E-mobility offers new opportunities for your business

With every new innovation comes new opportunities. Those who perceive them early on can benefit greatly. When it comes to driving, now is the time to join the electromobility revolution.

Summary:It has become one of the most revolutionary technologies of the 21st century. According to the latest annual state of the industry report,  electric vehicle (EV) development continues to accelerate, to the point that in 20 years a third of the global vehicle fleet will be EVs. That's a lot of EV drivers, and they'll all be customers, employees, or residents of your business.

What are electric vehicle drivers?

Electric vehicles are popular faster than you can imagine. And everyone needs a place to recharge their batteries. Who are they?

• They are your most valuable customers. Electric vehicle drivers typically earn above-average salaries, making them an attractive demographic for retailers. In addition to spending more money, they also often choose to visit businesses. Guess what? They spend more time shopping. Companies providing electric vehicle charging solutions are gaining new, desirable customers who return more often and spend more money. If that's not enough, being part of the world's largest electric vehicle charging network also attracts 70% of the country's electric vehicles. Who doesn't love free advertising?
• Make your employees and colleagues more committed. A recent PWC study found that almost a quarter (23%) of employees worldwide say doing the work that matters is the most important to their career. For these people, it means working for companies that share their core values (often including environmental care). Offering employee electric vehicle charging solutions in the workplace is a great way to attract top employees and new talent. In addition to achieving business goals and viability, it helps to make people better.
• These are the best residents. According to our research, 5-10% of apartment buildings will purchase electric vehicles over the next 3-5 years. This number reaches 10-20% in areas with a high density of electric vehicles. Adding charging stations can increase property values (and rents) and reduce employee turnover. In addition, in some cities and states, new buildings (3-25% of parking spaces) are required to support the construction of electric vehicles.
• Wherever you are, you are facing an electric car.

 Electric vehicle drivers love the convenience of recharging wherever they are. At work, on a business trip or just enjoying life. Workplaces, malls and residential buildings served by electric vehicles are already connected to this valuable audience. And you can too.
