Slovenia has launched a new subsidy scheme for the purchase of brand-new fully electric vehicles.
The support extends not only to cars but also to two- and three-wheeled vehicles.
The eligible range includes passenger cars (M1), vans (N1), mopeds, light vehicles, and motorcycles.
Specifically, subsidies apply to vehicles in categories M1, N1, L7e, L6e, L5e, L4e, L3e, L2e, and L1e-B.
Notably, the purchase of a second-hand electric transporter is also eligible for support.
| Subsidy amount | Vehicle category | Sales price |
| 7,200 euros | New vehicle class M1 | Up to 35,00 euros |
| 6,500 euros | New vehicle class N1 | Up to 45,00 euros |
| 6,500 euros | New vehicle class M1 | Over 35,000 up to 45,00 euros |
| 4,500 euros | New vehicle class N1 | Between 45,000 and 65,000 euros |
| 3,000 euros | Used vehicle class M1 or N1 | Up to 45,00 euros |
| 2,000 euros | Used vehicle class M1 or N1 | Between 45,000 and 65,000 euros |
| 1,500 euros | New vehicle class L7e | No limit |
| 1,000 euros | New vehicle class L6e | No limit |
| 750 euros | New vehicle class L5e, L4e or L3e | No limit |
| 500 euros | New vehicle class L2e | No limit |
| 300 euros | New vehicle class L1e-B | No limit |
The new funding programme has a total budget of 9.2 million euros.
It is split into 5.2 million euros for private individuals and four million euros for legal entities, sole traders, and individuals engaged in business activities.
There are eleven different subsidy levels, which are staggered according to vehicle category.
Electric cars (M1 class) costing over 45,000 euros (incl. VAT) are not eligible. For electric vans (N1 class), the cap is 65,000 euros.
Interestingly, lower-cost models receive slightly higher subsidies than mid-range ones: The maximum grant of 7,200 euros is only available for M1 vehicles priced up to 35,000 euros. Those priced between 35,000 and 45,000 euros are eligible for a subsidy of 6,500 euros.
Private individuals can apply for the purchase grant from 2 September. Other applicants must wait until 7 October.
Applications may also be submitted retroactively for vehicles bought since 1 January 2025.
Background
Slovenia has repeatedly offered incentives for electric car purchases in recent years.
This call is similar to one launched in August 2024, in which funding thresholds and grant amounts were raised compared to earlier rounds.
