Subsidies for electromobility in the EU
For 2024, subsidies for the development of electric vehicle charging station infrastructure in Europe can vary significantly depending on the country and the level of government support. Specific subsidy amounts and funding conditions may vary depending on regional and national support programmes as well as political and economic factors.
- Germany has a funding programme called the ‘Federal Funding Programme for Charging Station Infrastructure’. This programme provides subsidies for the construction and operation of charging stations. The size of the subsidy can be up to 50 % of the total cost of installing a charging station.
- In the Netherlands, there is a scheme that provides funding for up to 80 % of the cost of installing charging stations in public places (e.g. car parks, shopping centres, etc.).
- France also has a programme to subsidise the installation of charging stations. The country is seeking to install a significant number of charging stations not only in cities but also on motorways. Subsidy amounts and funding conditions may vary depending on the region and the type of infrastructure.
- For 2024, subsidies for the development of electric vehicle charging station infrastructure in Poland, Slovakia and the Czech Republic may vary in form and level of support:
- In Poland, there is state support for the development of charging station infrastructure. Subsidies may include partial compensation for the cost of installing stations for both private individuals and commercial operators. Support may also include tax breaks or subsidies for new charging technologies.
Initiatives to support infrastructure for electric vehicles are also underway in Slovakia. Government programmes can provide subsidies or grants for the installation of charging stations, especially in public places such as shopping centres, hotels and public car parks. These measures aim to reduce costs and encourage the use of electric vehicles.
