Ladebusiness wins numerous commercial customers
With its ladenetz.de network, smartlab Innovationsgesellschaft has been successfully operating in the field of electromobility for 10 years. This is underlined by the fact that there are currently more than 200 municipal utilities and local authorities as well as a rapidly growing number of commercial customers who have now joined the ladenetz.de platform.
Aachen. Since January 2020, smartlab has been increasingly active in the commercial customer sector with the ladenetz.de business partner network. "Our newly formed team has succeeded in building a network based on ladenetz.de within a very short space of time and adapting it to the diverse and extensive needs of commercial customers," says Dirk Natschke, the sales manager responsible for ladenetz.de Business.
The entire process chain can be mapped, from applying for subsidies to site selection, procurement, installation, connection and technical maintenance of the charging infrastructure as well as integration into the backend. In addition, there are the usual ladenetz.de services, in particular fully automated end customer billing and company car billing. This package is offered as a white label solution from a single source. This allows companies to operate a completely independent pricing policy, i.e. they alone determine the conditions for their employees and customers. A special highlight, similar to ladenetz.de, is the kick-back payments by external users. This means that whenever a user fills up with electricity from ladenetz.de partner municipal utilities or external roaming partners, the ladenetz.de business partner is automatically reimbursed the prices negotiated by smartlab. The fact that the agreed price applies everywhere for the customer of the respective partner means that there is maximum price transparency for all charging processes at around 30,000 charging points of ladenetz.de, ladenetz.de Business and their roaming partners.
From small craft businesses and car centres to medium-sized companies, chain stores and large corporations, there is a suitable package for every commercial customer.
The number of business partners has doubled since January 2020. New business partners include ampere, Elektro Spiegler, Talis Immobilienhandel und -verwaltungs GmbH, Theis Energiedienstleister, Value Fitness, Volksbank Heiden eG, Voltus GmbH, VW Zentrum Oldenburg GmbH and many more.
smartlab develops innovative services, products and concepts for electromobility. The focus is always on the networking of charging infrastructure, as the aim is to create a nationwide network throughout Germany as well as Europe-wide interoperability with other market players. smartlab attaches particular importance to the user-friendliness of the mobility concepts, which is why it draws on practical experience from federally funded research projects. The shareholders of smartlab are Duisburger Versorgungs- und Verkehrsgesellschaft, erdgas schwaben, Stadtwerke Düsseldorf, Stadtwerke Osnabrück, STAWAG and Thüga.
