About Localiser
Localiser is a software company for the automated construction of charging infrastructure for electromobility. As a spin-off of the Reiner Lemoine Institute, which is committed to the conversion of the energy supply to 100% renewable energies, Localiser works with the knowledge gained from over 13 years of electromobility research.
Our History
Localiser RLI GmbH was founded in Berlin in 2018 by Kathrin Goldammer and Oliver Arnhold - our current management team. We are a spin-off from the Reiner Lemoine Institute, where we developed the idea of automated infrastructure planning. Our vision is a data-driven web platform for everyone who wants to plan the energy and transport transition quickly and easily.
After we had our first customer in 2019, we have developed Localiser into an established company in the electric mobility industry. We can now look back on a national and international customer portfolio. We are currently planning several thousand charging locations in Germany and abroad. And on our 4th birthday, we already recorded the 1000th project on our platform.
Our team currently consists of 12 employees who support us in the realization of the projects and contribute to our success.
What drives us?
Kathrin Goldammer and Oliver Arnhold studied engineering and have been working for over 15 years on the goal of implementing the energy and transport revolution. They want electromobility to prevail! But where are charging points most urgently needed? And how can we help charging point operators and network operators to advance the development of charging infrastructure more quickly?
The "Mobility with Renewable Energies" team at the Reiner Lemoine Institute (RLI) in Berlin is working on this and other topics. Kathrin and Oliver met at the RLI and developed an idea for calculating the positioning of charging stations based on data and automating charging infrastructure planning.
In the fall of 2018, they founded Localiser RLI GmbH for this purpose. The Localiser algorithm makes it possible to automatically position charging points and adapt their performance to forecasts for the development of electromobility. The basis for this is good data: Traffic evolution, socio-demographics, e-car ramp-up, charging behavior in different locations, etc. The Localiser platform will then bring together all the data and network the stakeholders involved in the build-up process.
The start-up Localiser is run by Kathrin and Oliver together as managing partners and currently employs 12 people.
