Commercial and office areas, including car rental.
Challenge: Comply with Royal Decree Law 29/2021 (≥50 kW) while optimizing space and traffic flow, and demonstrate the profitability of fast charging amid industry skepticism.
Solution: Floox Lyra 60 (60 kW, 2 DC connectors, simultaneous charging), compact integration and quick commissioning.
Impact: Appearance on e-mobility maps, new customer profiles, cross-selling during waiting times, and payback ~12 months under comparable real-world usage.
“The Lyra 60 has allowed us to comply with regulations quickly. The most positive aspect is that we are seeing new customer profiles taking advantage of charging while visiting the shopping center or local dining services.” — Pepe Sánchez, owner of MC Gas.
Context: obligations and potential
Service stations are required to install fast-charging infrastructure of at least 50 kW, which has raised doubts about return on investment. In commercial and industrial environments, the flow of people and vehicles turns each 20–30 minute stop into an additional consumption opportunity (store, car wash, dining), increasing the average ticket per visit.
Key aspects of the MC Gas location:
Mixed traffic (traditional customers + potential EVs).
Constant footfall from industrial zones and commercial facilities.
Opportunity to attract EVs through visibility on apps and fast-charging maps such as Electromaps, Google Maps, and platforms like Reve, by appearing as an available DC point.
The challenge: optimize space and comply with the law
Service stations must install fast chargers of at least 50 kW, raising questions about profitability. Although there is skepticism regarding EV demand, data shows that this infrastructure can attract new customers and increase sales during charging.
The solution: Floox Lyra 60 (60 kW, 2 connectors, simultaneous charging)
Why Lyra 60:
Guaranteed compliance: 60 kW nominal power meeting legal requirements.
Future-proof: Lyra 60 can be easily upgraded to 80 kW, reducing charging time by an additional 25% and ensuring the station is ready for evolving battery sizes and market demands.
Compact design: integrates seamlessly in service areas without interfering with critical traffic flows.
Two DC connectors: simultaneous charging, higher turnover, and better asset performance.
Quick commissioning: coordinated work with the installer and integration with the management platform for intuitive payments from day one.
Project economics: from skepticism to ROI
Break-even point:
60/80 kW charger, 2 connectors
Break-even: 1 charge/day of 25 kWh (~33% of battery; e.g., from 40% to 73%).
Comparable real-world usage:
Average: 3 cars/day, ~100 kWh/day
Approximate monthly scale: ~100 transactions/month, ~3 MWh/month
Estimated payback: ~12 months with upward revenue trend

Quick insights (Jun 2024–Jan 2025):
Growing revenue trend
Stable energy volume around ~3 MWh/month
~100 operations/month, sufficient to sustain 12-month payback
Business impact: more traffic, higher ticket, more visibility
Attract EV flow via presence on apps and fast-charging maps like Electromaps, Google Maps, and platforms like Reve.
Cross-selling during 20–30 min wait: store, car wash, dining, and adjacent shops.
New customer profiles (office workers and commercial area visitors).
Legal certainty and operation ready to scale over time.
Results:
Regulatory compliance (≥50 kW) without complex works or operational capacity loss.
Turning obligation into opportunity: profitable asset with moderate use.
