Funding of electromobility in Spain
In 2019, an important programme was launched. It is called MOVES. This stands for Spanish Alternative Mobility Program. The programme contains a budget of 45 million Euro. Its mission: Promote electric vehicles and charging infrastructure in Spain. This federal approach was replaced by the Moves II and Renove programmes. It’s not so easy to keep track of everything here. We help summarising and clearing up the picture!

Moves II or Renove – not easy to decide
The two support programmes Moves II and Renove are very sophisticated and thus precisely tailored to each situation. But it is precisely this attention to detail that makes it difficult to see through. We explain both programmes briefly and concisely. By the way: The access authorisations are explained in detail in this graphic.

Charging incentives
Up to a total of 100.000 Euro, individuals and businesses can receive grants up to 30-40 % of the acquisition and installation costs under Moves II. These grants are administered by each autonomous community. You can find the application link for your region on the idea.es website.
Tax benefits
Registration tax savings: Electric vehicles do not pay registration tax.
Ownership tax benefits: A car tax exemption or reduction is available in some regions. These include, for example, Madrid, Barcelona, Zaragoza and Valencia. Here, the vehicle tax for electric vehicles is reduced by up to 75 %.
Other subsidies
Electric vehicles do not pay tolls in Spain, plus they can park for free in many cities. Some cities also have special roads for heavy traffic – these can also be used by electric cars.
