TORREVIEJA NEW OFFICE FOR EDE-ENERGY

Electric cars

EDE-Energy is a pioneering company which specializes in the assembly and maintenance of charging points for electric vehicles. With last week’s announcement that it will open an office in Torrevieja a spokesman said that it now intends to implement this ground breaking technology throughout Alicante and Murcia.

Commercial Manager, Antonio Luis Fernandez, explained that there are currently many municipalities that are starting to equip themselves with the electric charging stations that are needed for electric vehicles to circulate independently.

The electric car produces no greenhouse gas emissions and no noise pollution. Fernandez explained that the Torrevieja based office is primarily intended to serve the administrations concerned in siting such stations in residential and tourist areas in Alicante and Murcia, and with residents increasingly aware and interested in purchasing this type of vehicle, for urban journeys, the demand will increase enormously in the next 2 or 3 years.

As well as the obvious advantages with much lower emission and pollution the expenditure required for running an electric vehicle is three times lower than that derived from fossil fuel. But the one major obstacle preventing the launch of electric cars in Spain is the absence of a supply network for charging them up.

However in 2012, only 1,500 such vehicles were registered in Spain. Fernandez feels though that the improvement to the charging network will bring with it a corresponding increase in the number of electric cars that are purchased.
