Since the end of summer, Endolla Barcelona has been operated with two ultra-fast chargers at the Port Olímpic, specifically for charging electric boats. These charging stations, located at the Moll de Xaloc wharf, offer power outputs of 150kW and can simultaneously charge up to four boats.
By incorporating these ultra-fast charging stations, Endolla Barcelona contributes to advancing the nautical sector’s decarbonization process and supports the Port Olímpic in progressing toward its goal of becoming a benchmark in environmental management.
The chargers were designed to meet the boats’ technical and operational needs, featuring, for example, eight-metre hoses that make docking easier. Furthermore, to improve the user experience, these charging stations allow for payment by credit card, a groundbreaking feature that is being gradually implemented across the Endolla Barcelona network.
In the coming months, these units will be powered by energy generated by the 3,560 m2 photovoltaic pergola located on the roof of the Culinary Balcony at Port Olímpic’s Moll de Gregal wharf. Thanks to this initiative, Port Olímpic will become the first port facility in Spain to offer ultra-fast charging powered by green energy generated and stored on-site.
Fostering sustainable sailing
One of the goals of the new Port Olímpic is to promote energy transition in both the nautical industry and maritime mobility, moving towards a more environmentally friendly nautical industry in terms of air, marine and noise pollution.
In addition to installing the two charging stations, Port Olímpic is leading other initiatives, such as the Electric Boat Experience, a sustainable boat trade.
The promotion of nautical e-mobility is one of the cornerstones of Port Olímpic’s strategy to become a leader in environmental management. Sustainability has been at the heart of the transformation project, in order to create a cutting-edge, resilient port facility that is adapted to the effects of climate change, generates green energy, and is committed to the renaturalisation of the coastal marine environment and to raising public awareness.
Endolla Barcelona, the largest public e-mobility network in Spain
By installing charging stations at Port Olímpic, the Endolla Barcelona network is expanding its promotion of e-mobility to the nautical sector. The service now offers more than 1,000 charging stations across Barcelona, applying a far-reaching, equitable expansion model that anticipates demand to support residents in the transition to electric vehicles, a crucial factor in improving the city’s air quality.
Today, Endolla Barcelona reaches all neighbourhoods equally, offering residents an extensive network of efficient charging stations that are powered by 100% renewable energy.
