THE CHALLENGE

With the increasing adoption of electric vehicles (EVs), Iberdrola needed to efficiently plan 1,200 EV charging stations in a dense urban area. The challenge was:

Assessing grid capacity to determine where charging points could be installed.

Ensuring grid quality while integrating new access and connection points.

Automating planning to optimize costs and reduce manual workload.

Traditional methods were slow and labor-intensive, requiring up to six months to develop a comprehensive mobility plan. Iberdrola needed a faster, smarter, and more scalable approach.
