We are used to being able to work anywhere with Wi-Fi: on the roof terrace, in the lounge, restaurant, or workshop room.

But this newfound freedom has long been hampered by floor boxes, cable boxes, and wall sockets—a real showstopper. The turning point is now here: advances in battery technology are making electricity as commonplace as Wi-Fi—mobile, flexible, and available everywhere.

Why “now”? – The technological leap behind freedom?

• Higher energy density: Lithium-ion cells have increased from ~140 Wh/kg to >250 Wh/kg in just over ten years – this is the lever that makes compact, powerful batteries economically viable.
• Pack architecture instead of just chemistry: Cell-to-pack designs (e.g., CATL “Qilin”) increase volumetric utilization (up to ~72%) and enable range and performance gains without modules – the same approach also scales to smaller form factors.
• Chemistry innovation in series production: LFP/LMFP is becoming more efficient (higher voltage, better cycle stability, robust safety) and rapidly gaining market share – a driver for affordable, safe batteries in everyday use.
• Silicon anodes (some hybrid with graphite) are moving from the roadmap to application; +20–40% energy density at the cell level is being realistically addressed – with noticeable advantages in capacity and fast charging.

Evidence from e-mobility:

What a Porsche Taycan with an 800 V system and up to 320 kW DC charging power is demonstrating today – high charging windows, short downtimes – shows the maturity of technologies that also enable power density and charging speed “on a small scale.” Lucid illustrates the efficiency line in parallel (high ranges, long distances per charging time). Mercedes’ VISION EQXX demonstrates what consistent system efficiency can already achieve today (>1,000 km with <10 kWh/100 km in a test environment). These examples are no longer exotic, but a signal: the era of truly mobile energy supply has begun.

What does this mean in concrete terms for everyday office life?

For companies (organization/“east side”)

• More agile use of space: Rooms are no longer planned around power outlets. Renovations (core drilling, cable ducts) are eliminated or reduced – CapEx decreases and conversion times are shortened.
• Future-proof layouts: Teams, processes, zones – everything can be moved without structural intervention. Investments retain their value.
• Cleaner aesthetics: High-quality tables remain intact (no cable boxes), sofas without “power outlet warts.” This increases perceived value and brand impact.
• Employer branding: “Work anywhere inside” becomes a differentiator – measurably attractive to next-gen talen

For employees (flexibility & collaboration)

• Every place becomes a workplace: restaurant, terrace, focus room, workshop – energy follows work, not the other way around.
• Flow instead of frustration: no searching for power outlets, no interruptions. 8+ hours of mobile power for laptops, monitors, phones – even height-adjustable tables are included.
• Better collaboration: Groups spontaneously change context, creative phases arise where energy and the team happen to be.
• Ergonomics & health: More posture changes, more micro-movement – without being tethered by cables.

Back to the office – why mobile energy is a game changer

The pandemic has shown that working alone from home works well. But people are returning to the office because they seek interaction, creativity, and cooperation. It is precisely these moments that require spontaneity and flexibility – and these often fail due to infrastructure limitations.

Mobile energy thus becomes a key argument for the office:

• Teams work more interactively because rooms can be freely chosen.
• Workshop settings are created ad hoc instead of statically in “meeting rooms.”
• Attractive working environments draw employees back – an office that makes freedom tangible becomes a source of motivation in itself.
• This makes mobile energy not just a technical feature, but a strategic tool for ensuring the relevance of the office in the hybrid working world.
• Omnicharge removes this barrier. Energy finally becomes as natural as Wi-Fi.

This makes mobile energy not just a technical feature, but a strategic tool for ensuring the relevance of the office in the hybrid working world.

Omnicharge eliminates this very boundary. Energy finally becomes as natural as Wi-Fi.

What the Omnicharge system looks like:

• Central power station with mobile batteries
• Connection variety: USB-C, USB-A, AC outlet, wireless charging
• Multiple devices in parallel, passthrough for uninterrupted work
• Digital transparency (utilization/usage), security (authorization)

In short: Energy becomes a service layer like Wi-Fi—invisible, ubiquitous, scalable.

Why this is only now working in a “revolutionary” way

A few years ago, size, weight, charging times, and cycle stability would have slowed down the everyday usability of mobile power ecosystems. Today, combined cell/pack design, better chemistries (LFP/LMFP), and fast-charging windows enable a practical solution for everyday office use – the same trends that allow electric cars to charge faster, drive further, and operate more safely (CATL Qilin, BYD Blade 2nd gen., 800 V architectures; see above). We are at the beginning of the next stage – but the first wave is already working very well.

Conclusion: Electricity is becoming the second Wi-Fi – giving people the freedom to choose where they want to work.

The productivity dividend arises when space, furniture, acoustics, lighting, and digital tools merge into a flexible overall system. Hauser Office thinks exactly like this – and mobile energy is the missing building block that truly decouples freedom, focus, and flow.

This is particularly crucial in the “back-to-office” context: people will only be happy to return if offices offer more than working from home. Mobile energy is a visible sign of this – and makes the office an attractive place for interaction, not restriction.
