Both parties will team up to diagnose and define the main challenges of the new electric vehicle charging point network announced by the Government of Catalonia
The agreement calls for a study to be drawn up to ensure that the network guarantees an easy, quick and comfortable user experience
With more than 1,000 charging points scattered all over the city, Endolla Barcelona, promoted by the Barcelona City Council via BSM, is the most extensive electromobility network in southern Europe
L’Energètica, Catalonia's public energy company, and Endolla Barcelona, BSM's electromobility network, have reached a partnership agreement to promote a single pioneering, interoperable public electric vehicle charging network for Catalonia. Both parties will team up to define the challenges, scope and operations of this new user-centred network, which aims to provide a quick, comfortable and easy user experience.
Following the Endolla Barcelona model, the new network aims to be equitable, capillary throughout the entire territory and sustainable in terms of energy generation and consumption, while guaranteeing harmonious coexistence with the private sector via an interoperable network that provides users with access to information and the ability to manage their vehicle charging.
A constantly evolving sector
To promote this pioneering interoperable electric charging network in Catalonia, a diagnosis of the current state of electromobility in Catalonia is needed in order to analyse the future demand forecasts. Defining and planning the network's roll-out, operations and governance model also requires an analysis of trends in mobility, technology, innovation, planning and electromobility operations.
With this goal in mind, both parties will team up to draft a prior study that will also analyse factors such as the role of public-private cooperation in innovative and transformative projects like this one, as well as issues related to user experience in the future network.
A benchmark model that is leading the transition to electric vehicles
This agreement showcases Endolla Barcelona’s leadership and contribution to fostering sustainable mobility. With 1,027 charging points scattered throughout the entire city, Endolla Barcelona is the most extensive public charging point network in southern Europe.
Barcelona's public electromobility network closed 2024 with a 27% increase in use compared to the previous year, with an average of 15,000 charges per month and more than 41,000 registered users.
