"Eranovum's Vallespin states that the future of electric vehicle charging may be found in direct current (DC) chargers exceeding 30 kW, yet current administrations seem excessively dependent on alternating current (AC) charging solutions."
Eranovum, a leading player in the electromobility market, is making strides in the realm of electric vehicle (EV) charging solutions across Spain. The company, under the leadership of CEO David Vallespin, is actively participating in tenders for both hubs and charging points, but each case is evaluated based on its unique specifics.
Vallespin advocates for tender models that come with a 'clear guide' defining priorities. This approach is crucial for Eranovum, as the demand for high power and addressing the 'anxiety' of eMobility users is a key factor in their strategy. Vallespin believes that the future lies in Direct Current (DC) charging above 30 kW.
Eranovum's success is evident in their wins in various locations, including Logroño, Rialp, Zamora, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, among others. In the Seville project alone, they have already implemented 36 chargers and are awaiting approval for an additional 60. The company recently won a public competition in Seville, where they will install around 200 EV charging points.
However, Eranovum approaches the hub model with caution due to perceived lack of sophistication in the land analysis conducted by municipalities. Instead, the company aspires to prioritize competitions for the deployment of chargers on public roads, rather than 'eMobility hubs'.
Investing in high power technology, according to Eranovum, improves usage ratios and increases the efficiency of charging points. This strategy has led to significant increases in recharging across various regions. For instance, they've seen a 77% increase in recharging in Asturias, 75% in Andalusia, and 54% in Murcia during the summer.
Eranovum targets corporate fleets and public utility providers with its eMobility tender proposals. They suggest that the needs of users and the experience of companies should be considered throughout the tender process. The company has already deployed 800 charging points across Spain, Belgium, and France, with plans to have between 300 and 400 additional charging points operational by the end of 2024.
Before submitting a proposal to a competition, Eranovum conducts a detailed study of the proposal, analyzing advantages, disadvantages, and challenges. They also believe that certain percentages of Alternating Current (AC) charging should be required, rather than DC, based on their experience in the electromobility market. The trend of two massive deployments in Alternating Current is fading, according to Eranovum.
David Vallespin emphasizes the importance of considering the needs of users and the experience of companies throughout the tender process. This approach, combined with Eranovum's commitment to high power technology and user-centric solutions, positions the company well for continued success in the rapidly evolving world of electric vehicle charging.
