AgeVolt for cities and municipalities – self-directed urban charging


Cities have already experienced expensive concessions for public lighting or parking – and today they know how much a contract in the hands of a stranger costs. Charging electric cars is at the same crossroads. If a municipality leases parking spaces to a private CPO, it hands over pricing, data and feedback for decades to come. AgeVolt allows you to build a network of city chargers – from slow stations in housing estates to fast hubs on roadways – without new electrical connections and without unnecessary “boxes” in the streets. We power the stations from the existing infrastructure (public lighting, municipal buildings), architecturally integrate them into the space and connect them to the city’s parking system via MyAgeVolt . Residents pay less thanks to a parking card, tourists charge quickly and the income from kWh remains in the municipal coffers; we handle grants and administration for you.

Problem

  • The 20-year concession will hand over pricing and data to a private CPO.
  • Expensive kWh – residents and tourists pay more, the city earns nothing.
  • Grant shortage – subsidies are drawn by the operator, not the local government.
  • Without parking integration - cannot combine residential card + charging.
  • New connections, new visual smog
    – unnecessary circuit breakers and “boxes” in the streets.

Possible consequences

If the municipality hands over charging to a private CPO, it loses control over both the price and quality of the service , and the same scenario as with disadvantageous concessions for lighting or parking threatens. Drivers pay €0.49/kWh, residents complain that home charging is more expensive than refueling with diesel, and tourists move to a neighboring city with cheaper infrastructure. The city treasury does not collect any revenue , because the added value remains in the hands of the operator; the budget therefore does not have the resources to expand the network or for other public services. Since the stations are not integrated into the parking system, the municipality cannot offer residential discounts or control occupancy, and electromobility becomes a “premium luxury” instead of an accessible public good. With each new electric car, citizen pressure grows, but the city is bound by a 20-year contract that hinders it from modernization and sustainable development.

Solution

AgeVolt makes urban charging a self-financing public service.

The municipality will connect chargers to the MyAgeVolt platform - without commitment, without new circuit breakers, without additional officials. Residents will receive a unified city app in which they can see parking and charging on one map ; the resident card automatically reduces the price of kWh, tourists pay by roaming.

Our energy management doses power according to the network load, so the stations can be powered from existing public lighting or office connections - no fixed fees for reserved capacity. Architectural solutions (lamp boom, spiral Dimension X ) blend in with the street and do not add visual smog.

Each transaction is billed directly to the city; AgeVolt's SaaS payment is only a small portion of the actual energy billed, so the city's treasury grows along with the number of electric cars . In the same interface, you manage a fleet of company cars, shared e-deliveries of municipal services, or car-sharing projects, and the platform generates CO₂ reports for ESG and grant calls.

If the municipality eventually finds a different model, the data and hardware remain its own – the risk is minimal, the opportunity is maximum. Charging thus becomes a profitable, sustainable and meaningful pillar of a modern city, improving the quality of life of residents and bringing new revenue without increasing taxes.
