"The Australian branch of Swedish home furnishings giant Ikea has completed one
of the country’s biggest charging networks for electric delivery vehicles
thanks to a partnership with leading electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure and
technology company Jet Charge.
Just in time to support Ikea’s goal of electrifying its fleet of delivery
vehicles by the end of 2025, Jet Charge announced this week that it had
completed the mammoth EV charging project, installing 59 EV chargers across 7
Ikea locations around Australia for use by Ikea’s delivery partners.
The new charging network is expected to act as the necessary backbone to
accelerate Ikea Australia’s goal of reaching 100 per cent zero-emission
deliveries.
Currently, 83 per cent of Ikea Australia deliveries are being completed by
zero-emission vehicles, with the company expecting to reach 90 per cent by the
year’s end – just short of its original goal announced back in early 2019.
Among the solutions Jet Charge used to deliver Ikea’s new charging network was
the implementation of smart load management for future proofing and managing
energy constraints across the seven Ikea sites.
Ikea currently has ten locations across Australia, with charging infrastructure
now located at its stores in Tempe (NSW), Rhodes (NSW), Marsden Park (NSW),
Canberra (ACT), Springvale (Vic), and North Lakes (Qld), as well as the Sydney
customer distribution centre in Marsden Park.
Further implementation of the charging network is currently also planned for
Ikea’s stores in Richmond (Vic) and Logan (Qld).
The charging network also features a Chargefox billing system, allowing all
third-party drivers to pay for charging sessions while reimbursing Ikea for
electricity usage."
I also like that the Ikea customer car parks now have EV charging bays.
