The LEVA-EU member’s Road Show stopped in the shopping area of Heron City in the Spanish capital to demonstrate its electric mobility ecosystem for sustainable urban travel.
The Spanish brand was there for two days, giving attendees the opportunity to meet and test its vehicles, with highlights including a new customised version of the S04 electric nanocar, and a Swap Challenge, to experience what it is like to move with Silence.
The LEVA-EU member is expanding its network in the region to support sales of its S04 electric microcar. Specifically, it is looking for partners specialised in urban mobility and microcars.
Silence’s S04 is a 100% light electric vehicle that has been designed for the city with competitive pricing.
Innovated by a brand that’s fully focused on delivering light electric transportation solutions, the S04 is a compact mobility solution created to meet the rapidly evolving market for customers needing smarter city transportation.
It is well equipped to meet new demands of urban mobility, offering great range, enhanced comfort, air conditioning, and electric windows.
Silence is looking for partners to drive its transition and grow with a differentiated e-mobility offering.
The CFO of Silence, a brand of LEVA-EU member Acciona, explained the significance of electric mobility as an increasingly smart and sustainable replacement to the standard car, especially so in the context of rising fuel costs. Alongside various stakeholders, she took part in an electric mobility round table discussion, organised by Spanish media El Confidencial in collaboration with Acciona.
The round table included industry experts, including Silence’s CFO Cristina Martínez, Arancha García Hermo, Director of the Industry and Environment area of ANFAC, Arturo Pérez de Lucia, General Director of the Business Association for the Development and Promotion of Electric Mobility (AEDIVE), and Álvaro Sauras, Vice President of the Association of Electric Vehicle Users (AUVE). They all emphasised the benefits of electric mobility as being sustainable for the environment and for people’s wallets, as a cheaper alternative to the car, notably so due to rising fuel prices.
“If we compare consumption and the price of current fuel, electric mobility comes out on top,” explains Cristina Martínez.
Silence light electric vehicles as a cost-effective and convenient sustainable mobility solution
During the meeting, Martínez explained that Silence’s cutting-edge technology and product development can help consumers replace their cars with a more cost-effective mobility solution.
Its light electric vehicles, which operate on swappable batteries, have already proven popular in Spanish cities. With its swappable battery offering, Silence eliminates users needing to wait around for their electric motorcycles and microcars to recharge, unlike many other electric vehicles.
What can be done to improve take-up
Martínez is calling on the industry to “rethink the needs of drivers” as it has the opportunity to innovate vehicles for specific scenarios.
In relation to charging solutions, Martínez and other panelists agreed that there should be a range of alternatives and models. “Not everyone has the same needs, and we have to see which solution best suits each situation. The advantage lies in having different options and being able to use them as desired.”
All round-table members agreed on the need for clear European regulations, with more focus on subsidies and incentives rather than penalties.
Martínez emphasised that subsidies need to arrive on time, and that incentives need to help the whole industry to gain traction.
“There needs to be clear regulation with a consistent direction. We have to get people to make that mental shift,” reiterated Martínez.
The roundtable discussion highlighted the significance of electric mobility in maintaining strategic security and energy independence for Spain during the current complex global geopolitical situation.
As the discussion ended, Martínez emphasised this importance and the need for the public sector to help encourage continued participation:
“Electric vehicles contribute to Spain’s energy independence, and in these turbulent times, this is important. They must be adapted to each user. We need public administrations to believe in the project, and we all need to support it and keep moving forward.”

The LEVA-EU member has been awarded a contract by the Community of Madrid to modify an old petrol station into an ultra-fast charging hub, which includes a battery swap station for its Silence electric motorcycles. The electric mobility charging hub is expected to be operational by 2027.
The 1,281 m² infrastructure is anticipated to be the largest public EV charging station inside the Spanish capital’s M-30 ring road, located within the Madrid Nuevo Norte development area. It will support a range of electric mobility users from corporate fleets, urban services and end-users who need minimal charging time.
The charging station, which will have 4MW of power, is under a public concession model and will be operated by Acciona for 30 years. It will have 20 spaces for vehicle charging – 19 for passenger cars and 1 for heavy vehicles. A battery-swapping station for Silence electric motorcycles – an Acciona brand – will also be in place, allowing riders to swiftly change depleted batteries for freshly charged ones.
The station will recharge with 100% renewable energy, supported by:
Photovoltaic system for self-consumption
Generation of a net annual surplus exceeding 35,000 kWh
Real-time traceability system for renewable origin
Photocatalytic facade capable of eliminating pollutants and improving air quality
Acciona’s house of mobility
The Spanish company has stated that the “house of mobility” will include: a charging area, a vending area, accessible toilets, a muti-purpose space for electric mobility dissemination and events.
Making electric mobility more accessible
This latest development aids Acciona in reinforcing its role as a major operator in urban charging infrastructure, as a welcome addition to its list of 5,000 charging points in Spain and Portugal.
Working under the Acciona umbrella is Silence vehicles, who declared that Madrid is taking “a historic leap towards electric mobility” with the new station eliminating waiting times and reducing barriers as it brings electric mobility closer to millions of people in the heart of the city.
