Programa Auto+

Frequently asked questions

What is the Auto+ Programme?

The Auto+ Programme is the Spanish government's new Programme to support the purchase of cost-effective, European electric and electrified vehicles, which will be implemented in coordination with the autonomous communities.

The Auto+ Programme continues to go to great lengths to foster demand under the MOVES Programme, while also supporting European and Spanish vehicle production.

The Auto+ Programme is a measure and commitment by the Spanish government included in the Auto 2030 Plan and has earmarked a budget of €400 million for 2026.

To be considered eligible under the Auto+ Programme, vehicles must meet two minimum requirements: they must have a ZERO label and they must not exceed the price limits set out in point 7 of this document. All vehicle prices referred to in this document are understood to be invoice prices, excluding taxes and after commercial discounts.
