The increased number of ultra-fast charging points at the Alcácer do Sal and Aljustrel charging hubs on the A2 motorway serves the dual purpose of providing more and more powerful charging points, with a capacity of up to 400 kilowatts (kW). At these charging points, it's possible to recover a usable battery in less than 20 minutes, Galp guarantees, highlighting that even faster times are possible with vehicles that utilize higher charging power, according to a report by ECO.

These two new hubs integrate convenience services, night lighting, shelter, a front lane for people with reduced mobility, and automatic payment terminals.

This is the first phase of an investment plan in high-power charging platforms on the country's two main highways, the A1 and A2. With a total of 96 ultra-fast charging points distributed across eight hubs, the plan is scheduled for completion by the end of the first quarter of 2026.

The Portuguese company has been doubling the number of charging points every year since 2020, it points out, with 8,500 charging points installed in Portugal and Spain by the end of the third quarter of 2025, 20% of which are fast or ultra-fast.
