Free charging points continue
One of the first advantages of betting on an electric car is the medium and long term savings which our pocket will enjoy. Either because of the fuel savings or because we won’t have to spend on maintenance, it has been shown that this type of car is more economically profitable.
On the other hand, given the new regulations that 149 Spanish cities already impose restrictions on movement of the most polluting vehicles throughout this year, electric cars are a great option.
All in all, and as far as sustainable mobility is concerned, what we know is that the direct impact of inflation has gone much deeper. For this reason, today many are looking more than ever for how to recharge their electric car for free. It is true if you do it at home you can adjust to the valley section at dawn, but that is not really the most valid solution In day to day.
Where can we go?
Because if; The fear of being left on a public road because the car ran out of battery charge is one of the main points that affects the purchase decision.
In its form, currently there are various options recharging to prevent the car from stopping anywhere, and in some areas we have it for free.
In shopping centers
It is the best known and easiest method to follow. Almost all the malls They already have charging points for electric cars. There are not many in each car park, but there are a few reserved by law for this type of vehicle.
We will recognize them because they usually have the floor painted in another color and because next to them are the recharging wallbox. Of course, you have to be careful because to do it for free you have to justify a purchase in it, as they do from Mercadona, El Corte Inglés or Carrefour, for example (in the parking lot itself it must appear information explaining the conditions of service).
Yes indeed; the difference with a paid one is that the power of these points it is usually quite poor compared to what you would find in the electric stations on the street and its time will be much higher.
Dealerships, restaurants and commercial chains
Many dealerships offer free charging service in their car parks for their customers. A method used by some of the large chains of restaurants which already have free chargers for vehicles electrical.
In the same way, a great variety of fast food chains such as McDonalds, Burger King, among others, offer this service in some of their restaurants. Commercial chains such as IKEA or Bricomart have joined the installation of charging points in their car parks, which are for their customers. These large chains even offer marketing strategies, in which they offer you discounts and purchase vouchers to recharge your electric car.
Airports and train stations
Also, and as something that is seen more and more, there are airports and train stations that have free charging stations for electric and hybrid cars. In Spain the following stand out;
Baraja’s airportMadrid: it has the Go Barajas service, where you can charge your vehicle at no cost by contracting any of the services they offer.
El Prat AirportBarcelona.
