Spain’s EV charging map has officially launched, giving electric vehicle drivers real-time access to more than 25,000 public charging stations across the country. The new tool, called the Reve Map, is designed to simplify EV travel and encourage more people to make the switch to electric cars.
Presented by Third Vice President and Minister for Ecological Transition Sara Aagesen, the Reve Map offers detailed, up-to-the-minute information for each charging location. Drivers can check electricity prices, charging speeds, live availability, and even see if there are nearby cafés or services where they can wait while their vehicle charges.
How the Map Works
The Reve Map is accessible via www.mapareve.es and can be downloaded to smartphones for use on the go. The project was developed in collaboration with Red Eléctrica and supported by 189 operators—representing about 80% of Spain’s EV charging market. At launch, the map displays 25,669 charging points with 26,088 connectors across 8,120 locations.
One of the most promising features is that 99% of Spain now has a charging point within 50 kilometers, significantly reducing range anxiety for EV drivers. The tool is also dynamic, with data constantly being updated as new points come online and more operators join the network.
According to regulations, all charging stations offering more than 43 kW of power are required to appear on the map, but the goal is to include all public stations regardless of speed. Users can click on any location to see operational hours, connector type, pricing, traffic, payment options, and the name of the operating company.
Encouraging EV Adoption in Spain
Arturo Pérez de Lucía, general director of the Business Association for the Development and Promotion of Electric Mobility (AEDIVE), emphasized that the map could be a powerful motivator for hesitant consumers. He noted that people might not realize how many charging points are already available. With this tool, drivers can even plan routes based on where they can charge along the way.
The launch of the map is just one of ten actions included in Spain’s 2025 strategy to promote electric vehicle adoption. Another key measure is the extension of the Moves III Plan, which provides €400 million in support for EV purchases and infrastructure. This plan, retroactive to January 1, is expected to run through the end of 2025 pending parliamentary approval.
Next Steps for a Greener Transport Network
Spain’s roadmap for electric mobility also includes improved road signage. A new set of signs is expected to be approved by June 2025 to better indicate the presence of EV charging stations. The Ministry of Transport will oversee this effort, which aims to make chargers more visible—especially those already installed but not clearly marked.
Additional efforts include streamlining the legal process for bringing new charging stations online, publishing regional best practices between May and August, and creating a capacity demand map led by the National Commission on Markets and Competition (CNMC).
José López-Tafall, general manager of the Spanish Association of Automobile and Truck Manufacturers (Anfac), welcomed the map’s launch, calling it a vital resource for both current and potential EV owners. While 42.2% of the country’s public charging points are already ultra-fast, he acknowledged that increasing high-power infrastructure remains a top priority moving forward.
With the launch of the Reve Map, Spain is taking a visible and practical step toward supporting its green transport goals. The map not only addresses the common fear of “nowhere to charge,” but also marks a shift toward a more accessible, informed, and user-friendly EV ecosystem.
