The reality of electric cars has changed a lot and currently there are many chargers spread throughout the country to satisfy the needs of a type of vehicle that little by little has been implemented as a true alternative to combustion.

The data of the Spanish Association of Automobile and Truck Manufacturers (AEFAC) has assured this Tuesday through the Electromobility Barometer that these have increased by 37% in 2025 compared to the previous year. However, this hides a truth that affects many users who encounter numerous complications in filling the batteries.

In total, in Spain there are 53,072 charging pointsa figure that would rise to almost 70,000 if all those that do not work were put into operation, according to the association.

“The operating terminal does not work, the applications do not work. There is also the Moves plan… we Spaniards will have paid a damn fortune for this to be here“, the mechanic comments really indignantly, adding that “takes 25 minutes” and it still doesn’t load anything.
