Holiday season = peak season for charging

The warm season brings not only sun and travel fever – but also more traffic and increased charging needs. Whether it's a stopover on the way to Italy or a day trip to the countryside: those traveling with an electric car need reliable charging options.

While charging usually takes place at home or at work during everyday life, the demand for public charging points increases significantly during the holiday season. Particularly in demand are:

Easily accessible charging points along travel routes
Visibility in navigation apps and roaming networks
Reliability & easy access – no app clutter or complicated tariffs

🌴 Public charging demand rises in summer

For operators, this means: more potential charging sessions = more revenue.

Reasons include holiday trips, high temperatures, more leisure activities, and excursions.

What does this mean for you as a (future) operator?

If you already offer charging infrastructure in public spaces today – or plan to install charging stations – summer is a real growth opportunity.

During the holiday season, you reach:

A growing, mobile target group that relies on charging options
New users who get to know the location – and are happy to return
More utilization of your charging points without additional effort
