ELECTRIC CHARGING STATIONS AT ICE LOUVAIN: A NEW SERVICE FOR TENANT COMPANIES
Mobility is evolving and habits are changing. At ICE Louvain, we’re keeping pace with these changes. Electric vehicle charging stations are now installed in the Business Center parking lot, 📍 6 Rue Louis de Geer, a two-minute walk from the main building, to support companies that rent office space at ICE Louvain.
This new service helps promote more sustainable mobility and keeps us in step with the practical needs of the businesses based here.
Electric cars are playing an increasingly important role in corporate fleets. Commutes, client meetings, and team travel are being reorganized.
With these terminals, we are contributing to this evolution to make your workday easier.
A SERVICE DESIGNED FOR COMPANIES BASED AT ICE LOUVAIN
These charging stations round out the work environment offered at our site.
They address an increasingly common need: the ability to charge an electric vehicle during the workday without having to look for a charging option elsewhere.
For tenant companies, this saves time.
For the site, this is another step toward more responsible mobility.
The goal is clear: to provide you with a work environment that adapts to your needs.
HOW DO I ACCESS THE SERVICE?
To use the charging stations, you must go through Commuty.
This service is exclusively reserved for ICE Louvain staff and companies that lease space on the premises. The charging stations are located in the Business Center parking lot at 6 Rue Louis de Geer, a two-minute walk from the main building. Parking spaces equipped with charging stations are reserved exclusively for electric vehicles that are currently charging. Gas-powered vehicles may not park in these spaces or reserve a spot via Commuty.
There are two ways to access Commuty:
- On your computer, through app.commuty.net
- On mobile, via the Commuty app, available on the App Store and Play Store
You can use both at the same time.
To create your account, you must sign up using your work email address. You can sign up from app.commuty.net or from the mobile app.
If the domain name of your work email address is on the platform's approved list, you will be automatically redirected to the ICE LLN kiosk reservation page.
This means that access is linked to your company’s tenant account with ICE Louvain. If your email domain is not recognized, access to the reservation portal will not be granted automatically. If your domain name is not entered, please contact Julien Riat or Christian Dewandre.
HOW DO I RESERVE A LOADING SLOT?
Once you're logged in to Commuty, you'll have access to a personal calendar. This calendar lets you reserve a charging slot on your own. The concept is simple: first come, first served.
You can make a reservation:
- in the morning, from 8h to 12h30
- or in the afternoon, from 12h30 to 17h
Reservations can be made up to 3 days in advance, with only one time slot per day.
Important note: Be sure to check the box “J’ai besoin d’une borne de recharge” checked in your request options. It will be selected by default.
Of the 8 terminals, 1 is reserved for external users/visitors. Please do not use it.
ONE PARKING SPACE ASSIGNED TO EACH RESERVATION
Once your reservation is confirmed, you will be assigned a kiosk numbered 1 through 8.
You must use the docking station corresponding to the number assigned to you. Only this docking station can be unlocked using the Commuty app (by scanning the docking station’s QR code with the app).
If two people share the same charging station on a given day, they are connected in Commuty. You can then use the built-in chat to coordinate vehicle rotation.
HOW DO YOU LAUNCH THE CHARGE?
You can start your upload at any time during your scheduled time slot.
If the charging station is available, you can start charging up to 60 minutes before the start of your time slot.
To unlock the charging station, scan the QR code affixed to it using your Commuty app. You'll need the Commuty mobile app to start charging.
Once the terminal is unlocked:
- Plug in the cable
- Scan your credit card
- Start the charge
At the end of the reserved time slot, the power automatically shuts off.
It is important to vacate the station at the scheduled time so that the next person can use it.
For example, if you reserved the morning time slot, charging ends at 12h30. You must then vacate the charging station for the person who reserved the next time slot.
In the event of a no-show, a fee will be charged. If you are ultimately unable to come, please be sure to cancel your reservation. Similarly, any vehicle parked in a designated charging spot without a reservation will also be charged a fee.
EASIER MOBILITY, RIGHT AT YOUR WORKPLACE
With these terminals, ICE Louvain continues to enhance its services to meet the needs of the companies located on the site.
Electric mobility is one of the changes currently underway. It already affects many companies and will continue to grow. By integrating this service, we are moving forward with this transition. You’ll benefit from a convenient solution, available at your workplace, designed to make your day-to-day life easier.
To use the kiosks, create an account on app.commuty.net or through the Commuty mobile app, then book your charging slot from your personal account.
