STILL headquarters in Hamburg receives 20 charging stations for e-cars

The Hamburg-based intralogistics provider STILL is currently installing 20 charging stations for electric vehicles at its headquarters in Berzeliusstraße, Hamburg. The highlight: in future, not only will the e-vehicles in the company fleet be charged there, but employees and visitors will also be able to use this charging facility for their private vehicles.

“Get electrified!” – The slogan of Hamburg-based intralogistics provider STILL will take on a whole new meaning in future. Namely, when the 20 charging stations for e-cars that are currently under construction go into operation in August. “We will not only use the new charging stations for our increasingly electrified fleet of company vehicles, but will also offer our employees and visitors a charging facility as a very special service. We are thinking especially of employees who do not have a charging option at home. We want to make it possible for them to switch to an emission-free vehicle,” says Stefan Sanny, who is responsible for facility management at STILL. But building these charging points is just the first step for STILL. “This is just the first part of an overall project by STILL, with which we have now created the infrastructural and procedural possibilities to gradually equip further locations with electric charging points. In this way, we want to facilitate the conversion of our own vehicle fleet and also make it easier for our employees to switch to electric vehicles.” In the medium term, it should also be possible to include suitable wallboxes at home for the service vehicle fleet and employees’ company cars in the STILL charging infrastructure.

STILL uses ‘green’ electricity

STILL obtains the electricity required for the charging stations – as it does all the rest of its electricity – from ‘green’ sources. “With our new charging stations, we are making a real contribution to reducing CO2 emissions,” says Stefan Sanny happily. The charging stations can be used with the usual charging cards – and for

even at special rates for STILL employees. Charging takes place according to the ‘fair-use’ principle. Charging is only carried out for as long as necessary so that charging points are always available.

“We will closely observe how our new offer is used. If it proves successful, we have the option of building another 24 charging stations at the same location,” Stefan Sanny sums up.
