Electromobility needs charging infrastructure in rental properties

Experts assume that the number of electric vehicles on Swiss roads, which is still rather low today, will increase significantly by 2035. However, electromobility in Switzerland can only become a model for success across the country if the charging infrastructure in rental properties keeps pace with this development.

Mobility of the future poses challenges for property owners

Wincasa is convinced that by 2035, around 85% of all charging will take place at home or at work. As a large proportion of the Swiss population lives in rented accommodation, the rental market urgently needs solutions for shared parking garages and outdoor parking spaces.

The challenges lie both in the technical area and in the operation of the stations. Particularly in larger real estate portfolios, it is advantageous from the owner's perspective to pursue a uniform strategy that is geared towards the portfolio and the properties.
