B.Grimm has entered the EV charging station market and unveiled its first charging station in River City Bangkok, catering to the growing number of EV drivers. The company provides comprehensive end-to-end EV solutions and diverse investment models for commercial charging stations, including optional solar energy systems for clean energy generation. B.Grimm aims to install 100 EV chargers by the end of 2023.
B.Grimm has been active in energy, industrial, healthcare, digital, lifestyle, and investment sectors in Thailand for over 145 years and caters to various businesses, including those in industrial estates, property developers, factories, commercial buildings, department stores, and more. All of these businesses have the increasing demand for EV charging stations to meet the growing need for electric vehicles which is evident from the 1081% surge in registered battery electric vehicles (BEVs) in Thailand, totaling 14,777 in the first quarter of 2023 compared to only 1,251 in the same period of 2022.
In partnership with other entities, B.Grimm has developed an integrated EV charging station solution that includes design, procurement, installation, and maintenance, providing seamless services. With the aim to drive sustainable development, it also offers various flexible investment options for charging stations, as well as the option to install solar power systems. This enables businesses to harness solar energy and reduce their carbon emissions.
According to Mr. Kitti Pattanaleenakul, President of B.Grimm Industrial Businesses, the company began its venture into the electric vehicle charging station business, starting with three chargers at River City Bangkok. B.Grimm plans to expand to one hundred chargers by 2023 in line with the company’s direction and strategy focusing on energy efficiency to reduce high energy costs for businesses and minimize environmental impact.
“Our EV charging solution includes chargers, an application, a cost calculation system, and a charging and user data management system. This solution differs from other players in the market in several aspects, such as a usage monitoring system that can analyze data to create added value for energy-efficient use by businesses. There is an emerging trend in which real estate developers are increasingly focusing on creating more green buildings to reduce energy use and greenhouse gas emissions that impact the environment. Our system can report on the carbon dioxide emissions reduction over time to support future carbon credit trading. B.Grimm is also ready to install solar power systems integrated into buildings and charging stations to provide genuine clean energy, enabling businesses to receive additional green building scores. This is a complete solution from clean energy production to electric vehicle charging.” stated Mr. Kitti.
River City Bangkok, one of Thailand’s largest art and antique centers, is the location for B.Grimm’s first EV charging station. It is a vibrant venue for international exhibitions, artist talks, film screenings, art auctions, music performances, and also provides a platform to learn about contemporary Thai art. The EV charging station will be available for public use starting from April 7th, 2023.
