Charge your electric car in Las Palmas
Las Palmas de Gran Canaria is an ideal city for the electric car: short distances, a stable climate all year round and a strong island push for electric mobility, plus a large fleet of rental vehicles. In Vegueta, Triana, Ciudad Jardín or around Las Canteras, slow and destination charging in car parks and on-street is the norm; on the GC-1 towards the south, the airport and Maspalomas, and the GC-2 towards the north, you find the fast points you need to travel the island. The problem is that this network is spread across operators, each with its own app and card. Cargea brings it together on a single map with real-time availability: filter by connector and power, see the price before you plug in, and start and pay for charging from your phone. Whether you live in the city or arrive on holiday with an electric rental car, you charge with the same app across the whole of Gran Canaria without relying on local cards.
