How much does an electrician cost in Spain? 2026 prices in Seville, Spain
How much an electrician costs in Spain depends on the job, but it should never be a surprise. Here are our 2026 guide prices in Seville for every speciality, all plus 21 % VAT, and the rule we always follow: a fixed written quote before we start.
How much does an electrician cost in Spain? How to read these prices
In Seville hardly any electrician publishes prices, yet it is the first thing people want to know, especially if you are new to Spain and have no idea what is normal. This page gathers, speciality by speciality, our 2026 guide prices for the most common jobs, based on market references for Seville and the rest of Spain. Before you look at the tables, keep four things in mind:
- They are guide prices, plus 21 % VAT (IVA). British readers usually expect VAT to be included: here it is not. To get the total, multiply by 1.21. Your final price depends on distance, access, the state of the installation and the materials you choose.
- “From” means the simplest case, and a range shows the usual spread between an easy job and a complicated one.
- Unless stated otherwise, they include labour and basic installation materials (cable, conduit, boxes, protection devices). Equipment you choose, such as the charger, the light fitting or the blind motor, is shown separately.
- The final price is always fixed and agreed in advance. Before we start, you get a written quote with what we will do and what it costs. If we find something different once we open up, we tell you and do not continue without your go-ahead.

The 15 % income tax deduction for an EV charger in 2026
If you install an EV charger in 2026, the Spanish tax office (Hacienda) gives part of it back. The 15 % deduction in personal income tax (IRPF) for charging installations has been extended until 31 December 2026 by Royal Decree-law 7/2026. These are the conditions:
- 15 % of what you pay for the installation: equipment, materials, labour, any necessary building work and the boletín.
- Maximum base of 4,000 euros per year, so the maximum saving is 600 euros. Any grant you received is subtracted before calculating the 15 %.
- The installation must be finished before 31 December 2026. It is deducted in the tax return for the year it is completed (an installation finished in 2026 goes in the return you file in 2027).
- In a property you own (main home, second home or garage space) that is not used for a business activity.
- Payment by bank transfer, card or deposit, never in cash.
- Registered installer: in your return you will need to state the cost, the completion date and the tax number (NIF) of the installation company. Keep the detailed invoice, the boletín and proof of payment, because Hacienda can check it for four years.
An example: if your charger in a garage space costs 1,400 euros, you deduct 210 euros; if a larger installation costs 4,000 euros or more, the maximum you deduct is 600 euros. Remember that MOVES III closed applications on 31 December 2025 and that the 2026 Auto+ programme subsidises cars, not chargers.
