You can find an overview of all billing options in theeCarUp backend summarized on our Billing Options page.

At Energie Thun, we are convinced of the benefits of sustainable electric mobility. That is why we want to proactively offer our customers simple and compelling solutions. eCarUp provides us with the tools we need through a powerful yet flexible platform—for all relevant use cases in our service area.

Charging Options for Tenants

Private charging stations should be as straightforward as possible, both for residents and for building management. That’s why Energie Thun offers eCarUp@home, a simple and smart charging solution for apartment buildings. Energie Thun bills tenants directly for energy, maintenance, and, if applicable, rent on their electricity bills. To do this, eCarUp transfers the meter load profile data via an interface to Energie Thun AG’s billing system. This allows the energy provider to bill its end customers using standard processes. The interfaces to third-party systems are part of our charging solution for municipal utilities.

The ongoing shift toward electric mobility, combined with digitalization, presents significant opportunities for municipal utilities but also brings with it a number of challenges. The real-time data from the eCarUp platform enables us to develop innovative business models and implement forward-looking monitoring in the distribution network area—for example, for regional load management.

Corporate Charging Stations

Everyone benefits from charging stations that are open to the public, at least part of the time. The operators decide for themselves who can charge and when. With the charging solution from the energy provider Energie Thun, different prices can be set for different user groups. This creates a win-win-win situation: otherwise unused charging points can be rented out and thus made accessible to other users. This gives electric vehicle drivers more charging options, and station owners recoup their investments more quickly. In addition, thanks to the organically growing charging network, Energie Thun needs to invest less in expensive public infrastructure.

Employee Parking Spaces

The employee parking spaces at Energie Thun AG are available only to employees during business hours. In the evenings and on weekends, the general public may also charge their vehicles there for a slightly higher fee.

Public Charging Stations

All public charging stations in Thun are listed in the eCarUp app . The cost of a charge is also displayed to drivers in real time. In addition, charging can be initiated by scanning the QR code at the station. This requires a credit card in addition to a smartphone. Once charging is complete, the corresponding amount is charged to the card, and the driver receives a receipt. This ensures complete transparency.

Example: Fast-Charging Stations

The 3-in-1 fast charger available at the Hohmad Shop provides fast charging for all plug types. Users can activate CCS, ChaDemo, and Type 2 connectors individually via an app or QR code. Payment is made by credit card directly to an account held by Energie Thun AG.
