Government plans to mobilize 19,700 million private investment and job creation could reach 140,000 jobs
This Friday, June 3, is the deadline for applying for support from the Strategic Project for the Restoration and Economic Transformation of the Electric and Connected Vehicle (Perte VEC), which initially ended May 3, after opening on April 1, and was extended until twice.
Perte VEC’s support, in the context of the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan in 2022, amounts to 2,975 million euros, of which 1,425 million will be provided in the form of loans and another 1,550 million through grants.
This support corresponds to the industrial part, which is complemented by the Moves III plan, to encourage the purchase of electric vehicles, or the Moves Singulares programme, up to EUR 4,300 million, among others.
The government plans to mobilize 19,700 million private investment and job creation could reach 140,000, while contributing to GDP would be between 1% and 1.7%. Other expected impacts include reaching 250,000 electric vehicles registered in Spain by 2023 and between 80,000 and 110,000 charging points.
The first disbursement of the aid awarded will be ordered as soon as the award resolution has been issued and will be made for the total amount of aid awarded corresponding to the annuity of the current year. The second payment corresponding to the aid granted for the annuity of 2023 will be made during 2023 and is subject to the presentation, before 15 September 2023, of the updated situation of the investments and expenditures made to date.
