With the growing bet on sustainable mobility, the government has launched new incentives for the purchase of ecological vehicles. This year, there are important changes in support, covering a greater variety of means of transport and widening the eligibility criteria. Find out how much you can save.
Reinforced supports for electric cars
Those who want to purchase a light 100% electric passenger car can benefit from a 4,000 euros support. The news this year is that, in addition to vehicles with a maximum price of 38,500 euros, electric cars will also be eligible up to 55,000 euros, as long as they have more than five places.
This change aims to encourage larger families to adhere to electric mobility, reducing environmental impact without compromising the need for space and comfort.
Bicycles and motorcycles also benefit
The incentive is not limited to cars. There is also support for those who want to purchase electric, conventional bicycles, motorcycles, mopeds, tricycles and electric quads. The measure aims to widen sustainable mobility options for all citizens, regardless of the chosen means of transport.
Subsidies vary according to the type of vehicle, but they are an important help for those who want to adhere to more environmentally friendly and economic solutions.
Who can apply?
These supports may benefit all individuals who get a vehicle within the established criteria. However, each person can only apply for a support by vehicle category. That is, if you buy an electric car, you will not be able to request support for an electric bike.
The measure is also available for the purchase of electric vehicle chargers in multifamily condominiums, facilitating the loading of vehicles in residential buildings.

Deadlines and procedures
Support is valid for vehicles purchased between January 1 and December 31, 2025. To benefit from the incentive, interested parties must submit the application as soon as the process is officially opened by the government.
The application process should be carried out through an online platform, where you will need to present the purchase invoice and other proof documents.
The forecast is that the financing will be attributed by order of registration and until the exhaustion of the funds intended for the program. It is therefore advisable that interested parties apply as soon as possible.
Impact on the family budget
These incentives represent significant help for consumers. The reduction of 4,000 euros in the price of an electric car, for example, can make a difference in the purchase decision. The same is true of discounts applied to bicycles and motorcycles, which according to, represents a more affordable transition to sustainable options.
With the price of constantly increasing fuels, electric mobility emerges as a more economical long -term alternative. In addition to direct savings at the time of purchase, users also benefit from lower maintenance and supply costs.
A GREETER FUTURE
The transition to sustainable mobility is a global priority, and Portugal is taking concrete steps in this regard. With the assignment of these supports, the government encourages not only the reduction of polluting emissions, but also the improvement of quality of life in cities.
