• Electromobility is gaining increasing attention and acceptance among the population in Germany. Automobile manufacturers have recognized this and have been launching various new models with increasing driving ranges in different price segments. Along with users’ desire for a vehicle with a long range and a low price, the need exists to secure access to charging infrastructure. Currently, the vast majority of charging events still takes place at private locations. These include private homes, underground garages and company parking lots. Increasing environmental awareness among companies and their employees, as well as government subsidies for electric mobility, are increasing the pressure to expand the charging infrastructure. Integrated, cross-company solutions are currently only available in exceptional cases. Therefore, this study marks the start of an innovative project at the RWTH Aachen Campus to make it as easy as possible for companies to get started with electromobility while at the same time steering into the „post-app era“.
