Madrid installing EV recharging points at all public parking facilities
Madrid City Hall, Spain, has decided to go big for electric cars and install EV recharging points at all public parking facilities in the city. This means that the city's 36 parking installations will have up to 58 recharging points where EVs can be charged for free. What's more, City Hall has announced that all new parking lots will include these charging stations and the system will also be brought to municipal facilities that are used by residents. This isn't the last EV step for Madrid: City Hall said there is a soon-to-be-signed agreement with the Spanish Ministry of Industry to promote the use of electric cars even further. Details when they're available.

EV points are much cheaper to install than H2 stations.

Ahh, they must have a bustling night market to enable EV charging in public lots. Normally, people charge their electric cars at HOME at NIGHT, to lessen PEAK LOAD on the grid. Or is Spain's cycle the opposite of ours, since they are in the hemisphere?
