Project description
New charging infrastructure for shared vehicles powered by collective solar energy installations project aims to expand electric carsharing services in Mallorca, Spain. By combining renewable energy generation with shared mobility solutions, the initiative seeks to reduce transport-related emissions, optimise the use of urban space and improve accessibility to sustainable transport options.
- Challenges addressed
It addresses key local challenges such as high car ownership rates, congestion and environmental pressures, while providing a practical and inclusive solution to mobility needs. The project also has strong replication potential across other cities and regions facing similar transport and sustainability challenges.
- Technology
The initiative includes solar PV, flexibility and EV mobility.
- Support received through CEAH
With CEAH support, the project is advancing its technical design, regulatory compliance and financing strategy to enable large-scale deployment.
