With all-in-one charging solutions for businesses and the housing industry, VERBUND offers total packages for getting into electromobility. This is how VERBUND is paving the way for organisations to achieve zero-emission mobility and making an important contribution to the energy transition.
The International Energy Agency (IEA) once again expects record growth in the sale of electric cars in 2023 by a further 35 percent to 14 million vehicles. At the end of March 2023, around 121,000 electrically powered cars were on the roads in Austria. That corresponds to 2.3 percent of the entire car fleet. In Germany, the share of electric cars is also around 2 percent. However, along with the interest in electric cars, there is also a growing need for charging options. Companies that want to electrify their fleet, offer their employees and customers charging points on the company premises and improve their CO2 scorecard benefit from the "totally carefree" offer of VERBUND Business-Charging. This solution comprises the charging infrastructure with intelligent charge management, European roaming and reporting, billing service and station management with 24-hour hotline, operation and monitoring. In this way, companies have neither a technical nor a financial risk. The convenient plug-and-play solution makes the switch to zero-emission mobility incredibly easy and gives companies new ways of achieving clean mobility and a clean image.
Together with the leading full-service provider PAYUCA, an established partner of the Austrian housing industry, VERBUND is opening up convenient charging for long-stay parkers in tenancies. Property owners and building managers thus have the possibility to cost-effectively prepare their parking spaces in underground garages or outdoors for the ramp-up of electromobility and to manage long-term parking spaces simply digitally. This gives rise to no additional expense and only marginal one-off costs for future-orientated housing associations, neither for planning and installation nor for operation of the charging points. At the same time, they increase and secure the value of their properties for the long term.
“The mobility transition goes hand in hand with the rapid electrification of the transport sector. With almost 100 percent electricity generation from renewables, VERBUND has been actively advancing the topic of electromobility. With our activities aimed at decarbonising the energy system, we are addressing the sector coupling of energy and transport, strengthening the economic location and making an important contribution to achieving the climate targets,” says Martin Wagner, Managing Director of VERBUND Energy4Business GmbH. "Electromobility is the key to sustainably reducing the energy consumption and CO2 emissions of private transport. As a pioneer in the topic of green electricity, we are making electromobility as clean as possible. With our all-in-one solutions, we also offer the infrastructure in addition to green electricity.
VERBUND is a complete provider for all aspects of energy and sustainability. Apart from electricity, gas, photovoltaics and storage, customers now also benefit from VERBUND's expertise in e-mobility and enjoy all the advantages of sustainable locomotion.
The technical implementation partner is the 75%-owned VERBUND subsidiary SMATRICS, which provides charging point control and charge card administration via its internally developed software solution charVIS and is responsible for the smooth and flawless operation of the wallboxes. The electricity for the charging of electric vehicles is 100 percent green electricity from VERBUND.
As Austria's leading energy company with 97% of electricity generation from renewables, VERBUND sees the future of mobility in the networking of non-motorised mobility, public transport and zero-emission propulsion on the basis of renewable energies. Together with partners from research and industry, VERBUND is developing infrastructure and concrete applications suitable for everyday use. The focus here is on decarbonising the energy system by coupling the energy and transport sectors in order to achieve the Austrian and international climate targets.

Safe, convenient charging that saves the battery
In addition to fast charging points for topping up the battery on long-distance journeys, charging at home is particularly important. Most charging procedures take place at home. The slow charging also protects the battery. That is why VERBUND is expanding its charging infrastructure portfolio and enabling simple charging at home with the all-in-one solution called VERBUND Immo-Charging.Together with the leading full-service provider PAYUCA, an established partner of the Austrian housing industry, VERBUND is opening up convenient charging for long-stay parkers in tenancies.
