Mobility is installing at least 300 electric charging stations at locations throughout Switzerland by 2023. It is using the JUICE CHARGER 2 from Juice Technology AG for this.

Juice Technology AG, manufacturer of charging stations and software, leader in mobile charging stations for electric vehicles, provides JUICE CHARGER 2 AC stations for the electrification of mobility sites across Switzerland. Both companies are thus giving electromobility a big boost in car sharing.

The market-leading Swiss car sharing company Mobility is converting its entire fleet of vehicles – more than 3000 vehicles in total – to emission-free electric drive by 2030 at the latest. There will be rapid expansion of the electric charging infrastructure at the same time. In a first step, at least 300 electric charging stations will be put into operation at Mobility locations across Switzerland within the next three years.

Juice and Mobility – a tried and tested partnership

In order to reliably supply electricity for the various electric vehicle models in the Mobility fleet, the company depends on simple, standardised charging processes for the electrification of its sites. Juice Technology already proved last year that its charging stations meet these requirements. At the end of 2020, the charging station manufacturer provided charging infrastructure for Mobility at the first car parks in Zurich and Aarau in collaboration with SBB, Mobility’s biggest and most important local partner. The two companies are now working together directly.

“We are proud to be able to support Mobility on the road to emission-free car sharing and in the electrification of its vehicle fleet. Our common start in SBB car parks has shown that innovative charging technology and quality clearly prove themselves. We are delighted to continue our partnership at sites near stations,” says Christoph Erni, CEO of Juice Technology AG.

JUICE CHARGER 2 – an AC charging station without compromise

Juice Technology is supplying JUICE CHARGER 2 AC charging stations for electrification of the Mobility sites.

“The biggest hurdle in the electrification of our fleet is the establishment of an electric charging network. That’s why we have brought an experienced partner on board in Juice in order to be able to implement this project and push forward with the expansion as quickly as possible,” says Roland Lötscher, Managing Director of Mobility. “E-mobility is the future and we want to lead the way as a trailblazer.”

In order to ensure maximum convenience for customers during use, the JUICE CHARGER 2’s high-resolution touch display facilitates simple and intuitive operation. The intelligent, omni-dynamic and infinitely scalable load management system makes it possible to manage and control the charging processes for all connected vehicles easily and centrally. The gauged electricity meter which is built into the JUICE CHARGER 2 ensures clean billing, and activation is done using the integrated NFC/RFID reader.

  5. SmartJuice: Thanks to SmartJuice components as standard, the JUICE CHARGER 2 has infinitely scalable, omni-dynamic charging and load management for any number of parking spaces. This makes it possible to monitor the amount of electricity and condition of the connected vehicles in real time, as well as to prioritise the charging processes for individual vehicles. The wall box takes the individual charging properties of all vehicle types into consideration here. More than 400 charging characteristics considered ensures that every vehicle can be charged worry-free.
  6. Billing: A meter gauged in accordance with the MID standard is installed as standard for precise billing. The NFC/RFID activation and payment system is compatible with all common charging cards and credit cards, as well as ApplePay and AndroidPay.

About Juice Technology

Juice Technology AG, with its headquarters in Cham (Zug, Switzerland), is a globally active manufacturer of charging solutions for electric vehicles. The company’s extensive product portfolio, with AC and DC charging stations ranging from light mobile devices through to large fast chargers, makes it one of a very small number of full-range providers in the industry. Juice has dominated the market in mobile 22 kW charging stations since 2014.

The crucial difference to other solutions available on the market is the consistent software orientation. All devices designated “J+” are based on the same processor and the same firmware, which means they are compatible with one another. Juice saves on time, effort and costs by using its own consistent software architecture. Solutions such as omni-dynamic load management, payment by credit card or the open interface backend are therefore available throughout the product range.

The Juice Group has global reach with its own sites, subsidiaries and affiliates. Juice Services AG and Juice Europe GmbH in Germany with a subsidiary in Munich are part of the group of companies. It also has a global network of resellers. More than 150 people currently work in the research and development, production, marketing, administration, purchasing and sales, and logistics departments. The company is currently tripling its turnover every year.
