220 volts is the only current available in most of Europe.

The rental company will give you the cables to charge the battery. All you need is to plug and charge the battery. Same as a mobile phone.

Does anyone know if albergues charge a fee for the charging?

Bicigrino will supply a handlebar bag which will contain the charger with the Spanish AC plug. No need for anything else to connect it to the mains. Not sure what an individual albergue would charge, if anything.

There was some discussion last year about battery charging at cafes along the route to ensure a rider didn't run out. Not sure there was any clarity with that either.

If used conservatively, the bike battery will last all day. I usually arrive at my destination with 75% charge remaining.

You may have seen this thread already. If not, please do your best to ignore the more negative comments and focus on the positive from the OP and others!

It appears from this and comments that I have heard elsewhere that some Albergues do not charge, whilst others will, or are at least thinking about doing so.

The clear suggestion from the OP and others is that it would be nice to at least offer a donation, which is very much in keeping with the spirit of the Camino.
