Project Description
The El Prat de Llobregat City Council continues to expand its municipal EV charging network with a second phase that adds 3 new charging points in Plaça Espanya, bolstering an already established infrastructure intended for both local residents and municipal services.
Currently, the network features 7 semi-fast 22 kW chargers and 2 fast 50 kW chargers, in addition to the new charging points installed in this expansion. In total, the municipality offers 24 electrified spaces, 12 of which are for public use.
Throughout 2024, the network recorded 9,526 charging sessions, 505 unique users, and 104,562 kWh of supplied energy, avoiding approximately 87,867 kg of CO₂ emissions.
The infrastructure also supports the municipal service El Prat Carsharing, which operates a fleet of 12 electric vehicles, including 2 vans for light cargo transport.
Identifying needs, regulations, and grants
The growth in electric vehicle adoption within the municipality created the need to expand and reinforce the existing charging infrastructure, aiming to offer an improved service to public users, the municipal carsharing service, and the council’s internal fleet.
The initial project was developed within the framework of the Climate Emergency Declaration of the Ajuntament del Prat de Llobregat, aligning with emissions reduction targets derived from transport.

MOVES III Program
The initial deployment project for the electric charging network in El Prat de Llobregat has been subsidized through the MOVES III program, with support from the European Next Generation funds.
This program has been a key element in driving electric mobility in the municipality, facilitating the creation of an infrastructure that directly contributes to reducing CO₂ emissions and achieving the climate targets set by the City Council.
Experience, approachability, and commitment to a comprehensive electric mobility project
The collaboration with Etecnic, a company specializing in EV charging solutions, has been fundamental to the success of the project. As an operator and infrastructure provider, Etecnic has contributed its expertise and technology to ensure a reliable and efficient service.
The management of the charging points is carried out through the EVcharge platform, which allows real-time monitoring and control of the network status, improving the user experience and ensuring optimal infrastructure performance.
Thanks to this collaboration, El Prat de Llobregat City Council reinforces its commitment to a comprehensive, sustainable, and constantly evolving electric mobility model, positioning itself as a benchmark for other municipalities.
