Plan MOVES 2025: Guide to incentives for companies, hotels and SMEs
The MOVES III Plan, the Spanish government's initiative to promote sustainable mobility and the adoption of electric vehicles, extends until December 2025 and is consolidated as a key opportunity for companies, the self-employed and SMEs seeking to electrify their fleets and install charging infrastructure.
This program, which aims to reduce CO2 emissions and meet the goals of the National Integrated Energy and Climate Plan (NIPEC), offers substantial grants to facilitate this energy transition.
1. What is the MOVES III plan?
The MOVES III Plan is a Spanish government incentive program, managed by the Autonomous Communities, whose goal is to promote electric mobility in the country.
Its main lines of action are:
- Purchase of electric vehicles (EVs ) and plug-in hybrids (PHEVs).
- Implementation of electric charging point infrastructure.
The total budget of the program, initially €800 million, has been expanded to €1,000 million with an additional allocation of €200 million. Specifically, for the year 2025, a budget allocation of €400 million has been set aside for distribution among the autonomous communities.
2. Key benefits of the MOVES III plan for companies and SMEs
The program offers three major benefits for the company that decides to join electrification:
- Cost leveling: by covering a significant portion of the initial cost of vehicles and charging infrastructure, the subsidy reduces the price gap with combustion vehicles.
- Competitive and image advantage: allows companies to communicate their commitment to the environment to customers, investors and regulators, enhancing their brand image and positioning in the sustainable mobility market.
- Strategic Alignment: companies participating in the Plan anticipate future low emission regulations and market trends.
3. Grants for the purchase of electric vehicles.
Aid for the purchase of vehicles varies according to the category and size of the company, and whether the scrapping of an old vehicle (more than 7 years old) is included.
| Vehicle category | Type of beneficiary | Without scrapping | With scrapping |
|---|---|---|---|
| Passenger cars (M1) (BEV, PHEV > 90 km) | Autonomous | €4.500 | €7.000 |
| Vans (N1) | Autonomous | €7.000 | €9.000 |
| Passenger cars (M1) (BEV, PHEV > 90 km) | SME | €2.900 | €4.000 |
| Passenger cars (M1) (BEV, PHEV > 90 km) | Large Enterprises | €2.200 | €3.000 |
Additional criteria for vehicles:
- Maximum price: the selling price (excluding VAT) must not exceed €45,000 (€53,000 for 8- or 9-seater vehicles).
- Eligible vehicles: pure electric vehicles (BEVs), extended range electric vehicles (EREVs), plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) and fuel cell vehicles (FCVs or FCHVs).
- Limit for businesses: the maximum number of subsidizable vehicles is 250 vehicles per calendar year (except self-employed).
4. Grants for the installation of charging points.
Support for the installation of charging infrastructure (charging stations and charging points) is one of the pillars of the MOVES III Plan and varies according to the size of the company and the power of the charging point.
| Company size | Power of charging point | Percentage coverage |
|---|---|---|
| Small Business (Private Access) | ≤ 50 kW | 50% |
| Small Business (Private Access) | > 50 kW | 30% |
| Small Business (Public Access) | Any power | 50% |
| Medium Enterprise (Private Access) | ≤ 50 kW | 40% |
| Medium Enterprise (Private Access) | > 50 kW | 30% |
| Medium Enterprise (Public Access) | Any power | 40% |
| Large Enterprise (Private or Public Access) | Any power | 20% |
| Small/Medium Enterprise (Public Access - De Minimis Scheme) | ≤ 50 kW | 55% |
| Small/Medium Enterprise (Public Access - De Minimis Scheme) | > 50 kW | 45% |
Additional considerations:
- Municipalities with a population of less than 5,000: Aid rates may increase by up to an additional 10 percent.
- Limit: A company can receive up to €800,000 per practice for charging infrastructure.
4. Powy's strategic role
Accessing MOVES III Plan grants requires specific technical skills and knowledge of regulations. Many companies do not have the internal resources to handle the installation of charging infrastructure in a professional manner.
Powy offers companies, hotels and SMEs a complete and professional solution for installing charging stations:
- Turnkey installation: Powy takes care of the entire infrastructure, from design to installation.
- Professional technology: modern, reliable and regulatory-compliant charging stations with advanced management systems.
- No improvisation: companies do not have to deal with complex technical aspects or coordinate different suppliers, Powy manages the whole process.
- Maintenance and ongoing support: professional technical assistance to ensure optimal operation over time.
5. Strategic opportunity for hotels and accommodations
Hotels and accommodations are facing increasing demand for charging services from guests with electric vehicles. In an increasingly sustainability-driven market, offering charging stations has become a key competitive differentiator.
The benefits to hotels are obvious:
- Premium positioning on booking platforms due to the presence of a charging service.
- Competitive advantage over facilities that do not offer this increasingly popular service.
- New source of revenue, through revenue sharing or increased bookings.
- Increased attractiveness to customers with high purchasing power and looking for facilities with charging.
- Modern, cutting-edge image in line with sustainable mobility trends.
Powy installs professional charging stations in hotels, offering complete turnkey solutions with modern and reliable technology, easy payment systems for guests, and intuitive management platforms for staff.
With in-depth knowledge of regulations, Powy enables hotels to equip themselves with quality infrastructure in an efficient and professional manner, enhancing the image of the facility and ensuring full guest satisfaction.
6. Frequently asked questions (FAQ)
How can companies benefit from the MOVES III Plan grants for electric vehicles?
Companies can benefit from MOVES III Plan grants in several key ways:

- Substantial subsid ies for charging infrastructure: companies can obtain subsidies covering up to 55 percent of the eligible cost of installing charging points, depending on their size (SMEs) and charger power.
- Reduced operating costs: fleet electrification leads to lower fuel and maintenance expenses in the long run, improving profit margins.
- Improved corporate image: adoption of electric mobility solutions demonstrates a commitment to sustainable mobility and corporate social responsibility, attracting customers and investors.

7. Conclusion
The MOVES III 2025 Plan represents a unique opportunity to support companies, hotels, and SMEs in their transition to electric mobility. By facilitating access to electric vehicles and charging infrastructure with very significant cost coverage, the plan not only eases the initial investment, but also positions companies as leaders in sustainability and efficiency.
The key is to act now: with limited funds and a validity until December 2025, companies need to plan and submit their applications as soon as possible to avoid being left without help.
