The Spanish automotive market records in October 2026 its best October in 17 years, with passenger car registrations up 1.8% and a 31.5% share of electric and plug-in hybrid models; sales of electrified vehicles rise 41.3% and electric car sales 81%, while Tesla posts a 271.2% jump and BYD rises to fifth place among brands. This momentum is however weakened by the exhaustion of public incentives for electric vehicle purchases, prompting the industry and dealers to call for an extension and guarantees for 2027, with some manufacturers such as Mazda preparing their own discounts. Situations vary by territory: certain regions and provinces (Gipuzkoa, Balearic Islands, Castile and León) show sustained growth driven by incentives, while the Basque Country sees more moderate growth than the national average, and regional players such as independent dealers in Aragon call for additional funds. The story is covered mainly by the Spanish press, with some pickup in China and the United States.
