Jacobs Group relies on The Mobility House for e-mobility

Even though there's much discussion about electric car sales, their share is steadily increasing. Currently, the registration rate stands at 18 percent and must significantly rise next year, particularly in light of the reduced CO₂ limits from 95 to 81 grams (according to NEFZ). Together with the expert in intelligent charging and energy solutions, The Mobility House, the Jacobs Group is actively preparing for the electric future. The multi-brand operation with 100 years of experience in the Aachen, Düren, Heinsberg, and Bergheim regions represents the brands Volkswagen, Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, Audi, ŠKODA, SEAT, and CUPRA. Nine locations have already been electrified, with a total of 114 AC and DC charging points for employee company cars, the company fleet, public electric cars, and workshop services. The car dealer employs ChargePilot for intelligent charging and energy management, offering a hardware-agnostic and scalable solution for future expansion stages without incurring high costs. Depending on the use case, this can save up to 70 percent of infrastructure and grid fees or an average of 250 euros per charging point per year.

As a multi-brand operation, the Jacobs Group tackles the challenges of electrification, such as the multitude of requirements from various automotive and charging station manufacturers. Thanks to the charging and energy management system which relies on open interfaces, existing charging stations can be integrated and additionally retrofitted to comply with legal metrology requirements, enabling public use and billing. The existing PV system can also be integrated. This ensures efficient and cost-effective operation of the charging stations, prevents peak loads, and considers potential expansions. For the setup of charging solutions, The Mobility House collaborates with a wide network of installation companies. At the same time, employees - from consultation to workshop service - are prepared for the transition to electromobility to adequately address the growing needs of customers. Due to the successful collaboration, further topics are now being tackled together.
