Metro Vienna relies on electromobility: New charging stations for customers!

In Vienna, efforts to promote electromobility are taking another step forward. Economic News reports that Metro is building new fast charging stations in Simmering together with Amic Energy and Smatrics. This expansion not only offers opportunities for the company, but also for customers, who can fill up with green electricity while shopping. A clear advantage for attracting new customer groups to the metro.

The location near the A4 and the airport was highlighted as strategically favorable by Andreas Sernetz, co-owner of Amic Energy. The visibility of the display board also brings more transparency to the world of electromobility, which could be crucial for many potential users. Ronald Lausch, CSO at Smatrics, also commented on the numerous advantages of the new infrastructure.

Bidirectional charging in focus

The expansion of the charging infrastructure is in line with developments in electromobility, where bi-directional charging is becoming increasingly important. Loud Federal Ministry of Economics can enable electric cars to store electricity and feed it back into the public grid. What is particularly interesting is that from 2025 all electricity providers will have to offer a time-variable tariff, which offers users more flexibility.

There are different variants of bidirectional charging:

• Vehicle-to-load (V2L): E-Auto als mobiler Stromspeicher für Geräte.
• Vehicle-to-home (V2H): E-Auto speichert Strom für den eigenen Haushalt.
• Vehicle-to-grid (V2G): E-Auto speist Strom ins öffentliche Netz zurück.

These technologies can not only help to stabilize the power grid, but also optimize self-consumption and thus costs.

Innovations in the living area

While progress is being made in mobility, something is also happening in the area of ​​air quality. The latest air purifier from Dyson, the Dyson Purifier Cool PC1, was just introduced for pollen and allergy season. With its improved filter system, it captures 99.95% of pollutants in the air, including pollen. A welcome novelty for allergy sufferers and households.

The device can be linked to real-time reports on air quality via the MyDyson app, ensuring a pleasant living environment. It also offers various operating modes, including a quiet sleep mode to minimize annoying noises during the night. Thanks to its modern design, the Dyson Purifier Cool PC1 also fits harmoniously into any living environment.

Overall, it can be seen that developments relating to electromobility and air quality are becoming increasingly important not only in Vienna, but also throughout Austria. These progressive approaches make life a little more pleasant and sustainable.
