  People have been searching for this since 28 October, when the Minister for the Environment and Energy, Maria da Graça Carvalho, announced in parliament that in 2027 the state will, for the first time, offer separate support to low-income families buying an electric car. It will pay up to 80% of the price, for about 20,000 cars in total. Jornal de Negócios reports the conditions: the car must cost no more than €16,000 before VAT, so the support comes to €12,800 at most. The family pays the remaining 20% and the VAT itself.

  The minister did not say who will count as a low-income family or when applications will open. The standard electric car subsidy, open to everyone, will also continue “with rules similar to the previous ones”, and €50 million has been set aside for it in 2027, five times as much as in the last round. More in our news story Low-income families: the state will pay up to 80% of the price of an electric car.

  The last round, worth €10 million, closed as soon as the money ran out: applications are approved in the order they arrive. How the payments work and what to submit is explained in our guide State money for an electric car.
