McDonald’s and Iberdrola have consolidated their agreement to promote the sustainable mobility in Spain throughout this year, as reported in a statement.
Specifically, the restaurant chain reaffirms its commitment to sustainability by advancing in the implementation of new 50 kilowatt electric chargers (kW) for vehicles in the car parks of their more than 550 restaurants.
To this end, it has a collaboration agreement with Iberdrola, which has resulted in the start-up of 22 charging points to dateand that this year has the installation of new charging stations.
In this way, this alliance has already resulted in the installation of more than twenty charging points in the towns of Cáceres, Sagunt, Valladolid, Alcalá de Henares and Alcorcón, Badajoz, Golmayo (Soria), Mijas, Málaga and Palma from Majorca.
Among the main advantages of these chargers is the possibility of charging more than 80% of the battery of an electric vehicle in less than half an hour.
The purchasing, quality and environment director of McDonald’s Spain, Natalia Mota, stressed that this alliance is part of the brand’s commitment “to sustainable mobility”. “In this way, our restaurants offer good times to our consumers as well as options and services that help protect the environment”, she indicated.
McDonald’s promotes the use of electric cars and offers this service to anyone who approaches those restaurants that have these chargers, without the obligation to place an order at their premises.
For his part, Iberdrola’s commercial director for Spain, Alfonso Calderón, stressed that “the commitment to electrification of the economy and transport continues to mark the company’s roadmap and is something that is totally in line with the fight against climate change”.
“This type of agreement is a clear example of where we are going, and it will serve anyone who wants to use the electric car in an increasingly comfortable and simple way,” Calderón assured.
