Electric cars

The sticker price of an electric car in Spain is the least interesting number attached to it. MOVES pays up to €7,000 but arrives as a tax-deductible refund anywhere between eight and eighteen months later, and it is taxable income in the year it lands — a detail that surprises people at exactly the wrong moment. These guides cover what an EV really costs to buy, register, insure and run here, with the timing and the tax treatment spelled out.
