Italy will launch a new incentive campaign for the purchase of electric vehicles (EVs) in September.
The Minister for the Environment and Energy Security, Gilberto Pichetto, announced this on 30 July during a question time session in the Chamber of Deputies.
“The objective is to achieve the purchase of at least 39,000 zero-emission vehicles by 30 June 2026, thanks to a measure that will mobilise approximately 600 million euros in resources, including those from the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR),” the minister said.
During his address, Pichetto explained the details of the initiative, which offers grants of up to 11,000 euros for individuals with an Equivalent Economic Situation Indicator (ISEE) of up to 30,000 euros, and up to 9,000 euros for those with an ISEE between 30,000 and 40,000 euros.
Micro-enterprises may be eligible for coverage of up to 30% of the purchase price, with a maximum of 20,000 euros per new vehicle.
The Ministry is finalising the ministerial decree that will define the criteria and operational procedures, with the aim of having the measure enter into force next September.
“An IT platform will also be created to allow beneficiaries to access the incentives directly and for economic operators to offer new EVs in a simple and transparent manner,” he stated.
The Minister outlined the initiative in response to a question from the Honourable Luca Squeri.
