Spain’s publicly accessible electric vehicle charging network reached 50,000 operational charging points by the start of 2026, with the number of fast chargers more than doubling over the past year, according to industry data released by AEDIVE.
Figures from the Spanish Association for the Development and Promotion of Electromobility show the network expanded by 10.18% compared with the end of 2024, based on information collected from national charging infrastructure operators. Growth was strongest in higher-power segments, reflecting efforts to support long-distance electric travel.

Charging points with power outputs between 50 kilowatts and 250 kW increased by 106.47% to 5,649 units, while ultra-fast chargers above 250 kW rose by 85.82% to 974. AEDIVE noted that the sharp growth rates were amplified by a relatively small starting base, as Spain had just 2,736 chargers in the 50–250 kW range and 525 above 250 kW at the end of 2024.
Mid-range chargers between 22 kW and 50 kW grew by 16.44% to 9,727 units. Lower-powered infrastructure showed more mixed trends: charging points rated at exactly 22 kW increased modestly to 19,752, remaining the largest category, while chargers below 22 kW declined to 13,898.

Regionally, charging infrastructure remains concentrated in a handful of areas. Catalonia, Madrid and Andalusia together account for almost half of Spain’s public charging network, AEDIVE said. Adding the Valencia region brings the share close to 60%, leaving most of Spain’s 17 autonomous communities with low single-digit shares. Galicia accounts for about 3.9% of the total, Aragón 2.5%, and La Rioja 0.6%, while the autonomous cities of Ceuta and Melilla together represent just 0.04%.
“The necessary resources have been allocated to develop a high-power charging network that meets the demands of medium- and long-distance travel,” said Arturo Pérez de Lucia, chief executive of AEDIVE. “Now, it is also essential to expand the charging network at destinations, in urban and peri-urban areas, and with alternating current to provide a solution for those who do not have charging options in their parking spaces or do not own one.”
