Mobilidade Verde – Passageiros — ‘Green Mobility’, help with buying a zero-emission car
A programme run by the environmental fund Fundo Ambiental that gives private individuals money towards a new electric car — €4,000 under the 2025/2026 notice. Conditions: you must scrap your own old car, which must be more than ten years old; the new one must cost no more than €38,500 (€55,000 if it has more than five seats); one payment per person.
Where you come across it. Notices (avisos) on the Fundo Ambiental website; talk in car showrooms of a ‘government discount’ on electric cars.
The money is not available all year round but in windows: the fund opens applications for a few weeks and approves them in order of the date and time of submission until the window closes or the set number of payments runs out. The last window ran from 11 June to 27 July 2026 and was funded with money left unspent in 2024 and 2025. The fund does not publish how quickly the payments are taken up. Expenses count retrospectively — invoices from 1 January 2025 — so people keep their paperwork (the scrapping certificate and the car contract) ready and wait for the notice. The exemption of electric cars from ISV and IUC has nothing to do with this programme and applies regardless.
