Portfolio approach drives electric mobility in residential properties
Helvetia Baloise is installing charging stations for electric cars in its properties with Energie 360°. The energy and e-mobility company has already taken over, expanded or newly installed over 150 charging stations in 13 buildings. Six further properties are in the planning stage, with more to follow.
According to a press release, Helvetia Baloise Holding AG, the insurance company formed in December 2025 from a merger between Helvetia and Baloise, is promoting e-mobility together with its partner Energie 360°. The energy and e-mobility company, which is 96 per cent owned by the City of Zurich, has already taken over more than 150 charging stations in 13 properties, mainly in western Switzerland, the Mittelland and Basel.
As Reto Baschera, head of the mobility group at Energie 360°, emphasises, the expansion is “demand-driven and geared to the requirements of the tenants”. According to the information provided, six further properties are currently in the planning stage, with more to follow gradually. The focus is on a harmonised portfolio approach with a hardware-independent billing solution that takes into account different building types and product characteristics. Helvetia Baloise has a total of around 845 properties in Switzerland with approximately 30,000 apartments.
“For me in strategic procurement at Helvetia Baloise, it was crucial to find a partner who sees electromobility not as a single product, but as an integrated part of a large real estate portfolio,” says Karin Hauser of Baloise Asset Management AG. “In our collaboration with Energie 360°, we particularly appreciate the structured approach, the reliable implementation and the ability to pragmatically map different starting points in our properties.”
