Company cars fill up with solar power from their own roof

Byodo builds new e-charging stations for company cars

At our headquarters in Mühldorf, we are continuing to expand the charging infrastructure for our company cars. This will provide 16 additional charging stations in the future. The entire company building has been particularly energy-efficient since it was built. However, employees’ commutes in company cars have been a major source of CO2 emissions up to now. That’s why we’ve decided to further expand Byodo’s electric charging infrastructure.

Groundbreaking ceremony

The groundbreaking ceremony for the new e-charging stations was held on July 6, 2022. All the work should be completed by the fall and the stations will go into operation. 22 KW will be available at all wallboxes to charge fully electric vehicles from 0 to 100% in around 4 hours. At Byodo, we have also converted 80% of our company fleet from hybrid to electric cars. Only four hybrid vehicles will remain.

Photovoltaic systems on the company building

The electricity for the charging stations is generated directly on our own roof. The solar power systems on the office building and warehouse have a capacity of up to 500 kWp. Byodo uses most of the electricity it generates itself. Any additional electricity we need is purchased as green energy.

The new wall boxes at the charging stations were manufactured in Austria. Furthermore, only local companies are involved in the construction project: the gardening and landscaping firm Bitzer & Bernhard from Mettenheim and the electrical contracting firm Schindler & Denk from Ampfing.

While the newly built e-charging stations will be available exclusively for Byodo company cars, we also offer public charging stations in the parking lot of our Feinsinn organic store. Charging is also completely free for customers of the organic store – you can activate this function at the charging station with your Feinsinn customer card.
