Spain's EV-Centric Auto Plan Faces Pushback From Oil and Transport Sectors

ANFAC projects €120 billion in sector value by 2035 under a strategy backed by €1.3 billion in 2026 funding.

Overview

  • The Plan España Auto 2030 prioritizes electric vehicles through purchase incentives, accelerated charging deployment and a push for local battery manufacturing.
  • The Government detailed nearly €1.3 billion for 2026, including €580 million for the PERTE VEC program and €400 million for the centrally managed Auto+ purchase aid scheme.
  • ANFAC outlines €35–40 billion in public‑private investment by 2030, targets production of 2.7 million vehicles with 95% electrified by 2035 and aims to maintain about 1.9 million jobs.
  • The industry warns that failing to act could cut the sector’s gross value to €78 billion and stresses the plan is a living roadmap open to revision.
  • A coalition of ten oil, fuel retail, biofuel and road‑transport groups demands technological neutrality and recognition of renewable fuels, with CEEES questioning an implied 983% jump from roughly 225,000 electrified registrations in 2025 to 1.3 million in 2035 and the absence of interim milestones.
