Thread: Electric vehicle charging in Spain

In the UK most electric vehicle chargepoints are operated by CYC and you just need to register in advance and then use a RFID card or smartphone app to use any machine.  France has a similar system called KiWHi.  Is there a Spanish equivalent?  I can see from maps that there are plently of change points around the country, but can't find any information on how to access and use them.

Well, this is a lively debate! :)

Given the thread is really meant to be about ex-pat impacts, can I change the subject slightly?  

GIBRALTAR!  Lots of stuff being heavily reported in the UK media about Spain having a veto on Brexit and renewing their claim of Gibraltar sovereignty.  One nutter MP even likening it to The Falklands War and Argentina.  My understanding is that ALL Spain has said is that they should have some say in the settlement as it affects Gibraltar and their common border.  This seems quite reasonable to me and is no different from the situation in Ireland where it is agreed that any settlement has to be in line with the Good Friday agreement, whick means the Irish republic has a say.  The uproar I think shoudl not be about Spain raising the matter but abut Teresa May NOT raising it.

Discuss.... ;)

That once in a generation thing is the most ludicrous argument I've ever heard.  You're saying that because there was a vote once, the same generation can never change their minds, can never vote again?  Extent that argument to other votes then...  I voted in a general election once - Why do I have to keep voting every 5 years?

If that's the best argument unionists can come up with, there's really no hope for the union.  Circumstances have changed.  That's why another vote is needed.  As Keynes (alegedly) said, "When circumstances change I change my mind.  What do you do sir?"

tteedd - Yes there was 1975 too.  But I was replying to comments specifically about Scottish referenda, how many there have been and the outcomes.

Tadd1966 - 18 months to 2 years because (a) It takes time to organise one and (b) by that time we'd know the shape of Brexit and know the choices.  As TM says, "Now is not the time"
