In the last decade, the electric vehicle has gone from being a minority alternative to becoming a central player in the transformation of mobility. Sustainability policies, technological evolution and changing consumer expectations have driven this change, accelerating the growth of a sector that is redefining the way we move, produce and consume energy.
Evolution of electric vehicle sales in Spain
| 2022 | The market share of EVs was barely more than 5%. |
| 2023 | Approximately 8,5%The new car market, boosted by incentives such as the Moves Plan and a wider choice of models. |
| 2024 | Growth continued, standing at around 11% of total enrolments. |
| April 2025 | Market share already is close to 14.2%This represents a significant leap in just three years. |
A maturing market
What began as a risky bet for a few manufacturers has now become a priority strategy for the main automotive brands. The number of electric models available has grown exponentially, offering solutions for all segments: from urban cars to commercial and industrial vehicles. This diversity has been key to achieving new market shares and democratising access to electric mobility.
One of the most notable advances has been the improvement in battery range. According to recent data, many electric vehicles now exceed 500 or even 600 kilometres of real range, eliminating one of the most important historical barriers for the user: anxiety about recharging.
Sustainability and innovation as drivers of change
Environmental pressure and European regulations are accelerating the electrification of the car fleet. Regulations such as the European Green Deal 2019 or the Law on Climate Change and Energy Transition (7/2021) in Spain set clear emission reduction targets and a progressive ban on internal combustion vehicles. In addition, incentive programmes such as the MOVES III Plan (currently in force until December 2025) reinforce the purchase of electric vehicles and the installation of charging infrastructures.
In addition to this institutional drive, there is greater public awareness of sustainability, energy saving and the need to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. The electric vehicle is thus positioned as a viable, efficient and environmentally friendly solution.
Drivers of growth in V.E. registrations
- Greater variety of models available, including more affordable options.
- Improving freight infrastructure, especially in urban areas.
- Government incentives, such as the Moves III Plan, which is still in force.
- Growing environmental awareness among consumers.
The challenge of recharging: key to deployment
Although the evolution of the vehicle has been remarkable, its mass deployment requires an accessible, intelligent and reliable recharging network. It is not enough to offer cars with greater autonomy if there are no adequate infrastructures to accompany this transformation. Home charging, in community spaces, workplaces, hotels or public car parks, must be part of a coordinated strategy to facilitate a frictionless transition.
In this context, innovation in recharging systems in alternating current (AC) has become a strategic element, especially in installations linked to the private, semi-public or residential sphere.
ORBIS VIARIS AC chargers: intelligent solutions for efficient recharging
ORBIS, as a benchmark in technological solutions for energy efficiency, has developed a complete range of AC chargers under the brand name of VIARISadapted to the real needs of the new electrical user. These chargers are designed to offer:
- Versatility of power ratings: from 7.4 kW to 22 kW, both single-phase and three-phase.
- Advanced energy management: intelligent modulation to optimise the available power without the need to extend the electricity contract, and automatic selection of three-phase to single-phase charging mode as long as there is insufficient power available, so that the EV never stops charging.
- Total connectivity: with access via Wi-Fi, Ethernet, 4G or RS-485, and control via the e-VIARIS app o cloud platforms.
- Secure access control: activation via RFID, app or web platform, ideal for shared or fleet installations.
- Robust and elegant design: ready for indoor or outdoor installation, with high IP protection and top quality materials.
- Solar photovoltaic integration: the only system on the market with 3 operating modes SOLAR, HYBRID or ORBIS MODE and SOLAR / NETWORK.
Models such as VIARIS UNI, VIARIS UNI +, VIARIS ISI, VIARIS EXO, VIARIS COMBI + y VIARIS CITY + These allow for individual installations in homes, collective car parks, workplaces or commercial spaces with multiple charging points.
The ORBIS AC offer allows users and installers to have a scalable, efficient system ready to grow with market demand.
The future is electric and it starts at every installed recharging point.
Electric mobility is not a passing fad, but a key part of the global sustainability strategy. The evolution of the electric vehicle has been rapid and forceful, and can only be completed with a charging infrastructure to match. At ORBISWe are committed to this comprehensive vision, offering AC charging solutions that accompany the user at every stage of the change, with accessible, safe and connected technology.
