Choosing the right electricity tariff for your electric car in 2026 can make a significant difference to the annual cost of charging, especially for those who regularly charge their vehicle at home. Knowing what tariffs are available, how they work, and what aspects to compare is key to making the most of the savings offered by electric mobility.

Why you need a specific tariff if you have an electric car

Selecting the best electricity tariff is a necessary step to ensure your investment in a zero-emissions vehicle has the greatest impact. Data indicates that between 80% and 90% of charging takes place at home. This means that your electricity contract effectively becomes your new service station. And unlike traditional refuelling, where the price at the pump usually remains stable throughout the day, in the electricity market the price per kWh can vary depending on your contract and the time of day.

Charging during peak hours can significantly increase your travel costs, reducing the financial advantage of electrification. In this scenario, having a competitive tariff is vital to avoid skyrocketing your monthly budget. But which one is the most suitable?

Endesa's Recarga en Casa tariff: what does it offer?

The Recarga en Casa tariff is Endesa's answer for electric car owners in Spain. It stands out for its focus on simplicity. This is a fixed-rate option designed for charging at home.

As of June 2026, what this tariff essentially offers is predictability and greater peace of mind:

• A fixed monthly fee of €24.65 (excluding taxes).
• Energy included up to 216.99 kWh per billing cycle (equivalent to driving around 1,250 km in your electric car).
• A stable 24-hour price for consumption exceeding the allowance (no stress and no time restrictions).
• A 10% discount for the first year for new contracts.
• An additional 30% discount when installing an electric charger with Endesa.

The main advantage: charging without watching the clock

Often, the best tariff for charging an electric car at home is not the absolute cheapest one. Sometimes, a more flexible tariff pays off. The norm for electric car tariffs with time-of-use rates (the majority on the market) is that they force you to concentrate your consumption during off-peak hours, usually from 00:00 to 08:00.

Our Recarga en Casa tariff eliminates this restriction. You can plug in your vehicle 24 hours a day without fear of financial penalties on your bill. It is the ideal alternative for:

• Those seeking peace of mind: they prefer a fixed fee and do not want to worry about time bands or market fluctuations.
• Those who need their car always ready: charging in short bursts throughout the day.
• Professionals with an electric van or taxi: they use the vehicle as a work tool, work night shifts, or need greater control and availability.
• Users with a garage but no personal charger: they can maximise their savings with an additional 30% discount on their monthly fee by installing one with Endesa.

Up to 1,250 km a month: who does it suit?

The energy included in the fixed fee (216.99 kWh) is calculated to cover approximately 1,250 km per month, according to estimates by the Institute for the Diversification and Saving of Energy (IDAE). This calculation is based on an estimated average consumption of 17.6 kWh per 100 km.

Who is this mileage sufficient for?

• Urban and suburban users: those who commute an average of 40–50 km daily.
• Plug-in hybrid drivers: who typically have smaller batteries and cover short distances in electric mode.
• Second household vehicles: cars used for running errands or school runs.

If you drive your car for about 15,000 km a year, this tariff is still a good option for you, as the bulk of your charging costs is covered at a highly competitive price. Let us show you.

How much does it cost to charge 1,250 km a month?

To find out how much it costs to charge an electric car at home each month, we will compare different tariffs. Using a baseline consumption of 216.99 kWh/month, let's look at the energy cost (excluding taxes) with Endesa's current tariffs and offers for June 2026:

As you can see, if you are able to always charge your car at night, the Conecta 3 Periods tariff might be an option for you.

However, if you decide to install a home charger with Endesa, or if you simply value flexibility, the Recarga en Casa tariff is the best option for your electric car.

What if I consume more than the included 1,250 km?

With the Recarga en Casa tariff, there are no penalties. Any kWh exceeding the 216.99 included in the fee are billed at the tariff's standard rate. Furthermore, new customers receive a 10% discount for the first year on the price of this excess energy.

However, you must consider the breakdown of consumption between your car and your home to get the most out of this tariff: the base fee will be applied in full as long as the car's energy does not account for more than 60% of the total monthly consumption, including both the home and the car. In other words, the tariff is designed to help you save when you also have normal household electricity consumption and the car does not account for virtually all of your energy usage.

Recarga en Casa tariff vs. night-time tariff

Many users wonder whether a night-time tariff for their electric car is worth it. Here are two scenarios to help you decide which one suits you best:

H3: Scenario A: You always charge in the early hours

If you already have a programmable charger and your routine allows you to charge at home at night, an off-peak tariff like the Conecta 3 Periods tariff is the most cost-effective option, allowing you to pay only for what you consume during the cheapest hours.

Scenario B: You charge at any time

If you prefer not to rely on strict schedules or have unpredictable mobility needs, the Recarga en Casa tariff with a fixed fee is best for you, as it provides a known expenditure regardless of the time. Moreover, if you install your charger with Endesa, you can enjoy an additional discount.

Adding a charger: when does it make sense?

An electric car tariff combined with a home charger is the most comprehensive solution. Installing a charger like the Waybox is not just a matter of necessity or convenience; it is also about savings.

By contracting the Recarga en Casa tariff together with a charger from Endesa, you get a 30% discount on your monthly fee.

Furthermore, Waybox devices include power balancing: a system that monitors household consumption and automatically adjusts the car's charging speed so that you don't exceed your limit and trip the fuses. This way, you don't need to increase your home's contracted power.
