The great virtue of Chargemap is focused on the possibility of marking a travel route and stops automatically appear that the driver must make depending on his electric vehicle. It provides information coverage throughout Europe thanks to its database with 300,000 charging points.

With Acciona EV Recharge, formerly Charge and Parking, you can reserve parking spaces with charging points. It allows you to make payments from the application itself and its download is free. The driver is also provided with a circulation route with the closest charging points based on their position.
