EV Global Platform Project

Iberdrola reaffirms its commitment to electric mobility, in line with the rapid transition driven by the EU towards the electrification of transport. In the new mobility ecosystem, collaboration between companies from different sectors is essential and Iberdrola continues to act as a facilitator of electric mobility.

Iberdrola wants to lead the transition to electric mobility, and to this end the Company will undertake the massive deployment of fast (50 kW), super-fast (150 kW) and ultra-fast (350 kW) charging points on the main corridors and high-capacity roads in Spain. To provide a charging service with the highest standards of user support, it is necessary to have a complete, fast, secure and interoperable computer platform that guarantees this universal and secure service.

The goal of “EV Global Platform” project

The main objective of this project is to develop a global platform for managing electric vehicle charging points, capable of providing global coverage to all its customers, through an open ecosystem of charging points that facilitate interaction with third-party infrastructures. In this sense, the platform developed will provide service at national and European level (United Kingdom, Italy, Portugal, France, Germany and Ireland). The public charging points will be installed both in open-use locations (EV charging stations) and in private facilities for public use, such as shopping centres or companies.

Iberdrola's growth forecasts for charging points and the expected evolution of electric vehicles driving on Spanish and European roads make it necessary to design a sufficiently robust and scalable architecture that supports the deployment plan and, in turn, allows interoperability with third parties when providing information on these charging points.

Planned investment: €3,081,397
Amount of the grant allocated: €1,232,559

Iberdrola's charging infrastructures

Iberdrola, through its public charging infrastructure, allows charging at more than 6,000 electric chargers in the country, always committed to fast and ultra-fast charging. It also has an extensive pipeline in different stages of development that will come into operation in the coming months. Iberdrola has deployed an investment plan of €150 million to install 100,000 charging points by 2025. This plan will provide 14% of the installed capacity required for public charging of light electric vehicles in 2030, enabling a reduction in emissions (including life cycle) of 603 thousand tonnes/CO2e/year.

All these points are powered by 100% green energy, from renewable sources with Guarantee of Origin (GoO) certification. In total, Iberdrola's public and private network reaches 45,000 points and thus reinforces its leading position as the most extensive public charging network in Spain.
