Government to subsidise up to 80% of electric car purchases for low-income households

Environment and Energy Minister Maria da Graça Carvalho announced that the government will help finance more than 20,000 electric vehicles for the most disadvantaged social groups, with public funding covering as much as 80% of the cost. She spoke during the parliamentary debate on the 2027 State Budget. Alongside the targeted scheme, incentives for the general public will continue under rules similar to earlier years, backed by a budget of 50 million euros.
