How the DGT's position has evolved
Current position
The deduction for the acquisition of electric vehicles requires that the vehicle be new and registered for the first time in Spain in the taxpayer's name. It is only applicable to vehicles in categories M1, L6e, L7e, L3e, L4e, or L5e. In community property regimes, the deduction corresponds solely to the spouse in whose name the registration is held.
The DGT's position remains constant in the interpretation of the requirements of the fifty-eighth additional provision. Rulings have progressively specified the exclusion of used vehicles, the importance of the vehicle's administrative category, and the ownership of the registration in community property regimes.
