Service4Charger and HIH Real Estate Enter Strategic Partnership for up to 25,000 Charging Points – Setting New Standards for Property Electrification in Germany
Framework Agreement Signed for Entire Portfolio – Smart, Compliant, and Scalable Charging Infrastructure as an ESG Building Block for the Real Estate Sector
Berlin, 05.08.2025– Service4Charger, the leading full-service provider for charging infrastructure, has entered into a strategic partnership with the HIH Real Estate Group. The collaboration was initiated through eternigy, the HIH Group’s subsidiary specialized in charging infrastructure.
The long-term goal of the partnership is to electrify up to 25,000 parking spaces across Germany by 2030. The foundation is a framework agreement covering the entire real estate portfolio managed by the nationwide asset and property manager. As part of this cooperation, Service4Charger will serve as the preferred partner for AC charging infrastructure in all HIH properties.
With this partnership, Service4Charger positions itself as a key implementation partner for the real estate industry, reinforcing its role as a scalable infrastructure partner for office and commercial properties.
At launch, Service4Charger will take over ten already electrified properties from the HIH Group’s portfolio, encompassing a total of 197 parking spaces and 87 charging points in operation. It will act as the charge point operator (CPO) – including billing, contract management, maintenance, and service. An additional 26 sites with over 3,600 parking spaces are currently under evaluation.
“ This partnership highlights our clear focus: we invest directly in charging infrastructure and take on operational responsibility – especially for complex existing properties. This creates real added value for property owners and their users. E-mobility is evolving rapidly, and we ensure property infrastructure keeps up. With our nationwide network of full-time specialists, we are well-equipped ,” says Lucas Althammer, CEO of Service4Charger.
“Electrifying parking spaces is a key component of the ESG strategy for the funds we manage. It is increasingly demanded by both legislators and tenants,” says Lukas Thiede, Head of eMobility at HIH Real Estate.
Scalable Solutions and Digital Infrastructure for the Real Estate Industry
Regulatory requirements for charging infrastructure are increasing – from GEIG and WEMoG to EPBD and CSRD. The revised EU directive on the energy performance of buildings (EPBD) places particular focus on existing buildings: non-residential buildings with more than 20 parking spaces must provide or prepare charging infrastructure by January 2027. The partnership between Service4Charger and HIH Real Estate is a direct response to this shift and sets new standards for the real estate sector.
Service4Charger’s charging infrastructure model is based on scalable, hardware-independent systems – ideal for existing properties with growing needs. The service includes planning, grid connection, commissioning, communication with grid operators, and operation using intelligent load management. Users benefit from digital registration, access via app or card, transparent processes, and support. A nationwide team of full-time professionals – the “Mobile Heroes” – ensures fast and reliable implementation. service4charger.de/loesungen/charging-as-a-service
