Overview
- Lawmakers declined to validate Royal Decree-Law 2/2026 by 172 votes to 177, with PP, Vox and Junts opposing the measure after a similar defeat on January 27.
- The decision removes the 15% income-tax deduction on a purchase base up to €20,000—worth up to €3,000—and scraps the home charger deduction of up to €600.
- People who bought an electrified vehicle or installed a charger in 2026 expecting the extension will not be able to claim these benefits on their next tax return.
- Industry group ANFAC called the loss of the IRPF deduction especially worrying and urged immediate cross-party agreement to restore stable incentives.
- The government’s alternative Plan Auto+ totals €400 million, offers up to €4,500 per vehicle retroactive to January 1, and is expected to open for applications in May or June with eligibility tied to price, origin and powertrain after MOVES III expired in December.
