Fleet electrification is one of the pillars of sustainable mobility in Spain. More and more companies are replacing combustion vehicles with electric alternatives to reduce costs and comply with new environmental regulations. In 2025, grants for electric fleets represent a major opportunity to make the shift towards efficiency and sustainability. Here’s what support is available, how to apply, and why now is the ideal time to transform your fleet.
Why Electrify Your Fleet in 2025
Urban transport and logistics are undergoing rapid change. With Low Emission Zones (LEZs) coming into force in more than 150 cities, businesses operating diesel or petrol vehicles face new restrictions. Switching to electric vehicles not only helps avoid penalties, but also brings significant financial and tax benefits.
In addition, electric vehicles have a much lower operating cost: energy spending can be up to 70% lower than traditional fuel, and maintenance costs can drop by more than 40%. On top of this come incentives under the MOVES III scheme, as well as other regional and local grants.
Main Grants and Subsidies for Electric Fleets
Companies can access various public programmes that support the purchase or leasing of electric vehicles for fleets. These are the most relevant in 2025:
1. MOVES III Scheme
The MOVES III scheme, managed by the IDAE and Spain’s regional governments, is the main support programme for purchasing electric vehicles in Spain. It provides subsidies for passenger cars, vans, motorcycles and light electric vehicles.
- Up to €9,000 towards the purchase of an electric vehicle if an old vehicle is scrapped.
- Up to €7,000 without scrappage.
- Includes support for installing charging points at businesses (up to 40% of the costs).
These grants can be combined with tax incentives, meaning total savings can exceed 30% of the vehicle’s value.
2. Regional and Local Grants
In addition to MOVES III, many regional governments and local councils offer complementary programmes for businesses electrifying their fleets:
- Madrid: Cambia 360 Plan, with additional support for professional fleets and delivery vehicles.
- Cataluña: MOVES Proyectos Singulares II, aimed at rolling out electric mobility within businesses.
- Andalucía, Comunidad Valenciana y País Vasco: Regional plans that fund up to 50% of the purchase cost or the installation of chargers.
3. Tax Deductions and Additional Benefits
Companies investing in electric vehicles can take advantage of tax benefits such as:
- A 15% corporate tax deduction for investments in sustainable mobility.
- Discounts on IVTM (Vehicle Excise Duty / road tax) and reduced toll charges.
- Free access to Low Emission Zones (LEZs) and free or discounted parking in regulated areas.
How to Apply for Grants to Electrify Your Fleet
The application process varies by region, but it generally follows these steps:
- Check the current call for applications on your regional government’s website or the IDAE site.
- Submit the required documentation (pro forma invoice, technical specification sheet, and proof of business status).
- Wait for the decision and receive the grant after the vehicle is registered or the charging point is installed.
In many cases, dealerships or specialised companies such as Inquieto can manage the application on the customer’s behalf, simplifying the process.
Electric Leasing: The Easiest Way to Make the Most of Grants
One of the most efficient options for businesses is electric vehicle leasing. It allows you to benefit from grants without a large upfront investment, and with all services included: maintenance, insurance, taxes and roadside assistance.
Leasing also offers flexibility to adjust the number of vehicles to demand and renew the fleet with more efficient technology every few years. It’s the ideal solution for delivery, logistics and urban service companies.
Example of Real Savings with an Electric Fleet
Let’s imagine a company with 10 diesel vans that decides to switch to electric in 2025:
- MOVES III grants: 9.000 € × 10 = 90.000 €.
- Annual savings on fuel and maintenance: around 2,500€ per vehicle
Estimated total benefit over 5 years: more than 200,000€.
In addition, the company will be able to keep operating without restrictions in Low Emission Zones (LEZs) and strengthen its corporate image as a sustainable brand.
