Overview
The MOVES II and III Programmes are support policies to allocate subsidies for efficient and sustainable mobility, such as the purchase of EVs, but also to provide aid to RES-T infrastructure, for instance, for the implementation of EV charging stations.
The tax rates of the Special Tax on Certain Means of Transport are based on the CO2 emissions of the vehicle. Similarly, environmental elements are considered for the granting of allowances in the Mechanical Traction Vehicles Tax (the fuel used and the type of engine).
Apart from that, Spain has in place a quota system for the sale and consumption of biofuels.
The Spanish NECP foresees that by 2030, the RE quota in energy gross final consumption in the transport sector will be 28%, compared to 10% in 2020. -

- Subsidy (MOVES II Programme) – Subsidies for the acquisition of different types of vehicles (EVs, among others), EVs charging stations, and electric bicycle renting systems.
- Subsidy (MOVES III Programme) - Subsidies for the procurement of plug-in and fuel cell EVs and to the implementation of EV charging infrastructure
- Tax regulation mechanism (Tax rates and allowances adjusted by environmental elements) – Certain tax rates and allowances vary according to the CO2 emissions, the type of fuel and the vehicle´s engine.
- Biofuel quota (Promotion of Biofuels) – A minimum percentage of biofuels sales and consumptions as a percentage of total petrol or diesel sold or consumed in the transport sector, is set for every year
- Support of RES-T infrastructure – charging for e-vehicles (Programmes MOVES II and III) – The Programmes also allocate subsidies for the implementation of EV charging stations and associated infrastructure
