Cargalicante fits home charging points across Santa Pola: in the old fishing quarter, behind the beaches and in the townhouses of Gran Alacant. Everything we mount here is chosen for a town that lives between the sea and the salt pans, and everything is explained to you in English.

01Baix Vinalopó · Costa Blanca
Very few towns test an outdoor electrical installation the way a working fishing port ringed by salt pans does — so here the components come before the catalogue.
Santa Pola is not a resort that grew a harbour; it is a harbour that grew a resort. The quay holds one of the largest fishing fleets on the Spanish Mediterranean, the lonja runs its auction every working day, and the boats that cross to the island of Tabarca leave from the same water. Live in a place like this and salt-laden air is simply part of the weather report — and anything bolted to an outside wall or sitting in a through-draught garage will find that out within its first summer.
Behind the town the picture doubles. The Santa Pola salt flats are a natural park of shallow pans, flamingos and white mountains of harvested salt, which means the salt here does not only arrive on the sea breeze. The technical answer is unglamorous and it matters: an enclosure with a serious ingress rating, marine-grade gaskets, glands and fixings, and a mounting position deliberately chosen out of the most exposed air rather than wherever the cable happens to end.
The second half of Santa Pola is the holiday half. This has always been the beach of Elche and of Alicante, and for decades the August address of a great many Madrid families too; the register stands at 39,709 residents (INE 2025) and the real summer figure is a multiple of that. If you are here for part of the year rather than all of it, we fit connected chargers: you can look in on the unit from another country, and set the car to fill up on the cheap night hours the moment you arrive.
Gran Alacant deserves its own paragraph. The big hillside urbanisation next to the airport is street after street of townhouses with their own parking, and a genuinely international address book — British, Dutch, Belgian, Scandinavian, Spanish. It is also the best solar case in the municipality: a semi-arid climate and roughly 3,000 hours of sun a year mean a well-oriented roof can push most of a car's yearly mileage into the battery for nothing, provided the charger knows how to follow the surplus.
The administration is straightforward once someone does it for you. The local distribution network is i-DE, part of the Iberdrola group, and everything is wired to the Spanish wiring regulations (REBT) and to instruction ITC-BT-52. You end up with a certified charger, an electrical installation certificate (boletín/CIE) in your name, and the installation logged with the industry department of the Generalitat Valenciana. If your space sits in a communal garage, Article 17.5 of the Horizontal Property Act lets you proceed on written notice alone — there is no vote to win.
We are English-speaking EV charger installers in Alicante covering the whole province; the main page sets out the full service, the paperwork and every other area we work in.
Enclosures, seals and fixings picked to live with salt from both the sea and the pans behind the town.
Connected units for second homes: watch and schedule every charge from your phone, wherever you happen to be.
Around 3,000 hours of sun a year, so a townhouse roof can charge the car on surplus much of the year.
The electrical certificate goes to you and the installation goes onto the register held by Industria of the Generalitat Valenciana. i-DE is the network operator in this municipality.
02Guide prices
Most of the money is the run: metres of cable, trunking and protection between the board and the bay. That is why a Gran Alacant townhouse with parking hard against the house wall usually lands at the friendly end, while a space three floors under a seafront block does not. Take the brackets below as honest ranges, and let the closed number come out of a visit.

03Typical jobs
What actually happens in Santa Pola, whether this is the address you live at all year or the house you open in June.
Whereabouts you are — the old quarter, behind the beaches, or up in Gran Alacant — what you drive, and whether the house is open all year or only in stretches. Three answers, and the power rating and the unit more or less choose themselves.
We follow the cable from board to bay on foot, look at the condition of the consumer unit and judge how exposed the mounting position is before any figure is quoted. Standing in front of the job is what stops a price being padded against surprises.
A dedicated line, its own protective devices and a certified charger mounted with marine-grade hardware, sited in the most sheltered position the building offers rather than the most convenient one.
The electrical installation certificate (CIE) comes to you, the installation goes onto the Industria register at the Generalitat Valenciana, and the invoice is itemised well enough to survive a tax claim if you are entitled to one.
Is your space in a shared garage? The law is on your side: written notice is enough — no AGM, no vote.
04Certified equipment
In Santa Pola we ask two things of a charger: that the box and the electronics inside it cope with a salt-laden atmosphere, and that the whole thing answers to a phone, because a good share of our customers here spend half the year in another country. The V2C Trydan adds solar surplus mode on top, which is exactly what a Gran Alacant townhouse with panels wants.
V2C is a Valencian manufacturer: the Trydan ships with its own app, dynamic load management and solar surplus mode built in, and spares or support sit in the same region. Our default choice for homes.
The Pulsar fits on any wall, is run entirely from your phone and has years of installations across Europe behind it. It sits as comfortably in a townhouse as in a basement parking space.
When the job calls for three-phase, access control or charging for several cars, we turn to the rest of the certified manufacturers. The recommendation comes from your installation, not from a commission. See the equipment.
Every brand we carry, with its rating and its connector, is listed on the main page: browse the equipment we install and we will pair one with your car and your wall.
05The Santa Pola angle
Between the fleet, the auction hall and the white ridges of the natural park, salt is a constant presence in this municipality. For an outdoor electrical installation that translates into small decisions with long consequences: a better-sealed enclosure, a properly tightened gland, stainless fixings, a position that keeps the worst of the onshore air off the unit. Get those right and the charger is simply there, year after year; get them wrong and the second summer starts producing faults.
The calendar matters just as much. Many of the properties we work in here are second homes — the beach house for Elche, Alicante or Madrid, or the Gran Alacant townhouse of a family whose main address is somewhere north of the Pyrenees. With the airport practically on the doorstep, that pattern is routine here rather than exotic. So we leave every unit paired to its app: you can confirm from home that nothing has tripped, and the car is charged and waiting on the first morning of the holiday instead of the second.
Solar is the other conversation Gran Alacant always ends up having. With a semi-arid climate and roughly 3,000 hours of sun a year, pairing panels with a charger that follows the surplus turns the driveway into the cheapest filling station you will ever use. No panels yet? The installation is still sized to accept them, so the day they go up nothing has to be undone.
On state money we prefer precision to encouragement. MOVES III shut on 31 December 2025 and the Valencian Community offers no regional deduction for a charger. That leaves the Spanish state income-tax deduction of 15 % on a base capped at 4,000 €, so 600 € at most, for work completed before 31 December 2026 and settled by traceable means. A beach house qualifies as readily as a permanent address, because habitual residence is not one of the conditions. Tax residence is. The claim goes into the Spanish resident income-tax return (IRPF), which means only Spanish tax residents reach it; anyone filing the annual non-resident tax has nothing comparable, and the EU/EEA route into resident-style taxation closed to UK residents with Brexit. We will tell you where you stand on that before the saving goes into your sums.

06Coverage
From the fishing quay to the last row of townhouses in Gran Alacant, we cover the whole municipality and its beaches.
Houses and garages in the old maritime quarter, minutes from the auction hall and from the quay where the Tabarca crossing departs — the island itself belongs to the city of Alicante. Salt protection is not optional down here.
The large urbanisation on the northern edge of the municipality: private parking, panels on the roof and connected units for residents from across Europe who supervise charging from abroad.
Apartment blocks along the front, where the parking space sits in a communal garage and the job goes ahead on written notice under Article 17.5.
Charging points for hotels, restaurants and shops that would rather a guest's car filled up over lunch or overnight than sat there doing nothing.
We cover every corner of the province of Alicante. Other towns with a page of their own: Elche · Torrevieja · Orihuela · Benidorm · Alcoy · San Vicente del Raspeig · Elda · Dénia · Villajoyosa.
It can, if a unit is thrown on a wall without thought — the salt here comes twice over, off the sea and off the pans behind the town. We use certified chargers with a serious ingress rating, pay attention to seals, glands and marine-grade fixings, and choose the most sheltered position the building allows. Specified and sited properly, a charger lasts here as well as anywhere on the coast.
No. That deduction, 15 % on a base capped at 4,000 €, belongs to the Spanish resident income-tax return (IRPF), so it reaches Spanish tax residents and nobody else. Own the property as a non-resident, filing the annual non-resident tax, and no comparable relief exists for a charging point; the EU/EEA route into resident-style taxation has been closed to UK residents since Brexit. Ask your gestor where you stand before the saving goes into your budget.
It is one of our most common jobs in Santa Pola. The unit stays linked to its app, so you can see from home that everything is in order, and once you arrive you schedule charging on the cheap night hours and start each day with a full battery instead of hunting for a public post. Note the deadline too: the Spanish deduction requires the work to be finished before 31 December 2026, so earlier is better if you are eligible.
Gran Alacant is one of the easier cases: the parking is usually right beside the house, so the cable run is short and the work stays contained. If you have solar panels, or plan to, a charger with surplus management such as the V2C Trydan makes the most of the light this corner of the coast gets. The app then lets you keep an eye on it from wherever you spend the rest of the year.
They do not. Article 17.5 of the Horizontal Property Act settles it: written notice to the community, and that is the whole requirement — nothing goes to the AGM for a show of hands. It is the standard situation in the blocks near Gran Playa and Playa Lisa. The line we run is yours alone, from your meter to your bay, so the charging appears on your bill and on no one else's.
i-DE, the distribution company in the Iberdrola group, covers this part of the province. Whatever has to be settled at their end travels with the rest of the file, so you are never the one on the phone to a Spanish utility, arguing in a language you would rather not argue in.
A house or townhouse with its own garage is a single working day, as a rule. A communal garage stretches out, because the run is longer and the notice to the community goes out first. The date you get from us is one we can keep, and it comes after the visit, never before it.
Yes, and in Santa Pola it makes obvious sense with a semi-arid climate and around 3,000 hours of sun a year. A surplus-aware unit reads what the house is not using and pushes it into the battery on its own; there is nothing for you to switch. In the Gran Alacant townhouses it is the combination we recommend most often.
Yes to both. Survey, quote and paperwork all happen in English, and plenty of people write to us the week the car is ordered. The connector is a non-issue: everything we fit is Type 2, which is what new electric cars sold in Spain use, so the make you chose does not change the installation. We look at the property, put a figure in front of you, and the car is charging at home the night it arrives.
