Cepsa to install ultra-fast charger at more than 60 service stations in Andalusia by 2023
Cepsa, the leading company in Andalusia in terms of turnover and exports, will install ultra-fast chargers in more than 60 Andalusian service stations by 2023, as part of its commitment to sustainable mobility.
The company is installing chargers of at least 150kW at its network of stations as part its plans to develop the largest roadside ultra-fast charging network in Spain and Portugal. These chargers recharge electric vehicle batteries to 80% in just 10 minutes, the same amount of time it takes to refuel a combustion vehicle.
Cepsa service stations, with over 250 outlets in Andalusia, will be transformed into digitized spaces offering a wide variety of ultra-convenience and catering services, including fresh food, cosmetics and beauty, e-commerce, parcel collection points, and sustainable vehicle washing services, as well as multi-energy solutions.
In addition, the company will use advanced analytical tools to transform the customer experience and strengthen its loyalty program, a leader in the Community. Likewise, through artificial intelligence-based decision making, the company will be able to offer comprehensive services in real time.
Also, Cepsa will promote the demand for green hydrogen in road transport, for which it has set a 2030 target for establishing a refueling station every 300 kilometers in the main corridors connecting the Iberian Peninsula with the rest of Europe.
Cepsa presented these projects at MOW FORUM Andalusia, an international forum on the future of mobility and the automotive sector organized by the Regional Government of Andalusia with the collaboration of the Royal Automobile Club of Spain-RACE, which is currently hosting 300 experts from the sector in Seville. Juan Manuel Moreno Bonilla, President of the Regional Government of Andalusia, and Isabel Pardo, Secretary of State for Transport, Mobility and the Urban Agenda, presided over the opening of the event.
Speaking at the forum, Pierre-Yves Sachet, Cepsa’s Director of Mobility & New Commerce, said: “Andalusia is at the heart of our 2030 strategy, with the decarbonization of road transport and end-customer mobility playing a key role. To this end, we are transforming our service stations into multi-mobility spaces, where we will install high power chargers and green hydrogen refueling stations, as well as offering a wide variety of ultra-convenience and catering services.”
