Galp launches Portugal’s first 480 kW charger
New ultrafast charging site in Lisbon adds 600 kW capacity and supports up to six vehicles simultaneously.
Galp has established a new ultrafast electric vehicle (EV) charging hub at Calçada de Carriche, one of the main road access routes to Lisbon, introducing Portugal’s first 480 kW charger. The site, designed to support growing EV adoption, allows up to four vehicles to charge simultaneously at high power, complemented by an additional 120 kW unit serving two more cars.
The installation delivers a total capacity of 600 kW and aims to reduce waiting times while improving charging efficiency on a corridor used daily by tens of thousands of drivers. The hub connects key routes between Campo Grande, Odivelas and major highways including the A8, CRIL and IC22.
The project involved converting an existing Galp service station, removing traditional fuel pumps to prioritize e-mobility infrastructure. The site integrates convenience retail, café services and car care, alongside weather protection, enhanced lighting, CCTV systems and an integrated payment terminal.
The opening reflects Galp’s strategy to expand and upgrade its e-mobility network across Iberia, focusing on high-traffic urban areas and main roads while deploying advanced charging technology. In 2025, the company recorded a record 2.1 million charging sessions across its network, supported by continued growth.
In 2026, Galp’s EV charging network surpassed 9,000 public and private charging points, with around 20% classified as fast or ultrafast. The new Lisbon hub strengthens this infrastructure, positioning the company to meet rising demand for faster and more accessible electric vehicle charging solutions.
