ANFAC Says EV Purchase Aid Has Run Out in Nine Spanish Regions, Threatening Year-End Sales

Extremadura remains unable to open a €9 million MOVES III line because its decree has not been published.

Overview

  • The depleted regions include Andalucía, Aragón, Cantabria, Cataluña, Comunidad Valenciana, Galicia, Madrid, Navarra and País Vasco, which together account for about 85% of Spain’s car market.
  • The government added €400 million earlier this year, taking MOVES III to €1.735 billion, but regional administration and retroactive eligibility have drained allocations quickly.
  • Catalonia reports strong momentum with about 3,900 MOVES III applications in five days, a 2025–2030 plan to mobilize over €1.4 billion and 11,026 public chargers, roughly 23.4% of Spain’s total.
  • Through August, BEV and PHEV registrations reached 138,256, up 98% year over year, lifting electrified cars to roughly 18% of new passenger-car sales.
  • Industry groups urge faster reallocation and simpler procedures, noting that heavy vehicles have had no national purchase aid since MOVES Pesados ended 17 months ago.
