Circontrol brings its first 400kW chargers to Madrid

EV charging manufacturer Circontrol has launched its first 400 kW chargers at the Canalejas 360 Charging Hub in Spain.

The chargers have been installed in the centre of Madrid and which will provide a total of 2.5 megawatts of power for electric vehicles. The project, located in a car park in the heart of the capital, will be one of the largest indoor charging hubs in Europe and will meet the needs for fast charging in the centre of a big city.

The location of this charging hub will facilitate the use of electric vehicles in the centre of the Spanish capital thanks to the 12 high-powered fast chargers that have been installed. Specifically, the charging hub located on floor -1 will consist of 4 high-power 400 kW chargers, 4 200 kW chargers and 4 50 kW chargers.

The installation of the Canalejas 360 charging hub responds to high-power needs, as the high density of vehicles in the centre of the capital means that vehicle rotation must be fast. Joan Hinojo, CEO of Circontrol, commented: “With the installation of the four Raption 400 in Canalejas, the company has demonstrated again its ability to keep pace with the market that increasingly demands more powerful and faster chargers.

“At Circontrol we are committed to HPC charging but we do not forget that electric vehicle charge must combine fast charging with slow charging in other environments such as domestic, business or leisure environments, among others and that is why we develop charging solutions for all of them.”
