Endesa X to "charge" the Applus IDIADA test tracks, the most important vehicle proving ground in Spain

EV charging station on the Applus IDIADA test tracks.
  • The tracks now have a canopy prepared for 10 charging points with a total power of 690 kW. Four of them are already operational, with 2 fast-charging stations (50kW) and 2 ultra-fast charging stations (170kW).
  • Applus IDIADA is a global company serving the automotive industry, with more than 30 years of experience in product development, providing vehicle design, engineering, testing and certification services.
  • This agreement is another step forward for both parties to remove barriers and accelerate the revolution towards electric mobility, facilitating the testing of electrified vehicles for car manufacturers.

Endesa X has built a new EV charging station on the Applus IDIADA test tracks, the most important in Spain, where the automotive sector tests many of the vehicles that are later launched in the market and where electrified vehicles are ever more present.

Specifically, Endesa X has installed a canopy in which up to 10 vehicles can be charged simultaneously with a total power of up to 690 kW.  As of today, 4 of the 10 charging points at the tracks are already operational and working: 2 fast-charging stations (50 kW) with CCS2, CHAdeMO and Type2 connectors (43 kW in alternating current) and another 2 ultra-fast charging stations (175 kW), in this case with CCS2 and CHAdeMO connectors, which can be combined to offer charging processes of up to 350 kW. 

The infrastructure has been pre-prepared to allow the installation of six additional charging points for passenger cars and one more for commercial vehicles (or two smaller ones). 

 

Safe testing

Since this is a test circuit, safety is paramount. The facility has been divided into sectors and a specifically designed fire-fighting system has been installed to guarantee safety in any circumstance and at any time, since charging processes can be especially delicate when it comes to prototypes. 

In this sense, IDIADA will constantly and remotely manage and supervise the charging service, which will also be very useful for the automotive brands to obtain relevant information on each charging process, with real-time information on charger availability and location. Applus IDIADA received a grant from the Moves Plan (ERDF fund) to build this facility.

And this new agreement with IDIADA thus allows Endesa X to continue moving forward with that commitment and also to help private companies to advance their electrification objectives.
