Incentives from the Moves 3 Plan: Support for Electric Mobility

Updated on April 1, 2025: The Moves III Plan is retroactively extended until December 31, 2025. Applicable to purchases made from January 1, 2025.

The Moves III Plan emerges as an unprecedented opportunity for those looking to join the future of sustainable mobility. Backed by the Government of Spain, this aid program aims to facilitate the transition to electric and hybrid vehicles, as well as promote the expansion of charging points throughout the country. With a generous budget allocation, the Moves III Plan promises to transform the automotive and energy landscape of Spain.

What is the Moves 3 Plan?

The MOVES III Plan was implemented in Spain in April 2021 with the main purpose of increasing the presence of electric vehicles in our country. In 2024, this presence barely reaches 5% of the market, which is considerably far from the figures observed in the leading countries of our continent.

The Moves 3 Plan has an initial budget of 400 million euros, which can be increased to 800 million. It is crucial to highlight that the aid requested by communities of neighbors, individuals, and self-employed workers is retroactive from April 9, 2021.

Aid for the Purchase of Electric Vehicles

The aid from the Moves III Plan is generous and varied, designed to adapt to different needs and user profiles. For those opting to purchase electric vehicles, subsidies can reach up to 7,000 euros, with the possibility of an increase if an old vehicle is scrapped. This incentive also extends to electric vans and motorcycles, providing support to both individuals and small and large companies.

What is the subsidizable amount for the purchase of an electric car?

The Moves III Plan offers a wide range of financial incentives for the acquisition of electric vehicles (EVs) and electric vans, as well as for the purchase of electric motorcycles.

Aid of up to €9,000 for the purchase of an electric car

Beneficiaries can receive up to 7,000 euros for an EV, 9,000 euros for an electric van and 1,300 euros for an electric motorcycle when scrapping an old vehicle, with amounts reduced to 4,500 euros, 7,000 euros, and 1,100 euros respectively if no such delivery is made.

Additionally, small businesses can obtain up to 4,000 euros for each EV scrapped, while large companies can receive up to 3,000 euros, with reductions to 2,900 euros and 2,200 euros respectively if no old vehicle is delivered.

It is important to note that these benefits are subject to minimum requirements, such as a minimum range of 30 km and a maximum price of 45,000 euros (or 53,000 euros for vehicles with eight or more seats) if the purchase was made after April 9, 2021.

Incentives for the Installation of Electric Vehicle Chargers

The push towards a robust and accessible charging network is fundamental in the Moves III Plan. This investment not only facilitates the transition to electric mobility but also significantly contributes to the reduction of CO2 emissions, a crucial commitment to combat climate change.

Who can benefit from the aids for the purchase of electric vehicles and charging points?

Individuals:

According to the provisions of the Moves 3 Plan call for proposals, charging points can be used privately in the residential sector, allowing their installation in both community garages and single-family homes. It is important to highlight that communities of neighbors can also benefit by subsidizing the electrical pre-installation.

Companies:

Private companies and other forms of legal entities, such as hotels, shopping centers, restaurants, or parking lots, among others, have the possibility to apply for aid for the installation of charging points for public use.

Local entities:

Local Entities and Public Entities linked to or dependent on them can install chargers to supply charging to their fleet of vehicles or to provide service to their employees or customers. These entities can also benefit from the Moves Plan to promote electric charging infrastructure in their communities.

This inclusive approach of the Moves Plan seeks to encourage the adoption of electric vehicles and the expansion of charging infrastructure, both in the residential and business and public sectors. Individuals, companies, and local entities can obtain aid for the purchase of electric cars, further expanding the reach and benefits of the Moves Plan in promoting electric mobility.
