Plan Moves III is a key initiative of the Spanish government to boost sustainable mobility. Launched as part of the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan, the program offers subsidies for the purchase of electric vehicles and the installation of charging infrastructure. Key objectives include:
- Increasing the number of electric vehicles
- Developing charging infrastructure
- Promoting sustainable mobility in companies and public agencies
The plan aims to contribute to the goals of the National Integrated Energy and Climate Plan (NIPEC), which calls for 5.5 million electric vehicles in Spain by 2030.
Powy, one of the leading companies in the electric vehicle charging infrastructure sector in Spain and Italy, has been operating in the Iberian Peninsula for some time, installing and managing charging stations in various public access parking areas-such as shopping centers, accommodation facilities, sports centers and beyond-as well as in the field of fleet electrification.

The Powy charging network in Spain
Charging stations Powy deliver 100% renewable energy and are often located near commercial and recreational activities. In Spain, many of these columns are located near the many hotels, restaurants, shopping centers, and gas stations.
This strategic positioning not only facilitates access to charging for electric vehicle owners, but also stimulates economic activity in the surrounding areas by ensuring that people can charge their electric vehicles at all times and occasions.
