Rosier relies on our partnership to both establish their own charging infrastructure and provide customized charging solutions for customers. It's a great collaboration that allows Rosier to focus on fulfilling vehicle dreams.
Rosier positions for electromobility era
Rosier, one of Germany's leading automotive dealership groups with over 1,200 employees and 14 locations, embarked on the journey towards electromobility more than five years ago in collaboration with us. The decision to establish charging infrastructure on their own company premises is based on numerous advantages: Repair and demonstration vehicles no longer have to queue at public charging stations, and charging electric cars is now significantly more affordable.
Together, we have set the course for this transformation. Our collaboration started with thorough planning and the development of charging infrastructure at all locations, including the workshops. We considered future expansion phases to allow seamless and cost-effective growth. As the general contractor, we handled all process steps, from planning and approval to installation and maintenance.
Over time, our collaboration has grown into a strong partnership founded on trust and reliability. Today, this partnership extends beyond providing charging infrastructure to offering expert advice to Rosier's fleet customers on all aspects of electric vehicle charging.
"Rosier has already implemented several projects in the field of charging infrastructure for fleet customers with The Mobility House. This allows us to focus on our core competency, vehicle sales, while The Mobility House provides consulting services for all questions related to charging, especially for larger fleets. This is a win-win situation for all three parties involved."

CEO of ROSIER Holding GmbH
Dealers must adhere to various requirements
The challenge was to unite the individual requirements of the automotive brands Mercedes-Benz, AMG, smart, Audi, Volkswagen, Peugeot, and Maxus into an economical solution. Some automakers specify a particular wallbox model and minimum charging capacities, while others demand the installation of particularly fast DC chargers and the establishment of publicly accessible charging facilities at all times. Therefore, the task was to intelligently integrate all these different components into one system. For many, this is the crucial sticking point—a challenge that our manufacturer-independent and flexible charging and energy management system, ChargePilot®, adeptly overcomes. Additionally, at many locations, the power grid environment would have quickly reached its limits due to the additional load from the charging stations without load management.
"We are very satisfied with the result of the consultation as well as with the concept. In particular, the input on topics such as voltage spikes/energy management, charging cycles for charging fulfillment, has greatly aided us in the decision-making process. Some points we had not considered!"

ChargePilot® flexibly scales with growth
Especially at the Menden site, the headquarters of Rosier, ChargePilot® exemplifies how it fully utilizes its strengths and efficiently utilizes the existing grid connection without costly expansions. The initial basic installation with seven AC wallboxes was expanded to 16 AC wallboxes and 3 DC fast charging points with comparatively little effort—thanks to the initially considered conduits. In the final expansion phase, up to 30 charging points are possible in Menden, where not only customers' electric vehicles but also test and delivery vehicles of the dealership group can be reliably and quickly charged.
Additionally, a 400 kWp PV system was installed on the roof of the Menden site, along with an energy storage system with a capacity of around 612 kWh. With this setup, Rosier aims to become more independent from the grid and take more control over the energy transition, aligning with the vision of the "Green Dealership of the Future." The self-generated green electricity will be used to power the charging points, covering a significant portion of the energy needs at the Menden site. Rosier expects the investments to pay off within five to ten years. ChargePilot® plays a crucial role here as well. The system acts as the smart interface between self-generated power and the charging infrastructure, contributing to maximum overall efficiency and significantly lower energy costs. Further PV systems, including battery storage, are already planned for the sites in Stendal, Braunschweig, and Paderborn.
"Looking back over the past five years, I want to highlight the practical implementation and excellent communication with The Mobility House, as well as their helpful support with technical issues. Additionally, the collaboration between the project teams and the local electricians has been exceptionally smooth and efficient."

Assistant to the Management Board and Project Manager for Electromobility and Renewable Energies, ROSIER Holding GmbH
How Rosier's customers benefit fro our partnership
Due to the positive experiences with our ChargePilot®, Rosier has already recommended our technology for charging their electric vehicles to several of their large and fleet customers—ultimately benefiting all parties involved.
This support and collaborative approach enable Rosier to seize new opportunities and market potentials with strength, while we take care of the appropriate charging infrastructure for their customers.
Additionally, in partnership with Rosier, we currently offer a free wallbox package for new Mercedes-Benz vehicles, such as the popular electric vans and transporters EQV and eVito— including the wallbox and installation check. Customers receive a voucher upon completion of the purchase or leasing agreement, which they can redeem with us after vehicle delivery. However, it's first come, first served. The promotion is valid only while supplies last and cannot be combined with other offers.
Innovative, forward-thinking, and customer-oriented—Rosier has established itself as a pioneer in electromobility. Join us in your dealership by investing in charging infrastructure and actively shaping the mobility of tomorrow.
