Basque Government Adds €2 Million to Clean-Car Grants, Requests More Moves III Funding

Madrid has yet to decide on Euskadi’s request for additional Moves III resources.

Overview

  • The Basque Government approved an extra €2 million for its Plan Renove after the initial funds were exhausted by strong demand.
  • Euskadi formally asked the Ministry for the Ecological Transition to increase its Moves III allocation for electric-vehicle purchases.
  • Regional officials say the national Moves III funds assigned to the Basque Country have already been used up.
  • The top-up targets the replacement of older vehicles with lower-emission and electric models, with the local fleet averaging 14.9 years of age.
  • Rising uptake of electrified and low-CO2 cars is pressuring limited regional and national budgets, and the continuity of incentives now depends on the central government’s response.
