With its still young ladenetz.de business partner network, it has already tripled the number of business partners this year. In addition, the number of publicly accessible business partner charging points has doubled to over 1,400 compared to the previous year.
Aachen. The reimbursement model combined with a 360-degree service from installation to roaming also applies to companies. At the same time, the number of charging points accessible to municipal utility customers is increasing. With over 10,000 network-owned charging points, smartlab currently has one of the largest charging point networks in Germany.
Despite the pandemic and the associated reduction in mobility behaviour, the ramp-up of electromobility continues unabated. Thanks to various funding projects and subsidies, more and more businesses are deciding to include electromobility in their portfolio. Due to the increasing electrification of their fleets, many companies are setting up charging infrastructure with ladenetz.de business partners and offering these as public charging points at certain times in their car parks, which can also be used by other e-mobilists.
"Our newly formed ladenetz.de business partner 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 partners. The entire spectrum is represented, from small craft businesses to medium-sized companies and large corporations.
From applying for subsidies to site selection, procurement, installation, connection and technical maintenance of the charging infrastructure as well as integration into the backend, the entire process chain can be mapped from a single source. In addition, ladenetz.de offers the usual services, in particular end customer billing and fully automated company car billing, whether public, at the employer's premises or at home. All products are offered as a white label solution. 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 is the kick-back payments by external users. This means that whenever a user refuels 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 39,000 charging points in Europe at ladenetz.de and ladenetz.de business partners and their roaming partners.
