Your wallbox has finally arrived. But before you can charge your vehicle with it, it has to be installed and set up. We will explain how to install your wallbox safely—we recommend installation by an electrical contractor.

In January 2023 the successful series #GREENthankyou was continued and awarded to a true driver and enabler of eMobility - Sebastian Henßler.

Conservation of resources, efficient use of energy sources, a careful approach to the environment: companies are required to set and achieve new sustainability targets every year. This is where suppliers also come into play, because energy-saving technology, durable and low-maintenance products, and special programs that can detect and respond to failures at an early stage play a major role in achieving sustainability goals.

At KEBA, we follow this path by always keeping the sustainability factor in mind when developing and manufacturing our products - from the initial idea, to the prototype, to the series product. We see this as our contribution on the way to a sustainable, resource-saving society. This benefits not only us, but also our customers.

Our KeContact P30 PV EDITION – ideally in combination with our PV sets – enables you to utilise self-produced solar power.

An electric car needs a charging station. If you don’t want to depend on public charging points or your employer’s station, you need your own wallbox at home. Such a wallbox is safer than a domestic socket and lets you charge at night without hassle. These step-by-step suggestions tell you what you need to consider in your quest for a wallbox.

Do you have a hotel or a company and would like to bill for the energy that your guests, employees or customers charge into their electric cars? In this case we have an easy-to-use and cost-effective solution for you: the KEBA eMobility Solution for Hotels & Companies.

Low temperatures are a particular challenge for electric cars: cold weather decreases the range and potentially compromises the charging capacity of the battery. However, with these 5 tips, you can counteract the “winter weakness” of battery-powered electric vehicles.

We are convinced that the use of clean electricity for individual mobility instead of fossil fuels is a key element of the energy transition. We are not fighting the path to electric mobility alone. We have allies: special people who are committed to the electrification of mobility. The #GREENthankyou Award from KEBA is an award for these special personalities.

Electromobility is swiftly becoming a mass phenomenon. And so, the need for information on the subject of charging is also growing. As one of the leading manufacturers of charging solutions, we are happy to pass our knowledge on directly, by way of video clips – on our very own YouTube channel.

There are still more ICE vehicles than electric cars. But what if the situation changes over the next few years? Are the power inputs, particularly of large residential buildings, de-signed to have the majority of tenants “fill their tanks” at home?

A PV system on your roof lowers your energy costs and is an important building block on the path to energy self-sufficiency. Individual mobility also becomes significantly cheaper when the power for your electric car comes from your very own solar power plant. This is why we developed the KeContact P30 PV EDITION.

Charge point operators play a key role in the expansion of the charging infrastructure. That's why they are an essential partner for us as wallbox manufacturers. We spoke to Fermin Bustamante from Vattenfall InCharge about the role of electric mobility, challenges and future prospects.

On October 14, this year's EY Entrepreneur Of The Year Award was presented in Austria. In the category "Sustainability & Greentech" Gerhard Luftensteiner, CEO of KEBA Group AG was awarded.

At the beginning of 2021 we sold the 250,000th wallbox. Just 20 months later, this number has doubled to half a million. The reason behind this: the specialisation in intelligent charging technology and consistently climate-neutral production at the site in Linz.

5 days of Light+Building are behind us and with them many opportunities for intensive exchange and discussions with customers, partners and interested parties. Among the many visitors this year, KEBA's Digital Solutions aroused particular interest, i.e. the recently presented KEBA eMobility App for charging and managing the KeContact P30 wallboxes, but also the eMobility solution for hotels and companies.

It’s all the rage: bidirectional charging. The car battery is used not only to store energy for driving but also to supply electricity – to other consumers, the building, the grid. But this extended usage of the car also bears some challenges.

In just a few days, it's time for Light+Building to open its doors again - this time under the motto "Breaking new ground". The focus of the trade fair, which brings together professionals from the electrical industry with manufacturers, is on intelligent, networked solutions and innovative technologies. It is clear that the eMobility area of KEBA Energy Automation cannot be missing. Many innovations are waiting to be discovered by you - visit us at booth E39 in hall 12.1!

With our #GREENthankyou wallbox, we want to thank personalities who – like us – are driving the mission of shaping a sustainable future and making remarkable contributions in terms of electric mobility and the energy transition. One of them is Christian Clerici – the Austrian eMobility ambassador.

PV excess charging | Installing photovoltaic (PV) solar panels on your roof allows you to generate not only power for your home or the grid. Solar electric energy can also go directly to your electric vehicle - and thereby significantly shorten the amortisation period of a PV system by reducing charging costs. We explain what PV excess charging is exactly and how it works.

Electric company cars are often charged at employees' homes. The electricity used must be recorded separately from private consumption. With our new company car wallbox, we offer a charging station that enables automatic billing of the charging current with the employer.

The KEBA eMobility App will be available for download in the App Stores in just a few weeks. We are looking for testers so that it will then work perfectly for all KEBA wallbox users.

During the visit by Automobili Estrema CEO Gianfranco Pizzuto in Linz, it was announced that we at KEBA are Automobili Estrema's selected partner in the area of charging. Proudly the Italian electromobility pioneer and investor, who has been committed to electromobility since 2007 reported on its plans.

The planning of the new KEBA site in Leonding/Pasching (AT) is progressing rapidly. The winning project by the Viennese office Franz&Sue was selected from ten submissions.

Due to the electric motor’s extremely high efficiency factor, electric vehicles use significantly less energy than their combustion-engine counterparts. But does that automatically make their consumption costs much cheaper? Here is a cost comparison between using electricity and the fuels petrol and diesel for your car.

Independent tests by external experts, reviews, and user testimonials provide information about the strengths and weaknesses of a given product. They help consumers make informed decisions – and manufacturers become better. Here are the most recent test results about KEBA wallboxes.

The KEBA Group, headquartered in Linz, increased its sales from € 415.4 million to € 537.7 million in the past business year

You often see public charging stations in the German-speaking world reading the letters ME. They stand for "Mess- und Eichrecht" (measurement and calibration act). But what does that mean? What other calibration standards are out there? And why do I need a calibrated wallbox for my personal use? Here are the answers.

Before and during charging, a charging station communicates with the electric car. To make sure all new models allow for trouble-free charging with wallboxes from KEBA, we have developed regular compatibility tests. Armin Weberberger explains what it is about.

Our presence at Power2Drive in Munich made two things very clear: E-mobility has finally arrived in the mainstream of society. And with our current and upcoming products, we are fully prepared for the challenges of today and tomorrow.

A wallbox can do much more than is commonly believed. Depending on its features, it allows using self-produced PV energy, transferring data via 4G, or evaluating individual charging sessions. To find the right model quickly, we are now offering our convenient Wallbox Finder.

Since 'Power2Drive' could also be the motto of the electromobility business unit of KEBA Energy Automation, we can't miss out on the trade fair in Munich. This year, visitors can look forward to a particularly large number of innovations at our booth.

On May 5 and 6, 2022 the first so-called 'Long Night of E-Mobility' (German: 'Lange Nacht der E-Mobilität') will take place. On these days, we will keep the doors open at the KEBA eMobility Store until 9:00 pm to give interested customers insights into the world of charging.

The Upper Austrian automation specialist KEBA continues to grow. In the last year alone, the internationally active company has grown by 225 employees, the majority of them in Austria. KEBA has thus reached the 2.000-employee mark.

They are live—the social media channels of KEBA’s eMobility segment! As of now, we are offering exciting information about our charging solutions and all things electromobility on Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn.

Last year’s launch of the KeContact P30 GREEN EDITION, the first carbon-neutral wallbox, marked a big step for us at KEBA Energy Automation toward sustainability – and more milestones are on the horizon.

From 6 to 10 April 2022, the World Sustainable Energy Days - the leading conference on the topic of energy transition and climate neutrality - took place once again in Wels, Upper Austria. Among 650 experts from over 50 countries, KEBA was of course also represented as the Austrian market leader in charging solutions.

Electric cars are increasingly the first choice for a company’s vehicle fleet. To make the best use of them, drivers should charge them at home – the electric vehicle can park overnight and thus refuel in the most economic way. To pass on that part of the electricity bill to the employer, there are various options.

The latest software update for KEBA’s x-series wallboxes offers both technical improvements and operating comfort. As always, it is free of charge and easy to install. So, we stay true to our principle: to keep improving our own products when they are already in use.

As the leading manufacturer of intelligent charging stations for hybrid and electric vehicles, KEBA is today opening the eMobility Store at Leonfeldnerstraße 2 in Linz-Urfahr together with LINZ AG.

‚Smart’ is an attribute used for many things: watches, TVs, phones, and even entire houses. What does the quality of smartness in everyday objects mean for us? And more importantly, what does ‚smart’ mean in a wallbox? Find the answers here.

Installing photovoltaic (PV) solar panels on your roof allows you to generate not only power for your home or the grid. Solar electric energy can also go directly to your electric vehicle - and thereby significantly shorten the amortisation period of a PV system by reducing charging costs. We explain what excess PV charging is exactly and how it works.

From the outside, a conventional combustion engine differs only marginally from its electric relative - internally, however, it differs a great deal. A different engine brings with it many new terms that require explanation. From 'A' as in 'AC' to 'F' as in 'FI circuit breaker' and many other terms, we have listed the most important technical vocabulary that an e-car driver should know.

There are still more ICE vehicles than electric cars. But what if the situation changes over the next few years? Are the power inputs, particularly of large residential buildings, de-signed to have the majority of tenants “fill their tanks” at home? The answer is yes – if the load management is sophisticated enough.

People often cite charging time as a major shortcoming of electric vehicles. However, the duration is dependent on many factors and can range from a few minutes to several hours. Find out below what causes such big divergences and why the actual charging time is irrelevant in most cases.

Aside from the inner qualities of a wallbox – which include performance and safety features as well as attributes such as user identification, consumption gauge, and communication with existing systems – a purely external distinction can be made between two types: wallboxes with a fixed cable and wallboxes with a charging socket. These are the advantages of both models.

If you want to drive an e-car or a plug-in hybrid, you have to deal with the subject of charging. You’ll quickly come across terms like alternating and direct current, single-phase and 3-phase charging. But what do they mean and how do these concepts influence the way you charge your vehicle? Here’s a summary of the most important points.

Those who want to be able to charge their electric car or plug-in hybrid at home face a decision: To buy either a mobile charging station or a permanently installed wallbox? Before deciding on one of the two options, you should ask yourself the following three questions in order to make the right choice.

With modern plug-in hybrids, distances of up to 90 kilometers can be achieved purely electrically. That is usually enough for the commute to work or other everyday journeys. All the same, the batteries of these PHEVs are significantly smaller than those of purely battery-electric vehicles (BEVs). So, is a household socket sufficient for daily charging or does it still make sense to have a charging station?

The international Best Managed Companies programme, which is already established in more than 30 countries and awards outstandingly managed companies, was carried out in Austria for the first time this year. KEBA is one of the first Austrian award winners.

In 2021, the International Automobile Exhibition IAA became IAA Mobility. The name says it all: Rather than putting only the car at center stage, the focus was now on mobility today and tomorrow. In addition to cars, especially bicycles and even small airplanes were presented at the Munich Trade Fair Center.

The standard delivery of an electric car in Europe usually includes a Type 2 charging cable that can be used for charging at a public charging station or wallbox with a socket, as well as a so-called emergency power cable with a Type F plug for the standard 230 V power outlet. You can use this emergency power cable to charge your electric car (or PHEV) in your garage at home. But should you really do that? There are several reasons why you shouldn't.

Under the motto "What will move us next", the IAA (International Motor Show) will take place in Munich for the first time from September 7 to 12. As KEBA Energy Automation, the IAA at the new location and the new event concept is a fixed point.

Those who want to charge their cars not only at work or at public charging stations, but also at home, have to consider a number of aspects. Here are compact answers to the six most important questions, from the approval and installation of a wallbox to charging speed and electricity costs.

A car with a combustion engine is refueled publicly at a service station. Why not do the same with an electric vehicle? After all, the public charging network has a large number of charging stations and gone are the days when people were forced to charge at home because the network had not been sufficiently developed. Four facts speak in favor of charging at home nonetheless.

With a turnover of 415.4 M€, which corresponds to an increase of around 11%, the KEBA Group once again achieved the highest revenues in its history. Considered over a period of 10 years, the company thus quadrupled its sales. In a dynamic year characterized by Corona, KEBA benefited from its different pillars, which operate in different industries and markets and are therefore subject to different cycles and triggers. With a new structure, KEBA strengthens its growth course.

The list of nominated companies was long and all of them are top companies in Upper Austrian industry. Therefore, we are particularly pleased that we were awarded the Pegasus in bronze in the category "Lighthouses" this year at the most important business award in Upper Austria.
