For Galp, it represents the inauguration of the first of five quick-charge points for electric cars in its Spanish network of service stations.

This first recharging infrastructure, which is already operating, is located at the Galp service station on highway N-II, P.K. 29.0, headed toward Madrid, in the municipality of Alcalá de Henares. The other four will be located in Málaga, Sevilla, Zaragoza and Badajoz.

All of the quick-charge points have a power of 50 kW, which allows charging an electric car in minutes. Specifically, 80% of the battery capacity is recovered within 15 to 20 minutes. Each point also allows recharging both in continuous current (CCS Combo, CHAdeMO) and in alternating current (Mennekes). So, it will also be possible to provide service to all models of electric cars existing in the market.

Using them could not be easier because all recharging points will be connected to Endesa's digital platform, allowing for the interoperability and remote control of the points. You just need to download the ecaR cell phone application available on iOS and Android, and users will be able to find recharging stations, find out their status and even pay with their credit card without needing to be an Endesa customer. In the future, it will also be possible to use with the Galp platform.

The agreement also forms part of the Public Access Infrastructure Development Plan for Electric Cars that Endesa presented in mid-November—the most ambitious plan to promote electric mobility that has been implemented in the country: 108,000 public and private recharging points for electric cars in the next five years, of which more than 8,500 points will be of public access.

In electric mobility, Galp opened its first quick charge point in 2010. At that time, it became the operator of the first quick charge point in Europe. Galp currently has an ongoing expansion plan that will reinforce coverage on the Iberia Peninsula and the company's leadership role in this new offer. In October 2018, Galp became the first operator in Portugal to offer an integrated plan for mobility, with the launch of an integral solution that provides customers with large discounts, solutions and energy services for transport.

The installation of these five electric car recharging infrastructures within the framework of the CIRVE project was configured by a Spanish consortium to encourage the use of electric cars between Spain, Portugal and France, in a totally interoperable cross-border scene that allows electric car users to drive from Northern Europe to the Iberian Peninsula.

Under the CIRVE project (Iberian Brokers of Electric Car Quick Charge Infrastructure - CIRVE for its acronym in Spanish), a total of 25 new quick-charge points will be installed in Spain and another 15 points will be adapted that are already operating in certain strategic locations of the Iberian brokers. The initiative, which started in late 2015, includes a €3.5 million ($3.95 million) investment and an execution period of more than 4 years. Currently, there are already 21 points in operation.
