Charging infrastructure operator Zunder has inaugurated Spain’s largest high-power charging (HPC) site at the Parque Principado shopping center in Oviedo, located in the country’s northern region. The facility features 36 ultra-fast charging connections, including 12 stations with outputs of up to 400 kW and 24 stations offering up to 160 kW.
Strategically situated near the A-66 and A-64 highways, the charging hub enhances connectivity for electric vehicle (EV) drivers traveling through Spain’s major routes. The location at Parque Principado provides added convenience, as drivers can access the shopping center’s amenities, including retail outlets, restaurants, entertainment areas, and cinemas, while charging their vehicles. Zunder highlights this dual benefit of convenience and increased customer traffic for the shopping center.
The charging park is equipped with Plug & Charge technology, enabling seamless, automated charging when a car is connected. Additionally, all stations include credit card terminals for ad hoc payments, ensuring accessibility for all EV drivers. This setup underscores Zunder’s commitment to delivering user-friendly charging experiences as it strengthens its presence in the Spanish market.
With significant funding from French investor Mirova and a €225 million loan package from Banco Santander, Zunder is positioned for aggressive expansion. The company plans to install 3,000 charging points across France, Italy, and Portugal in the coming years, reinforcing its ambition to lead the European EV charging infrastructure market.
