"In kaum einem anderen Land sind so viele Elektroautos unterwegs, und die Preise an Schnellladestationen sind so hoch," bemerkte Felix Hamer noch in unserem Lademarkt-Report im August. Eine Erhebung von LichtBlick SE, veröffentlicht im April und auf Statista verfügbar, zeigt: Anfang 2024 zahlte man im Schnitt 55 Cent pro kWh für AC und 66 Cent für DC. Viele von uns E-Auto-Fahrenden kennen jedoch auch deutlich höhere Preise – insbesondere, wenn kein Abo abgeschlossen wurde, das das Laden vergünstigt. 💰 Wie unser CPO Sören Ziems jüngst in mehreren Interviews betonte, sind wir überzeugt: Mit dynamischen Preisen können Ladepreise für Verbrauchende attraktiver gestaltet und gleichzeitig Betreibern die Möglichkeit eröffnet werden, ihre Auslastung zu steuern und wirtschaftlicher zu agieren. Win-Win für alle! 🤝 Und klappt das wirklich? Die Pfalzwerke haben es ausprobiert und am 7. Dezember an 33 Ladestandorten eine mutige Preisaktion gestartet: Laden für nur 7 Cent pro kWh! Für uns bei elvah war das die perfekte Gelegenheit, tief in die Daten einzutauchen und die Auswirkungen auf Ladevorgänge, Auslastung und Marktanteil zu analysieren. Kleiner Spoiler: Die Auslastung der Ladestandorte hat sich im Vergleich zu den Wochen zuvor mehr als verdreifacht! 🎉 Die vollständige Analyse mit weiteren spannenden Insights und einem Spotlight auf die Top 3 Standorte haben wir für euch zusammengestellt – natürlich kostenlos. 👉 Den Link zum kostenlosen Download findet ihr in den Kommentaren.

Dynamic Pricing: A Game-Changer for the EV Charging Market 🔌⚡ Can you imagine the impact of flexible pricing on customer behavior and market growth? On 7th December 2024, Pfalzwerke launched a bold price promotion, offering charging at just 7 cents/kWh from 10 am to 7 pm across 33 sites in Germany. The results highlight the transformative potential of dynamic pricing in reshaping customer behavior and creating significant growth opportunities for CPOs: The Results at a Glance: 📈 • Charging sessions nearly tripled at the 33 sites compared to usual Saturdays. • Market share surged from under 10% to an impressive 21% in a single day. • The typical Saturday demand spike was replaced by an astonishing 283% increase in charging sessions. The Big Takeaway:💡 This initiative proves that dynamic pricing can unlock new possibilities for the EV charging market, driving greater utilization, market share, and consumer engagement.

Manchmal ist nicht alles schwarz / weiß sondern grau Schon mal gefragt, ob eure Präsentation wirklich für alle gut erkennbar ist – auch für Kolleg:innen mit Farbfehlsichtigkeit oder anderen visuellen Einschränkungen? Hier ein kleiner Check für euch: Mein AHA-Moment an diesem Mittwoch!

This week we at elvah had our year end company days which was balanced perfectly on reflections and aspirations. My favourite part was not just talking about the highs and lows but focusing on the learnings and how we plan to adapt for 2025. It's actions like this that truly show the motivation towards being agile and growing stronger than before.

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! 🎄✨ As the holidays approach, I decided to sprinkle a little festive cheer into my workspace. From twinkling fairy lights to a mini Christmas tree - my home office is now a merry retreat where productivity meets holiday joy. 🌟 Are you also adding a touch of holiday magic to your workspace this season? Feel free to share a picture of it in the comments! 🎁🎅 Also, a big thank you to Hannah Behrens for the lovely note she left me after working from my desk while taking care of our dog. It makes me smile every day. 🫶 #WorkFromHome #ChristmasVibes #itsthelittlethings

Es war mal wieder soweit. #elvah traf sich die letzten zwei Tage im wunderschönen Taunus zu den Companydays. Johanna Witton und ich nutzten die Möglichkeit das erste Mal gemeinsam an einer Präsentation zu arbeiten und zu halten: Travelpolicy und Budgets. Max. 30 Minuten... Dachten wir.  Beim Präsentieren merkten wir überrascht, dass das Interesse und die Rückfragen groß waren: - Kilometergeld, per diem, Auswahl des Reisemittels, Versicherungen - Was ist denn überhaupt eine MTP und warum muss #eonone die wissen?  Im Alltag vergesse ich ganz gerne, dass bestimmte Themen auf Resonanz und ehrliches Interesse im Team stoßen und nicht jede:r weiß, welche Rechte und Pflichten Mitarbeitende haben.  Sobald die Travelpolicy steht werden wir sie in #notion freigeben und die Budgets in #moss veröffentlichen. Mehr Transparenz und Wissensteilung für die Mitarbeitenden... Yeah!!!  Vielen Dank für die Orga an alle Beteiligten und bis ganz bald wieder 💚

Today reminds us how important small gestures can be - be it a kind word, a smile or a conscious moment for sustainability. 💚 Let's work together to make the world a better place - with consideration, openness and a dose of Christmas cheer. To all of you celebrating this day, we wish you a wonderful St Nicholas' Day! 🎄 #sustainability

Marketing LIVE in Nuremberg: From Crazy Ideas to Dubai Chocolate 🍫💡 Last week, our marketing team (Carolina, Nastassia, Louisa, and I) came together for two days packed with creativity, team vibes, and exciting brainstorming sessions. My absolute favorite? The Crazy Ideas slot. We gave ourselves the time and space to think out of the box, dream big, and come up with truly creative concepts. Which of these ideas will come to life? Stay tuned – the best is yet to come! 😉 We also tested our teamwork in an escape room, where we – in true Indiana Jones style – successfully recovered the Holy Grail. If that’s not setting the tone for 2025, I don’t know what is! 🏆 And then, just before heading home, we made a sweet discovery: handmade Dubai chocolate, courtesy of Nastia’s sharp eye during a last-minute gingerbread run. Just as easy-pickings when everyone else is standing in line for it. Proof that great ideas (and treats) come easy when you are with the right people. 🍬 Here’s to a year ahead filled with big goals, team spirit, and maybe a whole lot of sweet treats! #Marketing #Teamwork #CrazyIdeas #2025Goals #SweetDiscoveries

As a recruiter, one of the most challenging moments is receiving an email like this: "Could you share a brief reason why I wasn’t selected? Even something like 'the design process wasn't clearly explained in the portfolio' would be valuable." I understand the courage it takes to ask for feedback, and I genuinely wish I could provide detailed insights to help every candidate improve. But here’s the reality: recruiters often can't give specific feedback due to: 1️⃣ Volume: With dozens (sometimes hundreds!) of applications per role, providing individualized feedback isn't feasible. 2️⃣ Fairness: It's tough to balance consistency in feedback while considering subjective elements in the selection process. 3️⃣ Legal and Confidentiality Risks: Detailed feedback can unintentionally open doors to misunderstandings or liability concerns. That said, I still want to be supportive! While I may not always provide tailored feedback, here’s what you can do to improve: ✅ Ask for feedback during portfolio reviews or interviews: This is often the best chance to hear specifics. ✅ Connect with peers in your field: Join communities or forums for portfolio critiques and advice. ✅ Request portfolio reviews outside of job applications: Many recruiters and hiring managers are happy to give advice in a non-application context. Remember, not getting selected isn’t a reflection of your talent—it’s about role alignment. Keep going! 🌟 How do you handle feedback as a candidate or recruiter? I’d love to hear your perspective! #Recruitment #CareerTips #CandidateExperience #DesignHiring
