## Growing EV Charging in El Salvador

AES, through its Solutions Division, will lead the installation of modern, medium,
and [fast charging stations](https://greenlivingguy.com/2026/02/charging-up-the-island-with-new-ev-stations/).
They will be in strategic locations of their business partners, such as hotels, 
restaurants, supermarkets, and shopping centers. That’s in addition to universities,
parks, and private parking lots.

“Without a doubt, these efforts will be strengthened by the extensive experience
of Blink Charging through the strategic alliance that we celebrate today. We will
work together to establish an entire network of charging stations in different parts
of the country. Users of this means of transportation can trust that they will always
have a safe and nearby charging station,” said Abraham Bichara, Executive President
of AES El Salvador.

Both companies highlight the importance of such development and expansion. They 
say it’s crucial to promote more environmentally friendly driving and guarantee 
its sustainability over time.
