E-mobility continues to develop rapidly. In particular, the
automotive industry is making significant investments in
increasing the range of models and the further
development of battery technologies. Policymakers at
European and national level are also addressing and in
some cases improving the framework conditions for e-
mobility. This pertains to, for instance, stricter CO2 emissions
limits for future new vehicle registrations as well as
regulations for construction measures to improve the
charging infrastructure in residential buildings.

The share of electric vehicles in new registrations in Austria
at the end of 2018 was 6,757 newly registered vehicles, and
thus around 24.4% higher than in the comparative period
of 2017. At the end of December 2018, the number of
electric vehicles totalled 20,831. As a customer-focused full-
service provider, KELAG focuses on charging solutions for
the private sector, solutions for business as well as public
charging solutions. In 2018 in cooperation with Innogy, four
ASFiNAG (“Autobahnen- und Schnellstraßen-
Finanzierungs-Aktiengesellschaft” - Austrian Autobahn and
highway financing stock corporation) sites were equipped
with rapid-charging systems with a capacity of 50 to
150 kW and commissioned. KELAG now operates a network
of 232 public charging stations, thereof 20 rapid-charging
stations. KELAG customers have access to more than 3,000
public charging stations throughout Austria via the
roaming partner network. In October 2018, the first KELAG
E-Mobility Day took place at competence centre for
electromobility. In this context, retail and business
customers were given practical advice on e-mobility
independent of brands as well as on KELAG’s product
portfolio.
