MOBILITY BEYOND CLEAN ENERGY… transportation, electric cars are vectors of storage, network inte-gration and distributed generation since electric charging infras-tructure can offer a much greater level of capillary distribution than that of gas stations. Vehicles and charging stations are sour-ces of key data for mobility management in smart cities.” The arrival of a company focused on generation, infrastruc-ture, distribution, comprehensive management, efficiency, and clean transportation in this sector is a natural way to convert all that knowledge into service value: “We are the only electric com-pany without a past in fossil fuels. On top of providing charging infrastructure, we offer sharing services and, jointly with the company called Silence, we build electrical vehicles, motorcycles, and microcars,” explains Moliner. SINGLE POINT OF CONTACT This strategy helps break the vicious cycle limiting Spanish elec-trification: there are not enough electric vehicles because there are not enough charging stations, and investments are not made in charging stations because there are not enough electric vehi-cles. In its service model, the company is a single point of contact for customers, institutions, companies, property owners’ associa-tions and electric charging stations, and is involved in every step from the installation of complete infrastructure to its manage-ment, operation, and maintenance. It also manages already-exis-ting networks and decarbonizes public and corporate fleets. This comprehensive dialogue is in addition to other incenti-ves, including not having to make any initial investment in order to drive the electric conversion in municipalities and companies. Beyond regulatory compliance, the recognition of organizations committed to sustainability has improved, a primary factor in enhancing competition and public image according to numerous reports. A recent SAP report showed that 80% of Spaniards con-sider the environmental impact of the services and maintenance when purchasing a car. Accordingly, the facilities may soon recei-ve 100% renewable electricity from a certified source through the ACCIONA Energía platform using blockchain technology. In addition to the electrification of institutions, companies and buildings in cities, the objective is to deploy a dense network of fast and ultra-fast chargers on the main highways to serve a much larger number of vehicles to overcome the barriers to autonomy. “We’re also contributing to the democratization of electric trans-portation,” the director added, “so that those who do not have a garage space in the big cities can charge their vehicle slowly nearby.” Spain is not an isolated case, but it is a good testing ground and place for the model to mature. As is the case with any other inno-vation from the company, the experience gained in its country of origin will be replicated in other markets where public and private initiatives are expanding decarbonization goals. It may be replica-ted in two countries this year. • Many uses: companies, cities, property management, hotels, shopping malls, parking lots, residential sector, fleet management, gas stations, etc. • Visibility of charging stations. • System to make bookings far in advance. • Customization, even with the app of the customer’s brand. • Billing through the platform. • System not attended by the owner of the charging station. • Compatible with all charging brands.
