Sales of electrified passenger cars manage to increase their sales volume compared to the same month of the previous year, but both the rate of entry and the volume of sales are still less than necessary. According to forecasts, the electrified market will close at around 110,000 units, a figure that would be well below the 190,000 set for 2023 to achieve the emission reduction targets required in the Fit for 55.
José López-Tafall, general director of ANFAC, pointed out that “compared to the previous year, the electrified vehicle market has a continuous growth rate, but this rate would have to be even higher. In the first half of the year, only 11% of sales are electrified, while in the rest of Europe they double our share and continue to grow. Spain does not have a supply problem, it has a scarce and little stimulated demand. From ANFAC, we celebrate the approval of the deduction of 15% of personal income tax for the purchase of electrified vehicles, a measure that we have been proposing for some time. It is an important first step, but it must be accompanied by more measures that promote and encourage the purchase of this type of vehicle. In the future we have to find an alternative system that allows the aid to be collected at the time of purchase and, in parallel, reduce the processing and administrative costs that the current model imposes on all the administrations involved, and that only make available these move very slowly. We face a tough requirement set in the Fit for 55 with the emission reduction objectives where electrification is the main commitment to achieve it”.
