The Moves III Plan came into force in April and grants up to 7,000 euros to encourage the change towards sustainable mobility.
The world has declared war on combustion vehicles and proof of this is that the European Commission has just set for the year 2035 the end of the sale of diesel, gasoline, hybrid and bi-fuel cars with some type of gas.
Although it is true that we are increasingly aware of the environment, the prices of hybrid or plug-in mobility continue to be a wall that not all families can overcome in our country.
In Spain, the Government has set as a goal that, in 2050, the Spanish is a emission-free mobility And to achieve this, the executive has decided to close the gap that separates the price of combustion and plug-in models with financial aid known as MOVES (Efficient and Sustainable Mobility).
400 MILLION EUROS IN AID
The Moves III Plan is the third edition of the incentive program linked to electric mobility. It is part of the European Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan and has a budget of 400 million euros, which are distributed in the form of direct aid for electric mobility and for the charging infrastructure. The Government has made a commitment to expand this budget to double it if there is sufficient demand.
