For several decades, Ikea has been giving free of charge AC charging of electric powered vehicles to clients in warehouses. But on September 1, the provide finished. This is what Siri Norhagen, head of sustainability at Ikea Norway writes, in an e-mail to Teknisk Ukeblad.
Now the corporation has rather entered into a partnership with the recharge operator Recharge.

Due to the fact we fail to see the instant connection involving the action to reduce strength usage and a preset rate contract with much more obtainable present-day in comparison to present day place rates, we need to have to ask:
– How significant is the Ikea mounted price settlement, in which the energy price tag was considerably reduce than the recent a person, for Ikea to intervene to cut down energy intake?
– Ikea consistently displays and functions both equally to decrease electrical energy intake and to come across the best feasible features, at all levels. Such a offer is just a single of the numerous moves we are generating, comparable to the offer with Recharge. In summary, this will save the two on electrical energy usage and allows us ensure additional sustainable transportation for prospects, workers and not the very least residence deliveries, he replies.
