Since January, the service has added 15,000 monthly charges and has nearly doubled the number of active users compared to a year ago
Recently, Endolla Barcelona has opened up to Telpark and Repsol customers, who can now locate and use the network’s more than 1,000 charging stations without needing to register for the service
Endolla Barcelona is continuing to grow. Between January and September, the city’s public electromobility network recorded an average of 15,000 uses per month. This amounts to a total of approximately 135,000 charges, a 30% increase compared to the same period last year.
The number of active users also continues to grow and has nearly doubled compared to the previous year, reaching 38,000 as of 30 September.
Furthermore, charging at the Aparcaments BSM network of car parks increased 40% in nine months, now accounting for nearly half of the network’s total usage. This shift reflects the success of Endolla Barcelona’s commitment to promoting planned charging during off-peak hours, with minimal impact on public spaces.
During this period, the districts with the most charging activity were Eixample, Sarrià – Sant Gervasi, and Sant Martí, which account for one in every two uses.
Meanwhile the energy supplied has increased by 37%, going from 1.2 kWh to 1.6 kWh. From an environmental perspective, the charging activity between January and September at Endolla Barcelona stations has prevented the emission of 445 tonnes of CO2.
Endolla Barcelona is the leading public electromobility network in Spain and southern Europe
Endolla Barcelona, managed by Barcelona de Serveis Municipals (BSM), is the largest public network of electric vehicle charging stations in Spain and southern Europe. The service currently has 1,027 charging stations installed throughout the city and is preparing to expand to 3,000 points as demand increases.
The city’s electromobility network has been working for several months specifically on adding 2,000 new charging stations at BSM car parks. This continues Endolla Barcelona’s far-reaching and equitable expansion strategy, aimed at supporting the transition to electric vehicles by anticipating demand and ensuring uniform coverage across all neighbourhoods.
A network open to customers from other operators
One of the key principles of Endolla Barcelona’s expansion strategy is its focus on convenience, accessibility, and proximity. In this regard, the network has agreements with other electromobility operators to allow their customers to locate and use Endolla Barcelona charging stations through their regular mobile apps, without needing to register specifically for the service.
The latest companies to partner with Endolla Barcelona are Telpark and Repsol –through the Waylet app– joining Bosch, Electromaps, Etecnic, Iberdrola, Shell Recharge Solutions, Wenea, and Zunder. Customers of all these companies can locate, activate, and pay for charging at any Endolla Barcelona stations conveniently through their regular mobile app.
This openness reflects Endolla Barcelona’s user-centred approach as a public service that offers people the best possible vehicle charging experience.
Sustainability and innovation, Endolla Barcelona’s key lines of action
Endolla Barcelona is also working to support the electromobility sector in addressing some of its challenges, such as reducing charging times and developing energy-efficient, sustainable infrastructure.
To this end, Barcelona’s electromobility network is participating in various innovation projects through public-private partnerships. These projects include a pilot test for scheduled electric vehicle charging in BSM car parks, taking advantage of off-peak energy hours, as well as a project testing the prototype of a charging station designed to allow for cost-effective mass production and easy maintenance.
Endolla Barcelona has also facilitated the addition of electric motorcycle battery swap stations to the Aparcaments BSM car park network, promoting a more sustainable and planned-out approach to urban mobility.
