The energy and transport ministry is to present a project for electric vehicle charging points to be paid for with tourist tax revenue. The aim, according to President Armengol, is for the whole of the Balearics to be covered with charging points when the transition to renewable energies takes place.

For this to make any sense at all, Mallorca needs to produce this power via solar and wind energy. Given there's precious little evidence of that, the electric power moving the buses will have beeb produced by burning fossil fuels.
I thought Mallorca didn't want any more tourists .
