Where to recharge an electric car in Spain: map of hotels

Charging your electric car at your hotel: map of hotel facilities offering free charging stations in Spain

Electric mobility is becoming increasingly popular and, with it, the need to find places to recharge electric cars. In recent years, the adoption of vehicles powered by energy stored in an electric battery has grown exponentially, and Spain is no exception.

About 150,000 pure electric cars (BEVs) and 225,000 plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) are currently on the road in Spain. 

However, as the electric vehicle fleet grows, so does the demand for charging infrastructure or charging stations. Drivers need to know where they can recharge their cars safely and efficiently.

In this article, we present a map of hotel facilities in Spain that offer free charging stations for electric cars and motorcycles . Discover hotels, bed and breakfasts and resorts with charging stations for electric vehicles such as Tesla, Nissan, Chevrolet and BMW in each Autonomous Community to plan your trips more easily.

The "electric revolution" of hotels: more charging stations for guests

The adoption of electric vehicles is growing at a rapid pace, and the hotel industry has noticed the increased demand for charging stations from guests.

This trend has been driven by government regulations encouraging sustainable solutions: Royal Decree Law 29/2021, also known as "Regulation 1/40," requires nonresidential buildings with more than 20 parking spaces, such as hotels, to install electric car charging points.

The goal is to significantly increase the number of charging stations in Spain and the availability of public charging points and thus encourage the use of electric cars.

Why is charging the electric car in the hotel a good option?

Charging your vehicle with an electric battery in a hotel has several advantages:

• Efficient and reliable charging: hotels with charging stations usually have high-powered electric charging stations that allow cars to be charged quickly and reliably.
• Secure parking: many hotel facilities have secure, guarded parking lots, giving you peace of mind while charging your car or motorcycle.
• Easier trip planning: having the confidence that you have a place to charge your electric vehicle allows you to plan your trips more comfortably. You no longer have to worry about locating a charging point along the way, which gives you more flexibility and freedom when it comes to plotting your routes and making stops.
• Access to services and conveniences: charging your electric car at the hotel allows you to enjoy the hotel's services and conveniences while your vehicle is being refueled. You can relax in the lounge, enjoy a delicious breakfast or lunch, or even work out in the hotel gym.
• Convenience and practicality: charging your electric car at your hotel is a convenient and comfortable option. You won't have to go out of your way to look for electric gas stations, saving you time and effort.
• Access to information and support: hotels that offer electric car charging points often have trained staff who can help you with any questions or problems you have with your vehicle.
