Funding programs for electromobility in the DACH region

The expansion of electromobility is progressing rapidly in the DACH region. To enable companies, municipalities, and private individuals to invest in future-ready charging infrastructure, numerous funding programs are offered by the federal governments, regional authorities, and the EU. These subsidies cover both AC and DC charging solutions, support grid connections, and in many cases even include accompanying consulting services or energy storage systems.

How KEBA is setting new standards with DC charging technology and a digital assistant

Charging infrastructure has become more than just technology, it's a strategic success factor in the shift to sustainable mobility. Today’s investors in fast charging expect more than just high power: they demand reliability, ease of use, and future-proof solutions. That’s exactly where KEBA’s DC charging stations come into play: robust, scalable, and ready for what’s next.

But this is only the beginning. With digital assistants, KEBA is laying the foundation for a new kind of charging experience. Smarter. More efficient. More user-friendly.

Why fast charging is a must today

E-mobility is growing rapidly, and with it, the demands for a reliable and user-friendly charging infrastructure are increasing. While AC charging stations continue to be in demand for private and semi-public use, DC charging is gaining growing importance in commercial settings. Fast charging is no longer just a convenience; it has become a key economic success factor.

Especially in situations where time is critical, such as on highways, at supermarkets, or within high-utilization fleets, DC technology ensures minimal downtime and maximum availability.

In this article, we show how DC charging stations are specifically designed to meet the needs of CPOs, fuel station operators, and businesses, and what practical potential this opens up.

Charging the company car at home – this is how the billing works

Electric cars are increasingly the first choice for a company’s vehicle fleet. To make the best use of them, drivers should charge them at home – the electric vehicle can park overnight and thus refuel in the most economic way. To pass on that part of the electricity bill to the employer, there are various options.

How long does it take to charge an EV?

People often cite charging time as a major shortcoming of electric vehicles. However, the duration is dependent on many factors and can range from a few minutes to several hours. Find out below what causes such big divergences and why the actual charging time is irrelevant in most cases.

Cable or no cable? That is the question.

Aside from the inner qualities of a wallbox – which include performance and safety features as well as attributes such as user identification, consumption gauge, and communication with existing systems – a purely external distinction can be made between two types: wallboxes with a fixed cable and wallboxes with a charging socket. These are the advantages of both models.

AC and DC? Single-Phase and 3-Phase Charging?

If you want to drive an e-car or a plug-in hybrid, you have to deal with the subject of charging. You’ll quickly come across terms like alternating and direct current, single-phase and 3-phase charging. But what do they mean and how do these concepts influence the way you charge your vehicle? Here’s a summary of the most important points.

Mobile or permanently installed: Which wallbox is right for you?

Those who want to be able to charge their electric car or plug-in hybrid at home face a decision: To buy either a mobile charging station or a permanently installed wallbox? Before deciding on one of the two options, you should ask yourself the following three questions in order to make the right choice.

Is it worth having a wallbox for my plug-in hybrid (PHEV)?

With modern plug-in hybrids, distances of up to 90 kilometers can be achieved purely electrically. That is usually enough for the commute to work or other everyday journeys. All the same, the batteries of these PHEVs are significantly smaller than those of purely battery-electric vehicles (BEVs). So, is a household socket sufficient for daily charging or does it still make sense to have a charging station?

IAA Mobility. New Name, New City, New Concept.

In 2021, the International Automobile Exhibition IAA became IAA Mobility. The name says it all: Rather than putting only the car at center stage, the focus was now on mobility today and tomorrow. In addition to cars, especially bicycles and even small airplanes were presented at the Munich Trade Fair Center.

Plug or wallbox?

The standard delivery of an electric car in Europe usually includes a Type 2 charging cable that can be used for charging at a public charging station or wallbox with a socket, as well as a so-called emergency power cable with a Type F plug for the standard 230 V power outlet. You can use this emergency power cable to charge your electric car (or PHEV) in your garage at home. But should you really do that? There are several reasons why you shouldn't.

We are at the IAA in Munich!

Under the motto "What will move us next", the IAA (International Motor Show) will take place in Munich for the first time from September 7 to 12. As KEBA Energy Automation, the IAA at the new location and the new event concept is a fixed point.

Charging at home – What’s important

Those who want to charge their cars not only at work or at public charging stations, but also at home, have to consider a number of aspects. Here are compact answers to the six most important questions, from the approval and installation of a wallbox to charging speed and electricity costs.

Charging at home or publicly?

A car with a combustion engine is refueled publicly at a service station. Why not do the same with an electric vehicle? After all, the public charging network has a large number of charging stations and gone are the days when people were forced to charge at home because the network had not been sufficiently developed. Four facts speak in favor of charging at home nonetheless.

"Urcharge" project examines crucial questions about the viability of e-mobility for everyday use

One of the largest and longest electric mobility field tests in Austrian history starts tomorrow. For the project "Urcharge" (Urban Charging) 51 households in a Linz residential complex will be exchanging their fuel car for an electric car including their own KEBA charging station, which is integrated into the Linz AG charging solution "WallBOX CitySolution". It will provide answers to fundamental questions about what infrastructure and charging behaviour is needed in order to make the day-to-day use of e-mobility a decisive environmental protection factor in urban areas, even for densely populated areas. The start of the project had been postponed due to Corona - now the project gets underway.
