Spain Tops Up Moves III by €400 Million as Auto+ EV Rebates Begin January 1

Industry and unions welcome the plan, pressing for swift rules to turn its 25 measures into action.

Overview

  • The government has assigned roughly €400 million more to the Moves III scheme to address an estimated 40,000 pending applications, according to MITECO/IDAE sources.
  • Plan Auto 2030 sets out three new 2026 aid lines totaling €1.28 billion, including €400 million for the new Auto+ purchase program and €300 million for high‑power charging corridors.
  • Minister Jordi Hereu said Auto+ will deliver point‑of‑sale subsidies nationwide via dealerships from January 1 and will not cover the Moves III waiting list or personal charger installations.
  • ANFAC, Faconauto and Sernauto hailed the strategy as a major opportunity for Spain’s electric and connected vehicle leadership, calling for rapid execution.
  • CCOO and UGT FICA backed the framework while urging stronger socio‑labour safeguards, and several organizations warned the plan needs BOE‑backed regulations to avoid stalling.
