The new charging park not only offers fast charging with up to 180 kW, which enables an 80% battery charge in just 15 minutes, but also additional convenience thanks to an integrated supermarket and cafeteria. The location is strategically chosen: Directly on the A-66 (Autov\u00eda de la Plata), the site is optimally connected to the transport network and easily accessible from the city center as well as from the Teatinos and Ventanielles districts.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
