Spain: record October 2026 and surge in electric car sales

In October 2026, the Spanish car market posted its best October in 17 years, with passenger car registrations up 1.8 percent and a 31.5 percent share for electric and plug-in hybrid vehicles. Electric car sales jumped 81 percent, BYD rose to fifth place among brands and the Atto 2 ranked third in sales. The industry and several regions are calling for an extension or strengthening of purchase incentives, whose depletion is a concern, while Mazda is preparing a private incentive of 4,500 euros. Regional dynamics differ: Catalonia doubles its electric car sales, Castile and León reaches records, the Basque Country progresses more slowly than the average, the Balearic Islands gain 8.9 percent and Madrid publishes the beneficiaries of Cambia 360. The sub-events provided all concern Spain, although the file is also covered by China, the United States and the United Kingdom.
