The last support for the purchase of electric vehicles in Portugal was granted at the end of December 2025, with the government allocating €17.6 million and issuing checks of up to €5,000, depending on the type of vehicle.

In the previous year, it was possible to request support even after purchasing the vehicle, provided it was formalised in 2025. Another condition for receiving support was scrapping a fossil-fuel-powered car that was more than 10 years old. The price of the car could not exceed €38,500, including VAT and associated expenses. If the vehicle had five seats, the value could reach €55,000.

The Minister also says that this is not the only support planned for 2026. According to ECO, in January, Maria da Graça Carvalho had already announced a program to support the purchase of solar panels.
