José López-Tafall, general director of ANFAC indicated that “the market for electrified passenger cars registers new growth in October. We are on the right path, but we must accelerate the pace. For another month, the market share remains at around 13%, but we must aim for more. The European average doubles our electrified market share and we are far from where a market like the Spanish one should be. We have a wide range of electrified vehicles and Spain has up to €7,000 in aid from the MOVES III Plan, plus a 15% personal income tax deduction on the purchase of electrified vehicles, something especially interesting between now and the end of the year as it allows the deduction to be applied now. in the declaration to be presented next spring. It’s time to buy an electrified one. Now, we cannot stop. It is critical to ensure the continuity of MOVES beyond December 31, and take decisive action to improve its efficiency and that the discount is applied directly at the time of purchase: ANFAC has a concrete proposal in this regard, based on taxation and which we understand benefits both the citizens and the AAPP involved. Likewise, we must continue to promote the public access charging network and implement a fiscal framework that encourages the acquisition of electrified vehicles in companies. The electrified vehicle is the future and the customer must see it as an attractive purchase option.”
