Local observation
Nearby public chargers are limited and not always reliable. That is the starting point for exploring a local solution.
Community pilot · In development
A proposal for one smart charging streetlight in Ares del Bosque, combining public lighting and local EV charging in existing public space.
The initiative
In small villages, charging demand is limited but real, while a separate charging plaza can be costly and spatially intrusive. Luz y carga explores whether one integrated charging streetlight is the right first step.
The project is deliberately designed as one small pilot. Technical feasibility, municipal need and management come first; possible scaling follows only after evaluation.
Nearby public chargers are limited and not always reliable. That is the starting point for exploring a local solution.
A Type 2 charging point is integrated into a streetlight solution so lighting and charging share one public location.
OCPP, RFID and load balancing provide the basis for access, management and grid capacity. CityCharge and Nedal solutions are being explored; no supplier is final.
The pilot is being prepared for discussion with Benasau municipality. Location, ownership, installation, operation and evaluation must be agreed together.
“Light for the village. Energy for the road.”
Luz y carga is not yet a realised or approved municipal project. This phase creates a concrete proposal with limited scale and clear learning goals.
