Fast Charging + Sustainability: Galp and BeePlanet Join Forces for an Electric Future

The Challenge

Galp, the Portuguese energy company, has trusted our technology to power one of its ultrafast electric vehicle (EV) charging stations in Alcalá de Henares (Madrid).

As part of the "Second Life Batteries" project, a system using repurposed electric vehicle batteries has been installed to enhance charging capacity, reduce reliance on the power grid, and extend the useful life of these critical components.

The Solution

An energy system designed for ultra-fast charging hubs

At the heart of the project is our BCube®system, a containerized solution with 368 kWh of capacity, connected to two 180 kW chargers. Thanks to this configuration, it is possible to charge up to nine vehicles consecutively, using minimal power from the grid.

This type of installation is key for charging stations in complex locations to offer ultra-fast services without the need for costly grid upgrades

The BCube® helps to:

📌Minimize energy demand peaks

📌Increase the charging station's operational autonomy

📌Reduce the environmental impact of the full battery lifecycle
