Solidarity Mobility

We promote electric mobility so that social and environmental organisations can reach further.

Mobility that broadens social and environmental impact

The EDP Foundation supports non-profit social and environmental organisations in their transition to 100% electric mobility. Having a suitable mobility solution can mean reaching more people and areas, facilitating essential services and activities, and dedicating more resources to their mission. Solidarity Mobility links this impact to a fairer energy transition, helping to reduce emissions and transport-related costs.

FAQs

The programme is aimed at private non-profit organisations, non-governmental development organisations or non-governmental environmental organisations, or similar legal entities working for social welfare and the public interest, based in Spain, which require an electric vehicle to support their missions and projects and which meet the requirements set out in the Programme Regulations.

How can an organisation submit an application?

Applications must be submitted using the form provided on the EDP Foundation’s website, available from 14 October to 30 November 2026. Before completing the form, the applicant organisation must consult the Programme Regulations, also available on the website, and check that it meets the eligibility criteria.

Do I need to include budgets in the application?

The application form requires applicants to attach one or more files containing the budget for the mobility solution chosen by the organisation.

To do this, the link to the file or folder containing the various documents must be entered in the designated space on the form. This may be shared via Microsoft OneDrive, Google Drive or another platform used by the organisation, provided that access is open so that the Foundation can view it.

What is the value of the grant and what is it for?

This scheme offers a grant of €15,000 towards the purchase, leasing, long-term hire (ALD), rental or operational lease of a 100 per cent electric vehicle.

Where the electric vehicle is valued at less than €15,000, organisations may use the remaining funds to purchase ancillary equipment for the vehicle.

What is meant by ‘equipment to support the electric vehicle’?

Equipment to support the electric vehicle includes, amongst other things: domestic chargers, solar panels for energy generation, charging cards for the electricity grid and other products related to electric mobility.

How many organisations will receive the grant?

The EDP Foundation will donate €15,000 to a maximum of 20 social organisations.

What are the criteria for selecting beneficiaries?

The 20 applications must meet all the requirements set out in the Programme Regulations, with those achieving the highest score being selected based on the following criteria: number of direct beneficiaries; estimated annual mileage; number of project partnerships; number of people in the local community affected; number of social initiatives targeting the same audience; percentage of the application funded by guaranteed own funds; percentage of costs saved through the use of the electric vehicle.

When will the results be announced?

The final selection of approved projects will be announced by 26 February 2027.

Can I apply for funding of less than €15,000?

No. The vehicle and associated support assets must be worth €15,000 or more.

If the value of the vehicle and support assets exceeds the grant awarded by the EDP Foundation, organisations must cover the difference from their own funds.

Can I submit joint applications?

Yes. Joint applications will be subject to a specific assessment, as set out in the Programme Regulations.

How many applications can an organisation submit?

Each organisation, or group of organisations, may submit only one application.

What types of vehicles can be funded through this support?

The €15,000 grant is intended for the acquisition of a 100% electric light or heavy-duty vehicle, whether new or used, through direct purchase, finance leasing or long-term hire services, including so-called ALD, renting or operational vehicle hire.

Is the grant only available to fund new 100% electric vehicles?

No. The grant can be used to fund 100% electric vehicles, whether new or second-hand.

Can the grant only be used to finance 100% electric vehicles?

No. If the electric vehicle is worth less than €15,000, organisations may use the remaining funds to purchase ancillary equipment for the vehicle.

In the case of joint applications, will the selected organisations be subject to additional obligations?

Yes. In the case of joint applications, the electric vehicle will be contracted by all the organisations, and if purchased, it will be held in joint ownership with equal shares. The selected organisations will share the use of the electric vehicle and must appoint a single representative to act as the point of contact.

How is the EDP Foundation’s support for a project formalised?

The EDP Foundation will sign a Collaboration Agreement with each selected organisation, setting out the rights and obligations of each party, as well as the conditions necessary for the support to be provided, including the disbursement schedule and the obligations to be undertaken by the beneficiary.
