In prep for the day when EVs might be available to hire on FV perhaps we ought to start compiling our own database of what charging points are available. I've very little knowledge of these, are they all the same/what should we note about them etc?
I'll start with 6 at Mercadona Corralejo, only available when the store is open as inside car park.
I believe there is one at Las Palmeras shopping centre car park in Corralejo.
I've heard there is one at one of the big hotels in Corralejo, not sure which, and presumably only available to guests?
99.9% certain there are none in Tindaya!

Good idea.
There's one in El Cuchillete industrial estate (near Gran Tarajal), in El Cardon laundry premises - close to Cofemax. Must be booked in advance. One in Ave Juan Bethencourt, 75 and another owned by El Cardon laundry at Arado Unit 3, in El Matorral in paint shop El Malecon. All 3 El Cardon charging points are free to use.
And I've seen a car charging, or at least standing next to a charging point in the Bus Station in Gran Tarajal.

Another issue with an increase in EV's is the electricity supply, will the island grid cope no doubt a huge increase in solar panels and wind turbines. In the UK to cope with the 2040 plan to manufacture / allow only new cars that are electric I had read that they would need 4 more nuclear power stations in addition to the ones already in the proposed and currently questionable due to finance.

I read an article middle of last year I think, but definitely in 2018, and at that point, there were only thirty electric cars on The Island, it will be a little while methinks before we have to start worrying about Grid overload
