Madrid is at the forefront of electric mobility in Spain with a significant share in both 100% electric cars as in plug-in hybrids. According to data released by the regional government, the community has over 36% of electric vehicle registrations at the national level and clearly leads the market in plug-in hybrids (53%).
The information was made public during the inauguration of the new Installer Space of Iberdrola, located in the San AgustÃn del Guadalix Innovation and Training Campuswhere the role of technical training and charging infrastructure as levers to accelerate the transition to cleaner mobility was emphasized.
Madrid leads the way in electric vehicles and PHEVs
Concentrate more than a third of electric vehicles And with more than half of the PHEVs sold in Spain located in the Community of Madrid, it holds a leading position. This leadership, highlighted by the Ministry of the Environment, Agriculture and the Interior, points to an ecosystem that combines demand, services, and an expanding charging network.
The regional administration highlights measures to facilitate the use of electric vehicles, such as installation of charging points in homes and businesses, and the deployment of solutions for urban and intercity bus fleetsThese actions aim to reduce emissions and improve air quality without losing sight of transport efficiency.
In addition to promoting electrification, the regional government emphasizes the protection of environment and biodiversity as the cornerstones of their strategy, connecting low-emission mobility with public health and environmental conservation goals.
Training and employment: the new Installer Space
The center presented by Iberdrola is geared towards technical training of installers to meet the growing demand for charging infrastructure and sustainable energy solutions. Located in San AgustÃn del Guadalix, the campus integrates advanced technology and digital methodologies to qualify professionals in renewable energy, efficiency and electrification of transport.
The capacity of the Installation Space will allow it to accommodate around 1.000 people per year in person and facilitate the participation of up to 50.000 users through its digital platform. This strengthens the employability of young professionals and senior professionals in a sector with high potential.
Public-private collaboration aims to accelerate implementation of the recharge and consolidate a specialized business network. Along these lines, the center aspires to become a benchmark for instalation and maintenance of loading solutions, process standardization and technical safety.
Impact on low-emission mobility in Spain
By combining leadership in enrollments and strengthening the technical trainingMadrid is driving the development of a more mature market with better customer service. The availability of qualified installers and the expansion of the charging network are key to increasing the consumer confidence and reduce barriers to adoption.
These dynamics align with the national objectives of decarbonization and electrification in the transport sector, where support policies, incentives and technical standardization help sustain the growth of pure electric vehicles and PHEVs across the country.
National and European context
Madrid's progress is part of Spain's strategy to boost infrastructure development. Alternative fuels and align the market with European climate and energy goals. The expansion of public and private charging, along with fleet renewal, acts as a lever to accelerate the achievement of EU objectives.
In parallel, coordination between administrations, companies and training centers promotes green job creation and industrial modernization, an aspect that is gaining importance as electric mobility is integrated into the automotive and services value chain.
With over 36% of electric vehicles and the 53% of PHEVs of the country registered in its territory, in addition to a new training center for installers, Madrid strengthens its role as an engine of electric mobility in Spain, relying on infrastructure, talent and collaboration between sectors.
