The station offers 20 ultra-fast charging points with power outputs of up to 400 kW. Zunder currently operates over 200 charging points in Castilla y León, with an additional 110 under construction in the region.
Zunder, the leading ultra-fast charging operator for electric vehicles in Europe, has inaugurated today the largest ultra-fast charging station on the A-6 highway. Located in El Raso, in the town of Villalpando (Zamora), this new facility features 20 charging points of up to 400 kW, allowing users to recharge their vehicles in just a few minutes, ensuring a fast and efficient charging experience.
This station will become a key hub for electric mobility on one of the country’s main long-distance routes, facilitating connections between Galicia, Madrid, and northern Portugal. With this opening, Zunder strengthens its commitment to expanding a high-power and accessible charging infrastructure, which is essential for the development of sustainable mobility in Spain.
The Zunder station in El Raso, located 231 km from Madrid, falls within the average range of current electric vehicles, making it an ideal stop for a recommended break while the vehicle quickly recharges thanks to its ultra-fast power. In just 20 minutes (depending on the vehicle), drivers can recharge enough to continue their journey. Additionally, this section of the A-6 is vital for freight and passenger transport, with an Average Daily Traffic (ADT) exceeding 45,000 vehicles in some sections, highlighting the need for high-capacity charging infrastructure.
With advanced technologies such as Plug&Charge and multiple payment options that enable a seamless and automated charging experience for users—such as the Zunder App or RFiD systems like eZCard and eZTag—this station is positioned as a benchmark for ultra-fast charging in Spain, driving the transition towards more sustainable mobility.
Zunder, recently named the best charging operator in Spain in 2024 by users and recognized as the leader in ultra-fast charging points in Spain according to independent media reports, continues to consolidate its position as a reference in electric mobility with the launch of this modern charging infrastructure.
Zunder’s presence in Castilla y León is key to the electrification of the region, with over 200 charging points distributed across the provinces of Valladolid, Ávila, Salamanca, Zamora, Burgos, Palencia, and Segovia. The company has deployed a leading charging infrastructure throughout the region, notably achieving full electrification in the city of Burgos, with an urban charging network of nearly 80 charging points.
Currently, 15 projects are under development—including four in Zamora (Quintanilla de Urz, Castrillo de Guareña, Puebla de Sanabria, and Toro)—adding more than 110 new charging points to the existing network in Castilla y León, with an investment exceeding €20 million.
In 2024, Castilla y León saw significant growth in electric mobility adoption, with 1,201 fully electric vehicles registered (4.24% of the total) and 1,486 plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEV) (5.24% of the total). These figures reflect the growing demand for charging infrastructure in the region, reinforcing the need for stations like the one in El Raso to facilitate the energy transition.
Daniel Pérez, CEO and co-founder of Zunder, stated:
“The opening of this station in Villalpando marks a milestone in ultra-fast charging infrastructure in Spain and in how easily we can now travel with electric vehicles. We are offering users chargers with maximum power and a large number of charging bays to travel freely. Zunder’s goal is to achieve full coverage of the territory by building charging stations along major highways, providing the best user experience with modern, sustainable, and accessible stations.”
