CONECTZ, Ecuador\u2019s first multi-brand ultra-fast charging plaza, was officially inaugurated in Quito, located at Av. Orellana and R\u00e1bida. The project, representing an initial investment of over USD 500,000 in state-of-the-art infrastructure, constitutes a strategic step toward accelerating the adoption of electric vehicles and consolidating the development of electromobility in the country.<\/p>\n

The station features eight charging units equipped with three types of connectors (CCS2, CCS1, and GB\/T), delivering up to 200 kW per connector. Its main technological innovation is a 600 kW intelligent load-splitting system, enabling each vehicle to charge at its maximum permitted speed. Operating autonomously 24\/7 via a mobile application and secured through closed-circuit surveillance, the brand promise is clear: charging from 20% to 80% in approximately 30 minutes.<\/p>\n

CONECTZ has outlined ambitious expansion plans. During 2026 and 2027, the company intends to install 30 additional ultra-fast charging stations and 50 slow-charging points, with a total investment exceeding USD 5 million, establishing the most robust ultra-fast charging network in Ecuador.
\nThe inauguration ceremony brought together national government authorities, representatives from state ministries, the Municipality of Quito, and leading automotive electromobility brands. Representing the Latin American and Caribbean Energy Organization (OLACDE), Fitzgerald Cantero, Director of Studies, Projects and Information, highlighted that the sustained growth of electric vehicles in Latin America requires strengthening charging infrastructure and creating enabling conditions for private investment.<\/p>\n

OLACDE underscored the importance of initiatives such as CONECTZ, which contribute to consolidating sustainable mobility ecosystems, strengthening energy planning, and supporting the transition toward cleaner and more resilient energy systems.<\/p>\n

CONECTZ is not merely a charging station; it represents the beginning of a network that will allow users to travel sustainably and reliably, contributing to the development of more modern and environmentally responsible cities.<\/p>\n
