitable nonlinear perturbation in the matter equation, we get the existence of infinitely many solutions.
