ladenetz.de is an association of municipal utility partners who jointly develop and network charging infrastructure. Local energy suppliers can join the association and thus become part of a Germany-wide network.
One municipal utility, one card - many possibilities
As the number of partners continues to grow, so does the available charging infrastructure. The number of charging points in the network increased by more than 100 per cent again last year. The partners already operate a total of around 5,200 charging points. Customers of the municipal utilities can conveniently charge their vehicles anywhere with one and the same card. The contact for billing always remains the local municipal utility. In addition, around 30,000 further charging points are being added across Europe, which customers can also use thanks to existing roaming partnerships with other charging infrastructure providers.
New products for municipal utilities
In addition to pure charging, innovative products from smartlab enable a holistic electromobility offering for municipal utility customers. This is because the smartlab charging point management system offers everything from a single source. This includes various authorisation media as well as tried-and-tested concepts for consulting, service and billing. "We are very happy that we have become the leading provider of charging in the public sector in Germany. Now it's all about maintaining this position. We will therefore continue to systematically expand our product portfolio this year. For example, the e-mobility card will be expanded to include further important mobility functionalities," says Managing Director Mark Steffen Walcher.
