On the one hand, The Government’s Moves III Plan offers up to 7,000 euros if you buy an electric car and hand over an old vehicle to be scrapped. If you do not have a vehicle for scrapping, the aid is reduced to 4,500 euros. In the case of plug-in hybrid cars, the aid is up to 5,000 euros with scrapping and 2,500 euros if we do not deliver the vehicle to be sent to the scrapyard. However, there is an economic limit to be able to access this benefit: The car cannot cost more than 45,000 euros without VAT.

Finally, currently, by purchasing an electric car you can benefit from Energy Savings Certificates (CAE).

In this way, if an action is undertaken that implies a new annual saving of 500 kWh, 500 CAE can be obtained”, explains the Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge on its website.
This aid, compatible with the Moves Plan, can be requested by the buyer from any company that markets a new electric car, whenever a combustion vehicle is delivered, sold or sent to scrapyard as part of the operation.
As for the amount to be received, there is no fixed amount. Everything will depend on the estimated energy savings between the old vehicle and the new one, the type of use and the characteristics of the model. In practice, Discounts usually range between 800 and 1,500 euros per vehicle.
In this way, a citizen who hands over his old car to be scrapped could benefit from aid for the acquisition of a 100% electric car. worth more than 11,000 euros (Moves+IRPF+CAE). If you do not have a vehicle to scrap but do have a vehicle to deliver, the amount could reach 9,000 euros.
