Spain’s public EV charging network hits 50,000 points in 2025

Spain closed 2025 with 50,000 operational public charging points, according to e-mobility association AEDIVE figures compiled from national CPOs, a 10.18% increase versus 2024.

Deployment remains concentrated in Catalonia, Madrid and Andalusia, which together account for nearly 49% of public infrastructure. Adding the Valencian Community brings the combined share to almost 60%, underscoring uneven regional distribution even as interurban corridors see a clear uptick in high‑power sites.

Growth was strongest in high‑power infrastructure: units between 50–250 kW doubled (+106.47%), while >250 kW chargers rose 85.82%. Fast charging (22–50 kW) also climbed 16.44% through January 1, 2026.

The expansion strengthens long‑distance travel capability and supports higher utilization as electric vehicle (EV) adoption rises. Still, urban and peri‑urban destination AC charging is flagged as the next priority to serve drivers without private parking or home chargers.

Arturo Pérez de Lucia, AEDIVE’s managing director, said: “The necessary resources have been put in place to develop a high‑power charging network that can meet the needs of medium‑ and long‑distance travel. The next step is to also reinforce destination charging in urban and peri‑urban areas.”

Spain’s 2025 rollout confirms a two‑speed expansion: corridor High Power Charging (HPC) first, followed by the needed build‑out of destination charging, to keep pace with everyday charging needs and reduce adoption bottlenecks.
