Royal Decree-Law 3/2025, published on April 1, extends for another year the personal income tax reduction that allows for tax deductions on the purchase of electric vehicles—including fuel cell vehicles—and the installation of home charging stations. The measure, linked to the MOVES III program, covers all transactions carried out between January 1 and December 31, 2025.

What is deduction?

Concept

Percentage

Maximum base

Essential conditions

Acquisition of a plug-in electric vehicle or fuel cell vehicle

15 %

20.000 € → maximum savings €3,000

• New vehicle, not for professional use.

• Registration (or payment of at least 25 % of the price) between 30-06-2023 and 31-12-2025.

• First registration in Spain before 31-12-2025 (or before the end of the second fiscal year following the advance payment). 

Installation of a domestic charging point

15 %

4.000 € → maximum savings €600

• Work carried out between 06/30/2023 and 12/31/2025 on a property you own.

• The charger cannot be used for any economic activity.

• It is only deducted in the year in which the installation ends.

• Any public subsidy received must be subtracted.

Temporary keys

  • The extension applies with retroactive effect from 1 January 2025; the purchase, down payment, or installation must take place within 2025.

  • Taxpayers will apply the deduction in the Income Tax Return corresponding to the year in which register the vehicle or end the work of the loader.

Vehicle requirements

  • Supported categories: passenger cars M1, light vans N1 and electric quadricycles/motorcycles L3e-L5e with minimum autonomy according to the IDAE.

  • You cannot be involved in a business activity or have enjoyed similar regional deductions.

  • It must be zero emissions or of fuel cell certified.

Connection with MOVES III

The royal decree-law also extends the MOVES III aid program and allocates 400 million euros to complement the tax relief with direct subsidies (up to €7,000 for passenger cars and €9,000 for vans). 

How to take advantage of it without mistakes

  1. Invoice and payment method: The expense must be paid with identifiable banking means (card, transfer, personal check).

  2. Subtract subsidies: If you receive MOVES aid, deduct it from the base before applying the 15 %.

  3. Keep the documentation: invoice, bank receipt and, where applicable, certificate of installation of the charging point.

  4. Declare in the correct exercise: vehicle → year of registration | loader → year of completion of work.

Why it matters

The extension maintains the fiscal pull While a new incentive plan is being designed for 2026, it helps Spain meet the decarbonization goals of the National Economic Plan (PNIEC). For a private buyer, the subsidy + deduction combination can reduce the final price of an electric car by several thousand euros and the cost of a home charger by up to €600.

In summary, 2025 remains a fiscally optimal year to make the leap to electric mobility: the 15 % incentive will remain in effect, but only until December 31.
