Faced with the challenge of encouraging the sale of electric vehicles in the Spanish market, Nissan Iberia has announced today its plan to promote and accelerate the deployment of a network of fast charging for electric vehicles in Spain, with the aim of increasing the radius of action of this type of vehicle and provide peace of mind to consumers who see the lack of infrastructure as a brake for purchase.

Nissan donation of 43 teams will fast charge to several operators to be installed in Madrid, Catalonia, Basque Country, Andalucia and Castilla y León, communities where the brand has signed agreements with local governments and has concessions for the sale of prepared electric cars like the Nissan LEAF. These new points were installed mainly at gas stations will be located in strategic locations, especially in urban areas and output of large cities, to create the embryo of a future extensive capillary network and quickly load every 40 kilometers and offer customers more freedom and flexibility in their movements.

Nissan hopes that its momentum to the development of fast charging network in Spain, contributing decisively to increase sales of Nissan LEAF, the first electric vehicle in series production in the world and the brand launched in Spain last year. “Although the autonomy of 175 km of LEAF Nissan is sufficient for most daily trips usually make 80% of the population, the extent of the fast charge networks will allow drivers to cover longer distances in a single day,” said Manuel de la Guardia, Managing Director of Nissan Iberia. “If we have a significant number of fast chargers in Spain, owners of electric vehicles can be recharged in no time your car no matter the destination. This will be essential to mass adoption of electric cars.”

“We are in negotiations with several companies heavily involved in the development of electric car infrastructure and with existing partners have signed agreements with Nissan zero-emission mobility, we expect to close shortly agreements that allow the installation the first quarter the year, with benefits and burdens discounts for customers free of LEAF for at least a year, “says Manuel de la Guardia.

On the fast-loading program for Nissan in Europe

Nissan announced in November 2011 that is accelerating its plans for the European network of electric vehicle fast charge, and start delivering 400 new fast-charge stations at no cost, to different operators charge for electric vehicles, of which 43 delivered in Spain.

The radical change which involves the ability to recharge the batteries quickly, will help attract more customers to electric vehicles as the Nissan LEAF. The advanced lithium-ion batteries Nissan LEAF can be recharged up to 80% capacity in just 30 minutes with a quick charger.

Fast Charge Technology

The new fast chargers are designed according to the standard CHAdeMO and can generate up to 50 kW of direct current (DC) lines. The standard CHAdeMO-o Load to Move, was originally set and agreed by a coalition of Japanese companies including Nissan, Toyota, Mitsubishi and Fuji Heavy Industries. Thus, Nissan Fast chargers can be used not only for Nissan LEAF drivers but also drivers of electric vehicles from Mitsubishi, Citroen and Peugeot. Rapid charging stations are also prepared to provide AC power to electric vehicles Nissan’s partner in the Alliance, Renault. The stations are designed to meet the standards of fast charge to 43 kW AC. The Renault-Nissan Alliance is promoting the implementation of infrastructure based on a strategy that combines fast charge current and alternating current.
