ARCHIVED - New fast charging points for electric cars in Pilar de Horadada
A facility with three recharging points is now open to the public in the Vega Baja municipality, Alicante province
In a bid to promote mobility with zero emissions, three fast charging points for electric vehicles have been installed in Pilar de Horadada and will be available 24 hours a day.
The facility is located in the Municipal Sports Centre car park, where there is a "high volume of daily traffic", according to the local council, with a view to adding additional charging points if demand is high.
Two fast chargers, 50 kilowatts (kW) of power each, have been installed, along with a double semi-fast (22 kW + 22 kW), to allow up to four vehicles to be charged simultaneously.
"The project is part of an agreement reached between Iberdrola and the local council to tackle climate change and promote sustainability," explained the Mayor of Pilar de la Horadada, José María Pérez.
As such, the local authority has ceded the land for the facility and the electric company has provided the equipment and installation.
Users of the new points will have access to "100 per green energy, from renewable generation sources, with a certificate of guarantee of origin (GdOs)", and motorists can download an app (details can be found at the facility) which will allow them to check availability in real time, and book and pay from a mobile phone.
