The decarbonization of the automotive sector is a government challenge, not just a business one. The firms have shown their involvement, accelerating the development of battery-powered vehicles and other alternatives to conventional fossil fuels. This 2020 was marked as the turning point for the industry , in part due to the entry into force of much more restrictive European regulations. Manufacturers, however, demand the involvement of governments in the objective of offering competitive and functional electric models. Its low production and its high cost make it almost impossible to put zero emission vehicles on sale at the price of gasoline or diesel. With the Impulse Plan for the Automotive Industry Value Chain, the Government helps buyers of new vehicles with up to 4000 euros in the case of being electric and up to 800 for a heat engine. It seems like the ideal time to change the old car and get into sustainable driving. Its price is still not an attractive factor but in this list we will discover the cheapest electric models on the market.
Moves II has a budget of 230 million to be distributed following technological criteria for units that do not exceed 45,000 euros. That is, zero emissions will be prioritized ahead of polluting models, but luxury cars will not enter. Of course, the scrapping of a vehicle older than ten years must be justified in our name (or direct family member) and with the ITV in force. In the private channel, only vehicles with a Zero, ECO or C label will have this financial support. If you buy a 100% electric model they will subsidize 4,000 euros and if it is an ECO it will go from 600 to 1,000 euros . For models with the distinction C, the aid will be 400 to 800 euros . This amount is lower if you are an SME or a large company. For commercial vehicles there is a greater margin for the ECO and C models, the most common on the market.
In the following list we will talk about electric vehicles, for private use, which can be interesting for the pocket. As long as we have a three-phase plug at home or at work, and we do not need to exceed a daily distance of 200 to 300 kilometers. Autonomy and charging time continue to be the handicaps of zero emissions since the price, although high, begins to be accessible.
