Vievo installs smart charging lockers for e-bike batteries at workplaces and commercial properties in Sweden, delivered as a fully managed service.
The problem: more people commute by e-bike, and their lithium-ion batteries end up charging under desks, in stairwells and in bike rooms. A faulty battery can go into thermal runaway, so many facility managers do the only thing they can and ban indoor charging. Staff charge anyway, because they need the battery to get home. That leaves a safety risk nobody controls and a policy nobody follows.
Our solution: every battery gets its own ventilated compartment with gas and heat detection, automatic power cut-off and built-in suppression. The cabinet is designed so that a failing battery does not spread to the compartment next to it. Employees get a safe place to charge while they work, and the building gets one monitored charging point instead of dozens of chargers in random sockets.
How it works: Vievo handles the site survey, installation, monitoring and service. The customer pays a fixed monthly fee with no upfront hardware investment. Energy and usage data from each locker gives employers and property owners measurable input for their sustainability and CSRD reporting.
Why us: a charging ban with no alternative does not work, and we are building that alternative for the Swedish market. Our lockers are built on hardware from PowerShelter (Netherlands), whose units are already in use at sites such as Tesla Gigafactory Berlin and IKEA. Vievo was founded in Uppsala and is backed by an angel investor.
