Endolla Barcelona plans to have 1,000 charging points up and running by the end of the year
Endolla Barcelona plans to have 1,000 charging points operational by the end of 2023. 283 new points will be incorporated all around the city over the year, joining the 717 now in service.
The new charging points will be located in B:BSM car parks, where 7 out of every 10 existing points are already concentrated. This roll-out strategy is promoting a uniform expansion throughout the city's neighbourhoods, making it easier for Barcelona residents without charging points at home or work to take leap to electromobility.
Installing these new charging points in car parks also helps to minimise the occupancy of public space, reducing other parking-associated effects and encouraging planned recharges during off-peak hours. The supply of on-street charging points - designed for unplanned, quick recharges - will remain the same.
