The Moves III Plan currently in force grants up to €7,000 to encourage the change towards sustainable mobility. The current rise in oil prices makes the purchase of an electric car more attractive than everwhich already pays for itself much faster than it did just a couple of years ago.
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 becoming more 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 itself the goal that, in 2050the Spanish is a emission-free mobility and to achieve this, the executive has decided to close the gap between the price of combustion models and plug-in models with economic aid known as MOVES (Efficient and Sustainable MOVility).

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, which are distributed in the form of direct aid for electric mobility and charging infrastructure. The Government has made a commitment to expand this budget to double it if there is sufficient demand.
