The new Endolla Barcelona service enables users to charge their electric vehicles easily using their mobile phones by connecting to the charging point by means of a QR code without having to use the card
Users can operate the more than 500 charging points located on the public highway and in B:SM car parks, checking their availability in real time
This is added to other services already included in smou such as being able to pay for blue and green AREA parking and automatic entry to B:SM car parks, to name just a few
Smou, Barcelona's personal mobility app which brings various mobility services together in one place, continues to expand. Smou now covers the Endolla Barcelona electric charging network, making their operation easier for electric vehicle users by allowing them to charge their vehicle easily and directly using their mobile phones. All you need to do to start using the service is sign up with smou.
Smou enables users to check the location and availability of the network’s more than 500 charging points, both the ones in B:SM car parks and the ones on the street, in real time. Each charging point has a QR code, which must be read with the reader incorporated into smou, without the need for a card. Charging will then begin once the vehicle has been plugged in. You can also use the app to book an on-street charging point for 20 minutes, making it even easier for users to charge their vehicles.
Smou has already passed the 140,000-user threshold and has managed over 2.5 million operations. Smou is a dynamic, constantly expanding application that will continue to evolve and add new services and features. This free app is available for both iOS and Android devices.
One app, a multitude of services
Endolla Barcelona is the new addition to the other services already available on the app. Smou enables you to pay for regulated parking in Barcelona, L’Hospitalet de Llobregat, Santa Coloma de Gramenet, Sant Joan Despí, Sant Just Desvern and Badalona without having to go to a parking meter, which saves you time and makes the process easier. What’s more, you only pay for the exact parking time. This provides added value for users, who can now move around these places and park their cars using a single app.
It also enables all users who have activated the agilPark service to gain automatic entry to B:SM car parks. Using a number plate reader, the car park barrier will open automatically and payment is made on your mobile phone when you leave.
Users can also find information on the B:SM car park network, Bicing and the Drivy and Ubeeqo car-sharing services, as well as the entire network of cycling lanes. All this information is completely customisable by means of a set of filters that users can enable or disable based on their needs.
This information is shown on the map on smou’s main screen by means of a system of superimposed layers, thus providing a clear, easy-to-understand display of nearby services at all times.
Endolla Barcelona, the largest electric charging network in Spain
The Endolla Barcelona network, the largest in the country, currently includes 503 electric charging points serving all the city’s districts and located on both public highways and in the city’s municipal car parks. Street charging points enable users to make a quick stop to charge their vehicle, while car park points make it possible to fully charge vehicles while parked.
The points in the network are of different types depending on the charging power that can be provided to vehicles by the equipment. Included in the network are on-street fast-charge points that give vehicles an additional charge of up to 120 km in 30 minutes, as well as normal charging points located in car parks, which can provide enough charge in eight hours to do around 150 - 300 km. Of these, 285 are specially designed for motorcycles, providing enough charge for 100 km in two hours.
The Barcelona Endolla public network is committed to ongoing growth and improvement to deliver this service to city residents, facilitating its use and providing all the information required to get the most out of the service quickly and easily.
Electric vehicles benefit from a 75% reduction in tax on mechanical traction vehicles, and vehicles classified as “Zero Emissions” are allowed to park in blue or green AREA zones at a €0 rate in accordance with the time and maximum stay restrictions.
