The company Acciona, with financial support from the European Commission, will build the largest public charging hub inside Madrid's M-30 urban ring road. The facility in the Castellana Norte district will feature 20 ultra-fast charging points, enabling a car to be charged in about 15 minutes. The investment aims to support the electrification of transport in the Spanish capital.
Largest public charging hub in M-30
The new charging station in Madrid will be the largest public facility of its kind within the city's inner M-30 ring road.
20 ultra-fast charging points
Acciona's investment will involve the construction of 20 high-power charging points, intended for both passenger cars and heavy-duty vehicles.
Charging time limited to 15 minutes
Ultra-fast charging technology is expected to allow an electric vehicle to be charged in less than a quarter of an hour.
Completion date: 2027
The charging hub is scheduled to be operational in 2027, becoming a key piece of infrastructure for electromobility in Madrid.
Financial support from the European Commission
The project will receive financial support from EU funds as part of a program promoting green mobility.
Madrid is preparing to launch the largest public charging hub inside its inner ring road, designated as M-30. The investment, carried out by the Spanish company Acciona, will be built in the modern Castellana Norte district, on the northern stretch of the prestigious Paseo de la Castellana. The facility will have twenty ultra-fast charging points, allowing users to charge their electric vehicle batteries in approximately fifteen minutes. Electromobility is a key element of the EU's strategy for decarbonizing transport. In 2019, the European Commission announced the European Green Deal, aiming to achieve climate neutrality by 2050. The development of charging infrastructure is a fundamental condition for the widespread adoption of zero-emission vehicles. The construction of the charging hub has already received formal approval from the city authorities, paving the way for work to begin. The project will also receive financial support from European Commission funds, underscoring its importance for implementing sustainable development policy and combating climate change. The investment is a flagship project and responds to the growing number of electric vehicles in the city and the need to provide them with adequate infrastructure. According to the schedule, the charging station is to be operational in 2027. It will be the first facility of this scale located in such a central point of the city, which is intended to encourage residents to switch to electric vehicles and reduce so-called range anxiety. „This charging hub will become a benchmark in Madrid and a model for similar projects across Europe.” — Acciona press source In addition to its primary function, the facility is also set to offer additional amenities for drivers waiting for their cars to charge. The implementation of this investment is part of a broader plan to develop the charging network in Spain, which envisages a significant increase in the number of public charging points over the next decade.
