youenerife It will have 16 new points for charging electric vehicles, which will be located in 13 municipalities. This was announced yesterday by the Cabildo de Tenerife, which specified that the project exceeds two million euros. The areas that will benefit from the initiative will be Arico, El Rosario, El Sauzal, Garachico, Granadilla de Abona, Guía de Isora, La Orotava, Puerto de la Cruz, San Juan de la Rambla and Santiago del Teideeach with one device, while Adeje, La Laguna and Santa Cruz will have two.
The president of the Council of Tenerife, Peter Martinexplained that mMore than one million euros will be subsidized by the incentive program linked to electric mobility Moves III of the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan (Next Generation EU Funds). “The granting of Next Generation funds for the implementation of this program of the Cabildo for the implementation of this network will allow the transition towards this model based on renewable and clean energies, as well as the improvement of energy efficiency,” he indicated. .
On the technical side, the charging points will have CHAdeMO and CCS Combo2 connectors of 50 kilowatts in direct current, compatible with most vehicle models on the market and capable of charging a standard battery to 80%. of an electric vehicle in about 50 minutes. In addition, a management system for this network of points will be implemented to make them compatible with others installed in Tenerife and even on other islands, in order to make it easier for users to use the different networks, unifying as much as possible the cards recharge to use.
Martin pointed out that “The distribution throughout the insular geography of this network of charging points will complement other private stations, and even other points such as those of ITER, which have already offered this service for some time”and added that, “in the decarbonization process of the Island to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and reach climate neutrality in 2040, the implementation of this network is a very important step and thanks to these Next Generation funds It can be executed with all the guarantees.”
The Island Councilor for Sustainable Development, Javier Rodríguez, explains that “the locations that have been proposed have been selected trying to optimize criteria such as public land ownership, road accessibility and visibility, pedestrian accessibility, comfort and safety, availability of electricity supply, proximity to services of the tertiary sector and of tourist interest, supply to remote areas and interurban zones, support for ascent routes to the highest altitude areas of the Island, complementation with existing recharging networks, as well as ease of maintenance”, and reiterated that “All these factors have been studied in detail to draw up and plan an effective network that covers the entire island geography.”
