By the end of 2025 and 2026 there will be more subsidies for the purchase of electric cars
Many people who have bought anelectric car in 2025 have not received the corresponding subsidy due to the exhaustion of the Moves Plan but Enternational Ministry of Ecological Transition has just given the Basque Government 50 million which will be used to close the 3,400 outstanding applications, both for those who have purchased an electric car or plug-in hybrid and for those who have done the work of installing an electric point.
Another good news for those who are thinking of buying an electric vehicle in 2026 is that the Sánchez Government is going to launch a new 400 million plan to provide aid to buyers of up to EUR 4.5 billion. Unlike so far, the discount will be made at the time of buying the car. Until now, it was necessary to wait six months after the purchase of the car in order to obtain the subsidy in the Basque Country.
Jon Tolaretxipi Ford, representative of Easo Motor, has explained to ETB that of every 100 cars sold in 2025, 8 have been electric, and thanks to this support, 20 out of every 100 cars are expected to be electric by 2026.
However, all experts believe that in order to increase the sale of electric cars, it is essential to increase the supply of smaller and cheaper electric cars .
