Since the second half of 2025 and throughout the first half of 2026, Solutions30 Iberia has deployed battery swap stations for light electric vehicles on behalf of Silence (ACCIONA’s electric vehicle brand) across several cities in Spain and Portugal. In Spain, locations such as Galicia and Granada are already part of this growing infrastructure, while in Portugal the network is now present in Lisbon. This deployment strengthens a unique and differentiated technological solution that facilitates the adoption of urban electric mobility.

A Technology with Real Benefits for Urban Users
Battery swap stations offer a different
approach from conventional charging. Instead of waiting for a battery to
recharge, users simply replace a depleted battery with a fully charged one in
about 30 seconds, providing an experience that is closer to refueling than
charging. This removes one of the main barriers to the adoption of light
electric vehicles—range anxiety and downtime—making the solution particularly
attractive for riders of electric motorcycles and mopeds in urban environments
who need a fast and uninterrupted mobility experience.
For delivery fleets, the impact is equally
significant, as it reduces vehicle downtime and improves operational
efficiency, contributing to a more sustainable and accessible model of urban
mobility.
From an infrastructure perspective, these
stations are highly space-efficient. Depending on the number of batteries they
house, each installation occupies roughly the equivalent of a single parking
space, allowing seamless integration into public parking areas and urban
environments without the need for major adaptation works.

What Solutions30 Does
Solutions30 Iberia manages the full scope of
each installation, including technical design, administrative procedures with
local authorities, coordination with site owners, electrical works, and
commissioning. The standardized nature of the solution enables efficient
replication across different locations while maintaining high technical quality
and full regulatory compliance in every deployment.
The result is a collaboration that has already
led to installations in multiple cities across Spain and Portugal and, given
the current project pipeline, shows strong potential for continued expansion in
the years ahead.
