Endesa updates its map: over 7,100 charging points

If you are planning an electric car trip this summer, finding available charging points is just as important as choosing your destination, booking accommodation, or calculating your mileage.

Endesa has updated its charging point map and now boasts over 7,100 locations spread across Spain. A network designed to make travelling by electric vehicle increasingly effortless, especially during the holiday season.

The previous map, published on the Endesa blog, had become outdated due to the network's rapid growth. This update reflects the state of the charging infrastructure in 2026, with coverage across motorways, cities, coastal areas, and tourist destinations.

Why is this important for your summer trip?

Summer is one of the busiest times of the year for road travel in Spain. For electric car drivers, planning charging stops can mean the difference between a smooth, comfortable journey and one full of surprises.

Having an up-to-date map to hand allows you to:

• Plan long routes without relying on third-party apps that might have outdated information.
• Locate rapid charging points on the main routes leading to coastal areas.
• Avoid unnecessary detours looking for an available charger at the last minute.
• Check whether there are charging points near your holiday destination before you set off.

How to check the Endesa charging point map

You can access the interactive map and check the locations of the 7,100+ charging points distributed across the country via our Endesa On Your Way app

From the map, you can filter and locate the points closest to your route or destination. This is a particularly useful tool if you are making a long journey or travelling to high-demand areas during the summer months.

Tips for planning your electric car route this summer

Before setting off, it is worth taking a few minutes to review your route and anticipate your charging stops. These tips can help you:

Check your vehicle's real-world range, bearing in mind that factors such as air conditioning and high temperatures can reduce it.

• Locate several alternative charging points for each leg of the journey, just in case the nearest one is occupied, or book the charging point before you arrive to avoid surprises.
• Try to charge outside of peak hours in tourist areas, especially in August, when there is an influx of electric vehicles.
• Take advantage of recommended rest stops on long journeys to recharge the car and take a break yourself.
• Always have a charging app downloaded or the map saved offline, in case you drive through areas with poor mobile reception.

Endesa charging points by tourist destination

If you already know where you are travelling this summer, this quick regional guide can help you locate Endesa charging points without having to scour the entire map.

Costa Brava and Costa Dorada

The Costa Brava and Costa Dorada are two of the areas with the highest density of charging points in the Endesa network, driven by heavy tourist traffic and their proximity to the AP-7 motorway.

These are particularly convenient destinations for those travelling from France or central Spain who need to make frequent stops on the final leg of their journey.

Before reaching the coastal resorts, it is advisable to locate charging points on the approaches to Girona and Tarragona, as demand during peak season can be higher in the most tourist-heavy areas.

Costa del Sol and Costa de la Luz

In Andalusia, the network covers major urban centres like Málaga, Cádiz, and Huelva, as well as intermediate points on key routes like the A-7 and A-49 motorways.

These points are especially useful for those travelling from Madrid or Extremadura to the coast. In this region, it is best to plan your charging before entering highly touristy towns like Marbella, Estepona, or Conil, where summer traffic can delay access to the most central points.

Levante: Comunidad Valenciana and Murcia

The Levante area boasts solid coverage along the AP-7 and A-7 motorways, with charging points in the cities of Valencia, Alicante, and Murcia, as well as highly popular summer coastal towns like Benidorm, Gandía, and Cartagena.

This is one of the most widely travelled routes during the summer season and, consequently, one of the areas with the greatest presence of rapid charging points.

Galicia and the Cantabrian Coast

In Galicia and along the Cantabrian coast, charging points are distributed across large urban centres like A Coruña, Vigo, Santander, Bilbao, and San Sebastián, as well as coastal and rural areas where they may be more spaced out.

If your route includes minor roads or less populated destinations, we recommend checking the map in advance. Coverage may be sparser than on the main motorways.

Pyrenees: Aragón, Cataluña, and Navarra

The Pyrenees have a lower density of charging points than coastal areas, although coverage continues to grow at main access points and tourist hubs like Jaca, Huesca, La Seu d'Urgell, and Vielha.

If you are going hiking, mountaineering, or taking a break in less-travelled areas, it is best to charge fully before heading into areas with less coverage. In these destinations, distances between charging points can be greater.

Baleares and Canarias

In Islas Baleares and Islas Canarias, charging point availability varies from island to island. Generally speaking, the network is more developed in urban centres and major tourist areas, such as Palma, Ibiza, Las Palmas, and Santa Cruz de Tenerife.

If you are taking your vehicle on a ferry, it is worth confirming the specific coverage on your destination island before you leave, as it may be more limited than on the peninsula.

Tip: in all tourist areas, demand for charging points increases significantly in July and August. Arriving with battery to spare and having 2 or 3 alternative points identified at each destination helps you avoid unnecessary waits.

FAQs about Endesa charging points

Do I need an app or a card to charge at an Endesa charging point?

To start charging, you will normally need the Endesa On Your Way app or an RFID card or key fob linked to your account.

Before your first trip, we recommend downloading Endesa On Your Way and registering your payment method. This will help you avoid any unexpected issues mid-journey.

How much does it cost to charge a car at an Endesa charging point?

The price depends on the power output of the charging point, the charging type (slow, fast, or rapid), and your contracted tariff or plan.

As a general rule, rapid charging usually has a higher cost per kWh than slow charging, as it significantly reduces waiting times.

What types of chargers will I find on the Endesa network?

There are different types of charging points across the network:

• Slow or semi-fast charging, up to 22 kW: designed for long stops, for example at hotels or car parks.
• Rapid charging, 50 kW or more: ideal for stops en route, as it significantly reduces waiting time.
• Ultra-rapid charging, 150 kW or more depending on the location: available at certain strategic motorway locations and designed to minimise stop times on long journeys as much as possible.

The most common connector on modern electric vehicles is the CCS Combo 2, although some charging points also offer Type 2, also known as Mennekes, for slow charging.

How do I know if my car is compatible with Endesa charging points?

Compatibility depends on your vehicle's connector type and its maximum supported charging power.

Most electric passenger cars sold in Europe over the last few years are compatible with CCS connectors, but it is a good idea to check your model's technical specifications before travelling.

What should I do if I arrive at a charging point and it is occupied or out of order?

This is why it is important to always identify 2 or 3 alternative points in the area before starting each leg of your journey, especially in highly popular tourist destinations in July and August.

The map itself lets you check several nearby locations so you always have a plan B.

How long does it take to charge an electric car on average?

It depends on the vehicle model and the power of the charging point.

At a rapid charger, many vehicles can recover a significant portion of their range in around 20–40 minutes. At a slow charging point, the process can take several hours, so this is typically used for overnight stops or long stays.

A constantly growing network

The figure of over 7,100 charging points places Endesa among the leading charging infrastructure operators in Spain, with a presence in major cities, rural areas, coastal zones, and key summer destinations.

This network continues to expand in tandem with the growth of the electric vehicle fleet in the country, making travel easier for those who have already made the switch to electric mobility.
