Are you a traveller with an electric or hybrid car who wants to explore Catalonia in Northern Spain? Whether you are planning to visit the vibrant cities of Barcelona, Tarragona and Girona, or relax on the beautiful Costa Brava or Costa Dorada, a reliable charging option for your electric vehicle (EV) is a must. However, the number of holiday homes and holiday resorts with charging stations in Spain is limited.

EV Charging Options in Catalonia: What to Look for
Catalonia in Northern Spain is a popular destination for tourists, thanks to Barcelona, the beautiful beaches, picturesque villages and the many cultural attractions. But when you’re travelling in an electric or hybrid vehicle, it’s essential to plan your charging options. Here are some of the challenges EV drivers may face:
1. Limited availability of charging stations
While charging stations are increasingly common in major cities and along major roads, there are still relatively few charging points available in more remote areas and even at many luxury resorts in Catalonia. This can require extra attention and planning, especially if you’re staying outside of major cities.
2. Distance between charging stations
In rural areas of Catalonia in particular, charging stations can be farther apart. This makes it essential to plan your route carefully to avoid running out of power.
3. Waiting times and availability
Public charging stations can be fully booked during peak tourist seasons, especially in popular locations. This can lead to longer wait times, making it a good idea to have your own charging station at your holiday destination.
The benefits of holiday homes and holiday parks with EV charging stations
Holidaymakers who opt for a luxury holiday home or resort with EV charging stations enjoy numerous benefits. What are the main advantages of staying at such a location?
• Carefree charging during your stay
A charging station at your holiday destination gives you the opportunity to charge your car overnight, so that you are ready to explore new places the next day without worrying about the range.
• Sustainable travel
By staying in a holiday home or holiday resort that offers charging facilities, you are making an environmentally friendly choice. More and more holiday destinations in Catalonia are taking steps towards sustainability, and an EV charging station fits in perfectly with this.
• Time saving and convenience
Instead of spending time looking for public charging stations, a holiday home or resort with its own charging point gives you the luxury of making the most of your holiday. Enjoy more time at the pool, on the beach, or during cultural excursions in the region.
Challenges for EV drivers on holiday in Spain
Although Catalonia in Northern Spain is easily accessible for EVs, there can be some challenges:
1. Limited charging infrastructure inland
Outside of the big cities, charging stations can be hard to find. In more rural areas, such as the Pyrenees, you often have to drive further to reach a charging point.
2. Charging station compatibility
Not all charging stations are compatible with every type of EV or every type of plug. Make sure you check in advance which charging stations are suitable for your car and which charging cards or apps you need to access them.
3. Charging costs
The cost of charging your car can vary depending on the location and type of charging station. It is wise to check the rates of public charging stations and if possible choose a stay with a cheap charging station.
How to prepare for your EV holiday in Spain
Good preparation is half the battle, especially when you are going on holiday with an electric car. Here are some tips to make sure your trip to Spain goes smoothly:
