The electrification of transportation in Spain is not just a matter for car, van, or truck manufacturers. It also involves government authorities and private investors, including energy companies.
And if there’s one company that stands out among them, it’s Iberdrola. Not without reason, this Spanish company leads the market for public electric vehicle charging stations in Spain, with over 12,000 installed last year — or by building the largest charging complex in Madrid, featuring as many as 47 charging stations. Thanks to its extensive installation efforts at a rate of 2,300 chargers per month, it continues to solidify its position as a benchmark for electric vehicle owners.
Over 2,300 chargers installed each month, setting a new record every day
The energy company, a key partner of electric vehicle manufacturers, has released a statement detailing its current installation pace for chargers. The figures are impressive—and bring a smile to all supporters of electric vehicles in Spain.
According to its own data, Iberdrola deploys “over 2,000 chargers per month for private customers; around 100 per month for businesses; and more than 200 public charging points per month.” That adds up to over 2,300 chargers per month—or, as the energy company notes, since it is responsible for installing one in every five electric vehicle chargers in Spain, “over 100 charging points per day across homes, businesses, and public spaces.”
This daily installation rate will soon lead to another historic figure. With Iberdrola already having installed over 97,000 charging points, it is on track to exceed 100,000—something it will achieve in the coming months.
A favorable environment for the expansion of electric vehicles and their chargers
Iberdrola identifies several factors that have driven this installation rate of electric vehicle chargers in our country. The first is “a record-breaking progress in the sector” that occurred last September, when, according to DGT — notes Iberdrola — “four out of every 10 newly registered private cars were plug-in vehicles.”
A historic figure attributed, according to the energy sector, to “volatility in fossil fuels,” the competitiveness of electrification, and prices for plug-in models that are “becoming increasingly affordable.”
Iberdrola adds that home charging is the preferred charging option in Spain due to “90% savings compared to [the fuel costs] of combustion vehicles.”
Iberdrola, which currently holds a share of over 20% in public chargers and handles more than 10,000 charges daily, emphasizes that the use of these public charging stations is accelerating due to new electric vehicles and plug-in cars, which now offer ranges of up to 700 kilometers. Supporting this claim is the fact that as of 2026, the company’s public chargers have already processed more than three million charges.
