What the Auto+ Plan offers, requirements and how to request it

Let’s explain to you What are the aids to buy an electric car? of the Auto+ Plan. Thus, if you are thinking of buying a car of this type in 2026, you will know until when the aid can increase and what the requirements are to be able to apply for it.

The Auto+ Plan is the successor to the MOVES III Plan which ended last year, and solves some of the problems that it had been dragging on. This new aid plan has some important newsboth in the amounts and in the way in which the aid is calculated.

These are the aids of the Auto+ Plan

Below, we leave you the table in which you can see the amounts of aid and the percentage received. Here, to calculate the aid, both the type of car and its price before taxes will be calculated and where it was manufacturedso that those who are European will be given more priority. Here you have the table:

Aid phases and requirements

The Auto+ Plan aid is calculated based on three phases. This means that 100% of the aid is divided into three partsone of 50% and two others of 25%. With this, if you want to receive 100% you will have to meet the requirements of each of the phases of the aid.

• Phase 1: Type of car (up to 50% of the total aid): If you buy an electric or fuel cell car, you will be awarded 50% of the total aid. This is all that can be given to you in this phase. If the car is an extended range electric or plug-in hybrid, then it will only be 25%.
• Phase 2: car price (up to 25% of total aid): If your car costs up to 35,000 euros before taxes, an additional 25% of the aid will be added. If your car costs between 35,000 and 45,000 euros, you only receive 15%. If it costs more than 45,000 euros, nothing is added to you.
• Phase 3: where it is manufactured (up to 25% of total aid): This phase is divided into two conditions. If your car was manufactured in Europe, an additional 15% will be added for the aid. And if the battery has also been produced in Europe (at least the battery pack assembly), then you receive an additional 10%. If you meet both requirements, then the remaining 25% is added to the total aid.

With this, you will only be able to aspire to the maximum aid of 4,500 euros if you comply with everything: if your car is electric or fuel cell, if it cost a maximum of 35,000 euros, if the car was manufactured in Europe and if the battery was assembled in Europe.

In the event that you do not meet all the requirementssince you will stop receiving the percentage of the aid that corresponds to the phase whose requirements the vehicle you have purchased does not meet.

In addition to this, you should know that There are other points to take into account. on the types of vehicles to which aid is provided. As we explained in Xatakathese are the points:

• The aid takes into account all purchases made from January 1, 2026 so those who have purchased an electric car in the first month of the year will be able to have access to them.
• Aid is only provided for purchases of Zero-emission vehicles.
• Aid is only provided to passenger cars (M1) whose maximum amount before the application of VAT is 45,000 euros.
• N1 vehicles (vehicles intended for the transport of goods that do not exceed 3,500 kg) have no purchase limit to receive aid
• L3e, L4e and L5e vehicles (mopeds) may not exceed 10,000 euros before taxes to receive aid.
• L6e and L7e vehicles (quadricycles) have no purchase limit to receive aid.
• The maximum aid for a car will be 4,500 euros.
• The brand will have to offer a minimum discount of 1,000 euros.
• It is not clear when the aid will be delivered to the client or how long it will take for the client to receive it.

How and when aid is delivered

At the time of writing this article, It is still not known how to ask for help. of the Auto+ Plan. In the previous plans, depending on each autonomous community, the request was made by the dealer or you had to make it personally, but we still do not know these details.

From the Ministry of Industry and Tourism It has not been clarified either. exactly when the aid will be delivered to the client. The idea is that the discount is instantaneous at the time of purchase, and thus avoid waits of up to 18 months who have come to live with the MOVES III Plan. However, we still do not know this information precisely.

But don’t worry, because We will update this article when these two doubts are dispelled. and let us be clearer about the mechanism that will be followed to request aid and how long it will take to receive it.
