Spain: record market in October, electric vehicle incentives on hold
In October 2026, the Spanish automotive market recorded its best month in 17 years, with registrations up 1.8% and electric vehicle sales up 81%, BYD rising to fifth place among brands. This dynamism is nevertheless accompanied by strong concerns over the exhaustion of public incentives for electric vehicle purchases, with dealers and the industry calling for their extension or guarantees for 2027. Regional situations diverge: Catalonia sees its electric vehicle sales double and Castilla y León post records, while the Basque Country progresses more slowly than the national average. Facing the announced withdrawal of subsidies, some automakers are preparing their own schemes, such as Mazda and its 4,500 euro incentive. The story is also covered by Chinese, American and British press.
