The infrastructure is developed by BeePlanet using second-life batteries from 14 electric vehicles.It will allow the charging of up to four electric cars simultaneously. This project will reduce CO2 emissions by 70% compared to a new battery.
Iberdrola continues to accelerate its sustainable mobility plan, which provides the installation of 150,000 electric chargers in homes, companies and on public roads.

This morning, thanks to Iberdrola, we installed the first commercial storage system using second-life batteries to power electric vehicle charging points. The Power ESS 20″ Container system has been put into operation at kilometer 175 of the A3 Madrid-Valencia (Area 175 of the Avanza group) and will allow the charging of up to four vehicles simultaneously.

The project not only contributes to boosting sustainable mobility, making it accessible with energy storage systems, but also aligns with the circular economy and helps the development of the battery industrial sector in Spain.

The Power ESS 20″ Container has a power of 100 kW and a capacity of 200kWh to serve an infrastructure that allows uninterrupted recharging for 2 hours at maximum power, making it an optimal solution for those locations where there is no or insufficient grid power and it is required to increase the existing one. In case that the batteries run out, the service will be provided at the power available in the grid.Iberdrola continues to accelerate its sustainable mobility plan, which provides for the installation of 150,000 electric chargers in homes, businesses and on public roads.

This sustainable storage system demonstrates a change in the battery manufacturing model. An energy model based on the reuse of raw materials: from the maritime container where it is installed to the contents, the second-life batteries from 14 electric vehicles. This solution extends their useful life, reduces the impact of the extraction of raw materials and reduces CO2 emissions by 70% compared to a new battery.
BeePlanet Factory, a leading manufacturer of second-life lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles, and Iberdrola are studying their collaboration in other locations.

Raquel Blanco, Iberdrola’s global director of Smart Mobility, explained that this initiative shows the responsiveness of innovation to offer solutions in the field of sustainable mobility. At Iberdrola we have been working for years developing the necessary charging infrastructure to make electric mobility a reality, accompanying the development of electric vehicles and technology. This project, in addition to incorporating innovative solutions, allows us to advance in circular economy concepts, such as the use of second life batteries and sustainable development with more efficient and environmentally friendly solutions.

Jon Asín, CEO of Beeplanet, shared that the energy storage solutions based on second-life batteries marketed by BeePlanet Factory are the ideal complement for fast charging sites for electric vehicles. They enable the installation of fast charging infrastructure in locations with network limitations and also allow to reduce the power peaks associated with the charging process. In this way, they facilitate the deployment of a fast charging network on public roads, as well as a better level of service to end users.

Electric mobility and green recovery
Iberdrola is continuing its commitment to the electrification of transport as part of its strategy for the transition to a decarbonized economy, as a key lever for reducing emissions and pollution, as well as for the green recovery of the economy and employment.
The company is deploying a sustainable mobility plan, with an investment of 150 million euros, with which it will intensify the deployment of charging points for electric vehicles in the coming years. The initiative envisages the installation of close to 150,000 charging points in homes, companies, urban roads, cities and main highways in the coming years. The commitment to the deployment of high-efficiency stations will take the form of ultra-fast (350 kW), super-fast (150 kW) and fast (50 kW) stations.
Iberdrola is aware of the need to promote electromobility in Spain through coordinated and effective action with the main agents involved. In this regard, the company has already completed more than 50 infrastructure deployment agreements with administrations, institutions, companies, service stations, dealers and electric vehicle manufacturers.
The company was the first Spanish company to sign up to The Climate Group’s EV100 initiative, with the aim of accelerating the transition to electric vehicles, committing to electrifying its entire fleet of vehicles and facilitating charging for staff in its businesses in Spain and the United Kingdom by 2030.
