HIH Group, through its subsidiary eternigy, has entered into strategic partnerships with Service4Charger and HEIMLADEN to expand electric vehicle charging infrastructure across its portfolio. The initiative aims to electrify up to 25,000 parking spaces at HIH-managed properties by 2030. Service4Charger and HEIMLADEN will serve as preferred partners for the planning, construction, and operation of the new charging infrastructure. eternigy will coordinate the process, serving as a consulting interface between property owners and the two companies. As part of the agreement, Service4Charger has acquired ten already-electrified properties in the HIH portfolio, which include 197 parking spaces and 87 operational charging points. The partners are currently evaluating 26 additional sites, comprising 3,600 parking spaces, for potential expansion. Lukas Thiede, Head of eMobility at HIH Real Estate, stated that the move aligns with ESG strategies increasingly demanded by investors, regulators, and tenants. Upcoming legislative requirements, such as Germany’s Building Electromobility Infrastructure Act (GEIG) and the EU’s revised Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD), will further require non-residential properties to be equipped with charging infrastructure by 2027. Service4Charger CEO Lucas Althammer noted that the company is investing directly in infrastructure and assuming operational responsibility. HEIMLADEN’s managing director Max Wojtynia added that the first joint projects will be implemented by the end of this year. In addition to construction, the services offered by Service4Charger and HEIMLADEN will include grid connection, coordination with utility companies, commissioning, billing, contract management, maintenance, and the supply of green electricity.
