The success of the energy turnaround is only conceivable with a transport turnaround. And a transport turnaround is also based on the increased use of electromobility. "Electromobility is particularly environmentally friendly when real green electricity is used. Electric vehicles and trains that run on coal-fired power or are simply painted green with virtual green power certificates are only half-hearted contributions to the energy and transport turnaround," says Dietmar Oeliger, chairman of Grüner Strom Label e.V. and head of transport policy at NABU.

The Grüner Strom-Label is standard on the electric mobility market for all those who want to Advancing the transport and energy transition with genuine green electricity would like. In a new brochure, interested parties can now learn about concrete practical examples and business areas of e-mobility with certified green electricity. The brochure is available here ready for download.

For example, NATURSTROM AG supplies 450 public charging stations with certified green electricity, the parcel service provider Hermes wants to put 1,500 new electric vans on the road with certified green electricity, and Polarstern offers tailor-made e-mobility tariffs for households, fleets and charging networks.

According to a representative survey commissioned by Grüner Strom Label e.V. from the YouGov market research institute a few years ago, 70 percent of citizens would like the electricity for electric vehicles to come from renewable sources. But not all green electricity is the same - there are considerable differences in quality.

Clarity is provided by the Grüner Strom-Label. The Green Electricity Criteria not only ensure that 100 % is charged with genuine green electricity. They also guarantee that a fixed subsidy amount is invested in new energy transition projects for each certified kilowatt hour. This is how more and more good e-mobility projects are being implemented.
