Electric car charger installation, start to finish
Charging at home is the easiest way to live with an electric car on the Costa del Sol. Instead of relying on public chargers, you plug in when you park and wake up to a full battery. Our job is to make getting there simple.
Every EV charging installation in Marbella starts the same way: we look at where you park, where your electrical panel is and what supply you have. Often that can be done from a few photos on WhatsApp, and we'll visit if the installation needs it.

Choosing the right charger
Most homes in Spain have a single-phase supply, which suits a 7.4 kW wall charger — enough to fully charge most electric cars overnight. Properties with a three-phase supply can take faster 11 kW or 22 kW chargers where the car supports it.
Your contracted power (potencia contratada) matters too. Many Spanish homes contract between 3.45 kW and 5.75 kW, so a smart charger with dynamic load balancing is often the best choice: it slows charging when the air conditioning, oven or pool pump is running, so the main switch never trips.
A smart charger also lets you schedule charging for the cheapest hours. On the standard 2.0TD tariff, the off-peak period runs from midnight to 8am on weekdays and all day at weekends and on national holidays.

What affects the cost of installation
We don't publish a single fixed price, because no two installations are the same. A charger mounted on the garage wall next to the panel is a very different job from a cable run across a villa garden or through a communal car park.
- Distance and route from your electrical panel to the parking space
- Whether the cable passes through a communal garage or outdoor ground
- Your current supply and contracted power
- The charger model and whether you need load balancing
- Any upgrades needed to the existing installation
Regulations and paperwork in Spain
EV charging circuits in Spain are covered by ITC-BT-52, part of the low-voltage electrical regulations (REBT). It sets out how charging points must be wired and protected in homes, communal garages and car parks.
We'll explain what applies to your installation — including any certificate needed and, for apartments, notifying your community of owners — so there are no surprises later.
