Smart Mobility Is What Drives Me Forward I Global Service Manager E-Mobility at Siemens

Are (vegetarian) Köttbullar and eMobility a good match? (Spoiler: I'd say yes, but...) 🌱⚡️ It's Saturday morning, since the little one has grown, we need to buy a new bed for him. Where should we go? Our choice: IKEA. Why? It's just a no brainer. Besides lots of clever Scandinavian design ideas, kid friendly exhibition areas and an in-house restaurant, they also offer free #EVcharging on their parking area. In theory it should be easy: park, plug in your #EV, charge, shop, eat, return, unplug - in reality we had to wait for a while until a charging point became available, as the four available EV parking spaces where just not enough to meet the demand. Dear Ikea-team, it's really great that you offer free EV charging! But, in line with a raising number of #ElectricVehicle drivers, also the number of available charging points needs to increase accordingly. What would be my recommendation from a customer and private EV driver perspective? For an even better #CustomerExperience, I'd recommend to install more #EVchargers and - in case you target a return of investment - to partner up with one of many eMobility service providers (#MSP) available in Germany. What's the point of collaborating with an eMSP? They take your end-user management to the next level, by providing a seamless charging experience and access to a vast charging network across EU based on a pay-per-use model. Monta, Spirii, Elli - A Brand of the Volkswagen Group or CHARGE NOW are just a few well-known charging partners that offer #eRoaming services (for further details see the eMobility Excellence report from June 2023: https://lnkd.in/dWMMxxfY). In summary, big kudos to IKEA for supporting the transition to #ElectricVehicles. As a next step, more #ChargingPoints and smart user management are required to further improve the #CX.
