Case Study of the Charging Station at the High Five Office Complex in the Heart of Kraków

Modern office spaces must meet the evolving expectations of both property managers and tenants. It is crucial not only to provide functional infrastructure but also to create an environment that supports sustainability and a healthy lifestyle. Addressing these needs, CBRE, a leader in commercial real estate management, and Seedia joined forces to introduce an innovative micro-mobility solution at one of Kraków’s most recognizable office complexes – High Five.

Business Context and Challenge

High Five is not just an office building – it is a symbol of modernity and environmental commitment, located in Kraków’s dynamically developing business district. For CBRE, the key challenge was supporting tenants and their employees by providing infrastructure that allows them to safely park and charge their small electric vehicles, which are becoming an increasingly popular means of commuting to work.

The long-term goal?

• Reducing the number of cars on the roads and in parking lots.
• Increasing employee convenience.
• Reinforcing CBRE’s commitment to environmental protection.

To achieve these objectives, the choice was clear: an autonomous, solar-powered charging station – jCharge.

The Solution: jCharge – A Smart Charging Station

jCharge is more than just a device – it is a comprehensive solution that combines modernity, convenience, and eco-friendliness.

Key Features:

• 8 charging points with lockers – allowing multiple electric devices, such as scooters and bicycles, to charge simultaneously.
• Solar-powered – fully autonomous operation without the need for external energy sources.
• Authorization via the ParkCash app – intuitive access management using a QR code.
• Advanced reporting – the InCity platform provides detailed usage data, including calculations of CO₂ emissions savings.
