One by one

The grants and how to apply

Auto+ Programme

Open

The national grant that replaces MOVES III. It's given by the Ministry of Industry on a first-come, first-served basis. Maximum per car: 4.500 € for individuals, 6.000 € for self-employed and micro-enterprises and 4.500 € for other companies.

How it's calculated (added up)

  • 50% of the maximum if it's electric; 25% if it's plug-in or extended-range.
  • 25% if it costs up to €35,000 before VAT; 15% from €35,000 to €45,000. Anything pricier gets nothing.
  • 15% if it's assembled in the EU and a further 10% if the battery is assembled in the EU (Ministry's White List).

Requirements

  • ZERO sticker: electric, or plug-in with 40 km or more of range.
  • New and registered in Spain from 1 January 2026 (or a demo or zero-km car registered from 2025, with an invoice dated within the last 12 months).
  • A dealership discount of at least €1,000 (before VAT) on the invoice, labelled Auto+. Not required if you bought before 4 August.
  • One car per person; you must keep it in your name for 2 years.
  • Can be combined with other grants up to 80% of the price.

Examples for individuals

  • Electric, up to €35,000, assembled in Europe with a European battery4.500 €
  • Electric, up to €35,000, assembled in Europe4.050 €
  • Electric, up to €35,000, made outside Europe3.375 €
  • Electric, €35,000 to €45,000, made outside Europe2.925 €
  • Plug-in, up to €35,000, assembled in Europe with a European battery3.375 €
  • Plug-in, up to €35,000, made outside Europe2.250 €

How to apply

  1. On the Ministry of Industry's grants website, with an electronic signature. Normally the dealership does it on your behalf.
  2. You need the final technical data sheet and registration document (permiso de circulación), the invoice showing the discount, proof of payment and a certificate for your bank account.
  3. Your grant is reserved when you submit it. After the decision, it's paid into your account by bank transfer: it's not a discount at the dealership.

Watch the budget: the individuals' line has 350 million and is handed out first come, first served. In mid-September the press reported about half of it as already committed; the Ministry doesn't publish the balance. If it runs out, you go on a waiting list with no guarantee.

15% IRPF deduction for the car

In force

You deduct 15% of what you pay for the car minus grants on your tax return, on a maximum base of 20.000 €: up to 3.000 €. Individuals only, for new cars costing up to €45,000 before VAT bought until 31/12/2026.

  • First registration in Spain in your name, and the model in the IDAE vehicle database.
  • It also counts if in 2026 you pay at least 25% upfront and register it within the following two years.
  • It's subtracted from your national IRPF: if you pay less, you can only deduct up to that amount.
  • How to claim: on your 2026 tax return, between April and June 2027.

The home charger

In force

15% deduction on your tax return for what you pay for the charger and its installation, on a maximum base of 4.000 € (up to 600 €). The installation must be finished before 31/12/2026 and be at a home or parking space you own; in shared garages it counts if you're a co-owner.

None in 2026Direct grant: there's no national scheme in 2026. MOVES III gave one until 2025 and Auto+ doesn't cover chargers.

If you're self-employed or a company

Open
  • Auto+ line 2: up to 6.000 € for a car and 7.500 € for a van if you're self-employed or a micro-enterprise; 4.500 € for other companies. Also valid with a renting or leasing contract of 3 years or more.
  • Period: from 01/10/2026 to 31/12/2026, with 50 million (8 for self-employed).
  • You don't get the 15% IRPF deduction, but in 2026 you can write off the car and charger in one go (libertad de amortización, free depreciation).

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Is MOVES III still running in 2026?+

No. MOVES III ended on 31 December 2025. For buying a car in 2026 it's replaced by the Auto+ Programme, which is run directly by the Ministry of Industry and not by the regions. If you applied for MOVES III before it ended, your region is still processing that application.

How much is the Auto+ grant for an electric car?+

For individuals, up to 4.500 € per car. A further 50% of the maximum is added for being electric (25% if plug-in), 25% if it costs up to €35,000 before VAT (15% up to €45,000), 15% if it's assembled in Europe and another 10% if the battery is also European. An electric car under €35,000 made outside Europe ends up at 3.375 €.

Until when can you apply for Auto+ grants?+

The 2026 call for individuals is open from 04/08/2026 to 31/12/2026 at 14:00, or until the 350 million runs out. The one for self-employed and companies runs from 01/10/2026 to 31/12/2026. When the money runs out, applications go onto a waiting list that doesn't guarantee the grant.

Are there grants for scrapping your old car?+

Under the Auto+ Programme, no: unlike MOVES III, it doesn't give extra money for scrapping. Some regions do, such as the Comunidad de Madrid with its Plan Mueve Madrid (€2,000 if the old car has no sticker and you buy an ECO or ZERO one).

Can you deduct an electric car on your tax return?+

Yes, if you're an individual: you deduct 15% of what you pay, after subtracting grants, up to a maximum base of €20,000 (€3,000 deduction). It applies to new cars bought until 31/12/2026 and is claimed on the following year's tax return.

Are there grants for installing a home charger in 2026?+

There's no direct national grant: Auto+ only pays for cars. What does continue is the 15% IRPF (income tax) deduction, on a maximum base of €4,000 (up to €600), if the installation is finished before 31/12/2026 and the house or parking space is yours.

Are there grants for plug-in hybrids?+

Yes, if they have 40 km or more of electric range, which is what earns the ZERO sticker. Under Auto+ they get half of what an electric car gets for the technology (25% of the maximum versus 50%). Those with less range get the ECO sticker and don't qualify.

Indicative information, checked on 16/10/2026 in the BOE, the Agencia Tributaria (tax agency) and each region's website. Grants change: before buying, confirm with the dealership and the official source.
