Electric mobility in Spain continues to advance steadily, with a 40% increase in electric vehicle registrations in the past year. Now, a new feature promises to make the charging process even more convenient for EV drivers: Bizum payments.
This payment method, already well-established in everyday transactions, has now reached charging stations, offering a simple, secure, and fast alternative.
Ibil, one of the pioneering companies in charging infrastructure, has implemented this feature at its charging points. “We want our users’ experience to be as simple as possible,” said a company spokesperson.
With just a phone number—and no need for additional apps—drivers can pay for the energy supplied to their vehicles.

The collaboration between Bizum and Ibil reflects a growing trend toward digitalization and process simplification in the electric mobility sector.
“Technology should be a facilitator, not a barrier,” said an industry innovation expert.
This new payment process speeds up transactions while contributing to the expansion of critical infrastructure for energy transition. The ease of use and security offered by Bizum could encourage more users to switch to electric vehicles, eliminating perceived obstacles like payment complexity at charging stations.
Finally, the introduction of Bizum payments at charging stations clearly demonstrates how technology can simplify daily life while simultaneously driving a more sustainable future—reducing CO2 emissions by 30% compared to internal combustion vehicles.
