La Lajita to Get Electric Car Charging Stations from the Cabildo
“In this way we create electric‑mobility infrastructure, mobilising and expanding the island network.”
The Industry Department of the Cabildo of Fuerteventura has inaugurated a new fast‑charging point (50 kW) in Pájara, specifically in the locality of La Lajita. The installation, costing €38,500.40, joins the island’s public charging network.
Current electric‑mobility infrastructure on Fuerteventura
- 17 operational charging points across the north‑center and south of the island.
- 6 fast‑charging stations (50 kW) located in Corralejo, Puerto del Rosario, Gran Tarajal, Betancuria, Morro Jable and La Lajita.
- 2 medium‑power stations (10 kW) in Caleta de Fuste and Costa Calma.
- 9 mid‑range stations (22 kW) in Corralejo, Lajares, La Oliva, Puerto del Rosario, Pájara and Betancuria.
Official statements
“This project marks a clear advancement and demonstrates the commitment of our island institution to the energy transition, modernising and expanding a network that contributes to cleaner and more efficient mobility,” said Lola García, President of Fuerteventura.
“The activation of this charger is another step towards consolidating a modern, accessible and territorially distributed public charging network that facilitates electric‑vehicle use in all municipalities,” explained Lolina Negrín, Island Counselor for Industry.
“Electrifying transport is a real alternative to fossil fuels and a key element for achieving Fuerteventura’s decarbonisation and sustainability goals. Our department continues to promote infrastructures that enable more efficient mobility, reduce environmental impact and help preserve the natural environment.”
Future rollout
The Cabildo plans to continue work in the coming weeks to activate the remaining stations and complete the public network. Pending installations include:
- Three 50 kW chargers in Antigua, Tuineje and Pájara.
- Five 22 kW chargers in Gran Tarajal, Antigua and Puerto del Rosario.
