Spain closed 2025 with a total of 50,000 publicly accessible EV charging points, marking a 10.18% increase compared to 2024, according to figures published by AEDIVE and compiled from national charge point operators (CPOs).
The milestone confirms the continued expansion of Spain’s public charging network, with high-power infrastructure emerging as the main growth driver over the past year.
High-power chargers lead the expansion
The strongest growth in 2025 was recorded in high-power charging segments. Charging points with capacities between 50 and 250 kW more than doubled, posting a 106.47% increase year-on-year, while chargers above 250 kW grew by 85.82%.
Fast charging infrastructure in the 22 to 50 kW range also expanded, rising by 16.44% as of 1 January 2026, reinforcing the availability of rapid charging options across the network.
The data underline a clear shift towards higher-capacity chargers, reflecting the increasing need to support medium- and long-distance EV travel.
Regional concentration remains high
In terms of geographical distribution, Catalonia, Madrid and Andalusia continue to lead the national ranking as the regions with the highest number of public charging points. Together, these three regions account for nearly 49% of Spain’s total public charging infrastructure.
When the Valencian Community is included, the four regions collectively represent close to 60% of the country’s public charging network, highlighting a continued concentration of infrastructure in Spain’s most populous and economically active areas.
Focus shifts to destination charging
The growing presence of high-power chargers has strengthened coverage along interurban routes, consolidating the upward trend in ultra-fast charging deployment on major corridors.
However, Arturo Pérez de Lucia, Director General of AEDIVE, stresses that the next phase of development must address other charging needs:
“The necessary resources have been put in place to develop a high-power charging network capable of meeting the requirements of medium- and long-distance travel. Now it is also essential to reinforce destination charging, particularly in urban and peri-urban areas and using alternating current, to serve users who cannot charge at home or do not have access to private parking.”
As Spain’s public charging network continues to expand, the challenge increasingly lies in balancing high-power corridor coverage with accessible destination charging, ensuring that infrastructure growth keeps pace with the evolving needs of EV users across the country.
