The Government of Spain has just announced that it will double the subsidies for the purchase of electric and plug-in hybrid cars, reaching a total of 800 million euros.
Of that amount, 400 million will be allocated to the new Plan Auto+, which will come into effect in 2026 and will be managed directly by the central government. The other 400 million will be used to cover the pending waiting list from the previous plan, PLAN MOVES III, which concludes at the end of 2025.
In addition to the direct purchase aid, the broader Plan España Auto 2030 package includes incentives to accelerate the production and sale of electric vehicles, as well as investments in charging infrastructure.
What does this mean for buyers — even if you are in the Dominican Republic or looking to import?
-
In a European context like Spain, these incentives make it easier to access more modern, efficient, and low-emission vehicles. This usually translates into a better electric car market, which can benefit resale or export markets.
-
For individuals: the discounts can represent significant savings on the purchase of an electric or plug-in hybrid car. In a globalized market, if vehicles from Spain are exported or resold, better prices could be obtained.
-
For buying/selling and export/import businesses: an increase in the supply of electric vehicles in Europe can create opportunities to acquire them at good prices, which could be transferred to markets like the Dominican Republic.
In summary: with this measure, Spain strengthens its commitment to electric mobility.
