EV Market Report Spain

Executive summary

Spain’s EV market is preparing for a massive expansion. By 2030, the number of electric vehicles is set to grow more than tenfold, from 0.4 M to 5.0 M.

Today, there are around 50 K public charging points across the country, but usage is still relatively low. However, usage is expected to rise fast, driven by the large growth in EVs and high volumes of tourist travel.

But the charging infrastructure isn’t ready yet. Only 21% of the needed capacity is in place, and usage on most chargers remains low. There are also big regional differences in infrastructure readiness, though more on that later in the report.

EV charging market overview Spain vs Europe

The table below compares EV penetration, public charging infrastructure, and charger-to-EV ratios across 10 European countries — including Spain. This makes it easier to benchmark Spain against peers like Portugal, France, and the Netherlands.

Spain is still catching up when it comes to EV adoption. Only 0.72% of vehicles are electric — a much lower share than neighbouring countries France and Portugal.

The country has about 39 K public AC charging points which comes down to 11 EVs per AC charging point, comparable to many other countries.

But on the DC side, there are already 10 K DC charging points — a high number given the amount of EV cars today. These chargers are underused for now, but are waiting eagerly for the coming growth in EVs.

The number of ultrafast charging points (2.9 K) is 3 times lower than the number of fast charging points (8.6 K). This is likely due to limitations of the electric grid.

EV charging prices in Spain remain low compared to the rest of Europe, similar to France:

AC: 0.32 €/kWh
Fast: 0.39 €/kWh
Ultrafast: 0.47 €/kWh

This is largely thanks to Spain’s lower energy prices.

Evolution of EV adoption in Spain until 2030

The number of EVs on the road is set to grow 10x by the end of 2030.

Spain’s EV fleet is set to grow more than tenfold — from 0.4 million in 2025 to 5.0 million by 2030.

To support this, charging infrastructure needs to scale fast. Spain currently has 1.1 GW of installed charging capacity. By 2030, that needs to reach 5.2 GW — an additional 4.1 GW in less than five years.

Today’s infrastructure is underbuilt compared to EV ambitions and even countries with similar EV numbers have more robust charging networks already in place.

And not every region will need the same care so smart capacity scaling based on usage predictions will be crucial.

Future charging needs per region in Spain

The Spanish market is currently at 21% of the required power by 2030.

Spain needs to grow from 1.1 GW to 5.2 GW of public charging power in 5 years — and most of that still needs to be built. There is a lot of potential, but it needs to be developed carefully.

The available power currently varies heavily per region.

Some regions like Madrid and Catalonia are far behind. Madrid has reached only 12% of its required 2030 capacity, while Catalonia sits at just 22%.

An example of location with high potential is reported in our hotspot report of Mataró, Catalonia.

On the other hand, a few regions are well ahead. Both Castile and León and Navarre balance around 40% of their 2030 goals.

These uneven differences reflect how regional governments have prioritised EV infrastructure but also the different future needs in terms of charging capacity.

How can you create your most profitable network by 2030?

In the sprint towards the 2030 targets, making smart, data-driven location decisions is more critical than ever. Acting quickly is essential, but acting strategically is what drives real returns. True ROI comes from placing the right type and number of charging points at locations where connection costs are viable and demand is proven.

To do this effectively, you need clear insights into the factors that define the performance of EV charging stations: from car passage and dwell time to local activity and infrastructure access. But gathering, combining, and analyzing all that data? That’s a challenge.

That's where ChargePlanner comes in. The platform lets you simulate and test multiple configurations at once, combining best-in-class market data, local visitor behavior, and predictive AI.
