Electric vehicle sector companies: 30 days to adapt aid applications to new regulatory frameworks

Order ITU/218/2026 amends the rules for granting aid to battery production and hydrogen fuel cell projects, aligning them with Royal Decree-Law 36/2020 and Law 38/2003. It stipulates that applications must be adapted to the new regulatory frameworks, which came into force following the publication of the Order. This change directly affects projects seeking funding within this strategic sector.

In 2 key points

  1. Aid applications must be adapted to the new regulatory frameworks within 30 days (art. 61.2 del Real Decreto-ley 36/2020)
  2. The amendment is implemented through Order ITU/218/2026, of 12 March (Orden ITU/218/2026)

How it affects those involved

Companies in the electric vehicle sector must review and adapt their aid applications to the new regulatory frameworks to access subsidies. Project advisors must update their procedures and verify whether applications meet the new criteria. Public administrations will be able to evaluate applications with greater clarity and efficiency. Projects that do not comply will lose the opportunity to receive funding.
