Massagno, the second most populated centre in the Lugano district (Switzerland), focuses its project on the urban district of Via Motta.
This area consists of several multi-family buildings, some commercial buildings, an elderly care home, and large office buildings. The district also hosts a PV plant with a total installed capacity of 59 kWp on the roof of the elderly care home, while a V2G-ready EV charging column (DC, 10 kWe) together with a car-sharing vehicle (Honda e – 35.5 kWh of electric storage) can be used as a flexibility and battery storage solution. The pilot site also has two 11 kWe public charging stations for electric vehicles (EVs) that are available to residents.
GINNGER’s strategy emphasises the use of electric vehicles in creating sustainable and affordable lifestyles. The integration of electromobility solutions and the expansion of the public EV infrastructure are our strategic goals.

The action
Expanding the EV charging infrastructure within the district in the coming years.
GINNGER’s role
We will apply the e-mobility tool and the co-creation methodology to identify the optimal location of EV chargers with all stakeholders. GINNGER will develop algorithms to ensure the efficient functioning of this infrastructure, promoting an affordable and sustainable lifestyle.
The action
Promoting sustainable and affordable lifestyles within the district to increase involvement.
GINNGER’s role
We will inform people about the benefits of using energy more efficiently with the help of the easy SRI platform and air quality tool by proposing ventilation schemes to improve energy efficiency and health conditions.
The action
Evaluating the creation of an energy community within the district.
GINNGER’s role
We will employ the energy community tool to suggest energy-efficiency measures to lower grid consumption. After optimisation, the co-creation methodology will help determine best practices and increase participation.
Energy Efficiency
Increase the energy community self-consumption and self-sufficiency
Electric mobility
Penetration of public charging stations within the neighborhood by a factor of 3
Urban spaces
Increase in the adoption of charging stations (public/shared).
