We are seeing similarly wrong-headed, untargeted policy decisions happen today. Spain has already
allocated €5 billion to cuts to VAT on energy and fuel duties. This is an order of magnitude more than
the €400 million earmarked for EV subsidies in 2026, and almost twice the sum Spain devoted to all its
measures for electric mobility between 2021 and 2025 (€2.7 billion, including both EV subsidies and
investment in charging infrastructure). Italy’s emergency measures including fuel duty cuts will cost it €1
billion over two months – more than the €600 million recently allocated to EV subsidies. Poland’s cuts in
fuel taxes will cost €370 million a month.
La rebaja de impuestos a los combustibles fósiles del Gobierno va a costar el doble que todas las ayudas a la movilidad eléctrica entre 2021 y 2025 (5 mil millones vs. 2,7 mil millones).
