The deadline to apply for the third edition of the administration’s initiative to provide recharging equipment with a capacity of 50 kW in direct current began on 2 February.

The points will be supplied and authorised for use by entities that own land with free access and with suitable characteristics to provide the charging service.

In this way, they will seek to test charging models in suitable locations to effectively meet current and future user demand.

The deadline for interested parties to submit applications is 15 March.

In addition, they announced that they intend to update the opening hours requirement.

In this way, those owners of establishments that are open during normal business hours, not necessarily 24 hours a day or 7 days a week, will be eligible for the assignment.
