Catalonia has set a new milestone in sustainable mobility: more than 100,000 electric vehicles registered by 2024, according to recent data from the Government. This figure not only reflects a change of mentality among users, but also a transformation that impacts the way we charge our vehicles.

The momentum of the illa plan

One of the key factors in this growth has been the Illa Plan, an institutional strategy to promote electrification in the transportation sector. This plan not only seeks to reduce emissions, but also to expand public and private charging infrastructure.

The increase in the number of electric cars is necessarily accompanied by a greater need for accessible, efficient and well-distributed charging points.

Why does this affect you even if you don’t have an electric car yet?

The growth in the electric vehicle fleet has a direct effect on:

  • demand for chargers in single-family homes and community parking lots
  • pressure on public charging points, which are already showing signs of saturation
  • the urgency of adapting company infrastructures for sustainable fleets and employees

This context makes the installation of a private recharging point a strategic decision for both the present and the future.

Benefits of installing your own recharge point

  • Convenience: charge your vehicle from home or work without relying on third parties.
  • Savings: take advantage of night rates or solar surplus if you have solar panels.
  • Revaluation: a plaza with a loading point gains value in the real estate market.
  • Energy independence: you avoid queues and waiting in public stations.

The record number of electric cars in Catalonia is not only positive news for the environment. It is also a call to prepare for a change that is already underway. If you are thinking of installing a charging point, this is the best time to do it.
