Innovation in electromobility and recharging points

 The goal of this investment is to give incentives to the deployment of electric vehicles and fuel cell vehicles, as well as to encourage individual innovation projects linked to the electro-mobility, value chain and vehicle fleet renewal at large (including exploiting green hydrogen technology). The investment shall also include the installation of public charging stations in residential areas as well as on the national road network. It is part of the strategic project on electric and connected vehicles with a total investment of EUR 2.87 billion from the Recovery and Resilience Facility.

• The scheme MOVES III (managed by regions), with a budget of EUR 626 million, is supporting investing in public charging stations and individuals and companies who want to obtain electric or hybrid cars. EUR 104 million have been awarded so far.
• MOVES Flotas: two calls have been launched for a total amount of EUR 63.6 million. In the first call, 33 projects have been funded for a total amount of EUR 13.6 million.
• Two calls of the scheme MOVES Singulares II have been published already for a total budget of EUR 364 million in grants. Calls have focused on encouraging innovative projects by Spanish companies to promote the technological maturity of electric and fuel cell vehicles.

Examples of investments at local level

Construction of a first prototype of electric bus of 12 metres for interurban use and journeys of up to 280 km per day

The firm QEVTECH is a frontrunner in electric mobility. Together with the family company Beulas and Arbúcies, with a long tradition in coachworks, they have built a first prototype of an electric bus of 12 metres for interurban use and journeys of up to 280 km per day. The bus will have the potential to be replicated in limited series for sale to national and European operators operating similar routes. The project, with a total budget of EUR 1.9million will receive EUR 858.546 from the Recovery and Resilience Facility.

Validation of hydrogen technology as a sustainable mobility model in the Balearic Islands

With Recovery and Resilience Facility support, this project aims to demonstrate and validate hydrogen technology, as part of the sustainable mobility model promoted by the city of Palma. It will allow the purchase of five buses running on green hydrogen produced by photovoltaic panels. These vehicles are expected to have a range of 350 km and to be charged in 8 minutes, a much shorter time than other electric mobility technologies. Among the final results, energy savings of 31 % and CO₂ emission reductions of 100 % are expected.
