The state is committed to e-mobility

How SWW Wunsiedel GmbH Financed E-Mobility Smartly.

Siemens eCharger & SFS financing for SWW Wunsiedel GmbH

Digitalization and e-mobility are often linked to cities, but rural areas face more challenges. SWW Wunsiedel GmbH is impressively demonstrating how to bring rural energy infrastructure up to speed, proving that modern solutions work outside major urban centers.

For years, SWW in Wunsiedel, Upper Franconia, has been blazing innovative trails toward the future of energy in collaboration with Siemens as a consultant and technology partner. The goal: to establish a regional and sustainable energy supply. The foundation of the “WUNsiedel Way” is sector coupling: all elements of energy generation are linked to ensure optimal utilization. The result: a stable, highly reliable energy supply system whose surplus energy can even be sold on the energy market. Green hydrogen plays a central role in this.

Those who integrate all forms of energy are more flexible and can benefit from the market.

As part of this initiative, SWW Wunsiedel GmbH also purchased eChargers from Siemens for electric cars (SICHARGE CC AC22) and CPC50CJ 50kW DC chargers. Siemens Financial Services handled the financing and created a payment plan for SWW. The innovative and forward-thinking service provider sells the charging units via the eCharger platform—while simultaneously making convenient installment payments to Siemens.

The charging stations and the financing model behind them are part of the larger initiative “Turning the Energy Transition into an Energy Future.” The project impressively demonstrates that e-mobility need not remain a distant dream even in rural areas, but can be implemented quickly when you have a major partner like Siemens at your side with tailor-made solutions. Take the plunge and finance your project too—there are many innovative ways to put your concept on a solid financial footing. Technology and financing from a single source offer many advantages.
