The complete guide to home electric car charging points
Switching to electric mobility is easier and more cost-effective than ever. Installing a home charging point before 31 December 2025 will bring you convenience and savings, and allow you to claim a deduction on your 2026 income tax return, preparing your home for the future.
Electric mobility is gaining ground in Spain. More and more drivers are opting for an electric or plug-in hybrid car, and one of the most important steps to enjoying it to the fullest is to install a charging point at home. By doing so, you will not only gain convenience and safety, but if you complete the installation before 31 December 2025, you can also benefit from an income tax deduction that will reduce your tax bill on your 2026 tax return.
Below, we explain how to install a charging point at your property, what requirements you need to meet, and how to take advantage of this tax opportunity before the year is out.
Benefits of having a home charging point
Having a home charger offers a series of clear benefits when it comes to charging your electric car:
- Convenience: You can charge your vehicle while you sleep and start the day with a 100% battery.
- Savings: You can take advantage of your electricity tariff's off-peak hours to reduce the cost per kWh, allowing you to save on your bills, even when charging your EV.
- Safety: Charging your electric car at home avoids the risks associated with conventional sockets, thanks to specific safety protections. It also eliminates potential issues linked to public chargers, such as accidental damage or other inconveniences.
- Independence: With this solution, you can forget about having to travel to public charging points, which are often located away from central areas, and the queues that come with them.
Types of home chargers for electric cars (Wallboxes)
The most common home chargers are Wallboxes, which are installed on the wall of your garage or parking area. You can choose between single-phase or three-phase models, with power ratings from 3.7 kW up to 22 kW. For domestic use, a 7.4 kW model usually offers the best balance of charging speed and cost. Furthermore, some models include smart features such as scheduled charging, remote control, or integration with solar panels.

MOVES III grants: how to save when installing your charger
The MOVES III Grant Scheme allows you to receive a subsidy for up to 70% or 80% of the total installation cost, depending on the autonomous community. This grant is not included in the tax deduction base, which means it can be combined with the income tax benefit.
Step-by-step: how to install a charging point at your property
Assess your needs
Before deciding on a specific model, it is advisable to analyse the type of vehicle and its battery capacity, the contracted electrical power of your home, and the most suitable location for the charger, whether in a private or communal garage, or outdoors.
Choose the right charger
On the market, you will find single-phase and three-phase options, with power ratings ranging from 3.7 kW to over 22 kW. For home use, a 7.4 kW charger is the most common choice, offering a good balance between charging speed and cost.
Contact a certified installer
It is essential to have a certified installer carry out the work. A qualified professional ensures that the installation complies with current electrical regulations, is safe for daily use, and that you have all the necessary documentation to apply for grants and tax deductions.
Obtain the necessary permits
In some cases, you may need to obtain prior permits. If the charging point is to be installed in a communal garage, the law governing shared properties allows you to do so by simply notifying the homeowners' association in advance, without needing a vote of approval, as long as you bear the cost of the installation.
Carry out the installation
With everything ready, the installation can proceed. The installer will be responsible for running the wiring from the fuse box, fitting the charger with the necessary protections, and configuring it to optimise charging during off-peak hours, thereby reducing energy costs.
Certification and documentation
Finally, don't forget the certification and documentation. It is essential to keep detailed, itemised invoices showing VAT, the Electrical Installation Certificate, and proof of payment—which cannot be made in cash. These documents will be crucial for claiming the corresponding deduction on your income tax return. This documentation is essential for your deduction to be approved.
Tax deductions for installing a charging point
Royal Decree-Law 5/2023, extended until 31 December 2025, provides for a 15% income tax deduction on the amounts paid to install a charging system in a private residence. Key requirements:
- Timescale: Payments made between 30 June 2023 and 31 December 2025.
- Maximum base: €4,000.
- Payment method: Card, bank transfer, personal cheque, or bank deposit.
- Compatibility: Amounts subsidised by the MOVES III Grant Scheme are not included in the base for this deduction.
How to apply the deduction on your 2026 tax return
To prepare your 2026 tax return, simply follow these steps:
- Declare the total cost of the installation, without subtracting any grants received.
- Apply the 15% deduction to that base, up to a maximum of €4,000.
- Keep all invoices, certificates, and proof of payment. Provide them if requested by the Spanish Tax Agency.
For example, if your installation costs €2,500 and you receive no grants, you can deduct €375 from your income tax (€2,500 × 15%).
Tips to make the most of the deduction
- Plan your installation in advance: Installers' schedules fill up quickly towards December. Book your appointment as soon as possible to avoid a last-minute rush.
- Supplement your investment with the MOVES III Grant Scheme: The grants do not count towards the deduction base, but they do reduce your actual out-of-pocket expense.
- Switch to a time-of-use electricity tariff: Charging during off-peak hours can dramatically lower the cost per kWh for your charging point.
- Think long-term: Choose a charger with an adjustable power rating. This will allow you to adapt it to new needs or future vehicles without changing the installation.
Long-term benefits of a home charging point
Having a home charger is a smart investment: it reduces costs, promotes sustainable mobility, and enhances your energy independence. By using clean energy, you minimise emissions and can charge with complete freedom.
Furthermore, if you complete the installation before 31 December 2025, you will gain convenience and safety, and you will be able to access a deduction on your 2026 income tax return. With good planning and professional support, you can meet all the requirements and maximise your savings.
