    Lucerne and ewl install e-charging stations in two neighbourhoods

    The city of Lucerne and ewl are launching the joint pilot project Green Zones. As part of this project, two car parks on Eichmattstrasse and Bergstrasse within the blue zones will each be marked green and equipped with a charging station including a ground sensor. According to a press release, the construction work will begin on Monday, 8 April 2024 and last around two weeks.

    By 2040, all vehicles that are registered in the city of Lucerne should be powered by electricity or renewable energy. E-charging points in residential neighbourhoods are intended to support this goal. To make charging electric and hybrid vehicles as easy as possible, users can check online whether these parking spaces are free or occupied. The data interface is provided by eCarUp from Rotkreuz ZG. Access is set up and processed by the Lucerne-based ICT service provider arcade solutions.

    The five-year pilot project is being financially supported by the LadenPunkt funding programme and the City of Lucerne’s energy fund. The two partners want to gather experience in Lucerne’s residential neighbourhoods, for example with regard to charging habits and duration of use. The knowledge gained will make it possible to assess whether further car parks should be equipped with charging infrastructure in neighbourhoods in the future.

  • NeoVac uses the app from eCarUp for charging stations

    NeoVac uses the app from eCarUp for charging stations

    NeoVac now uses the NeoVac my Charge app to bill the consumption-based costs for e-charging stations in apartment buildings and areas. According to a media release , the specialist for building and environmental technology based in Oberriet is reacting to the increasing demand for e-charging stations in buildings.

    The app was developed by eCarUp AG from Zug. The young company offers a comprehensive software solution for setting up charging infrastructure. Its backend enables billing, monitoring, load management and maintenance of e-charging stations.

    With its Switzerland-wide service network, NeoVac prepares the consumption-based energy and water bills for over 400,000 apartments every year. The Rheintaler company has set itself the goal of offering a solution for every billing-relevant measuring point in a building. "The number of new registrations of electric vehicles is increasing significantly and tenants are asking for more and more charging options," says Pascal Welti, Head of Energy Consulting at NeoVac. That's why his company has now launched an app for it.

    It enables drivers of electric cars to activate charging stations and pay for the electricity they use. In addition, the charging data is transferred directly to the NeoVac myEnergy app. There, users receive an overview of their personal consumption and a directly accessible energy cost bill.

    NeoVac also offers complete solutions for e-mobility infrastructure projects with a nationwide sales and service network. In addition, charging stations could "also be controlled depending on the PV system, battery storage or heat pump". This increases self-consumption and the profitability of photovoltaic systems.
