Who could receive the incentive, and for which cars

Status of the call

The application window of the second phase was open until 27 July 2026 at 17:59 at the latest, and it has ended. This page describes, in the past tense, what the notice required; it does not invite anyone to apply.

Who could receive the incentive

For typology 1, only private individuals, IPSS, transport authorities and local authorities were eligible for the incentive; this page describes private individuals. The incentive covered the whole national territory. Applicants had to have their tax and social security situation regularised.

In each of the typologies for which the notice set this limit (1, 3, 4, 5 and 6), a private individual was limited to one incentive; this page describes typology 1 only. The numbers of incentives for the different categories of vehicle were not cumulative: the same beneficiary could receive incentives of more than one category at the same time, up to the stated limits.

Which cars met the conditions

A new 100% electric car was a new, exclusively electric passenger car of category M1 as classified by the IMT, duly type-approved, whose first acquisition and registration were made in the beneficiary's name after 1 January 2025. Eligible cars were those put into use by a purchase contract after 1 January 2025 or by a financial leasing contract concluded after that date with a minimum duration of 24 months; other forms of rental were not accepted.

The scrapping condition

The incentive was due for both conditions: the new car and the scrapping of a fossil-fuel car more than 10 years old. The scrapping had to have occurred after 1 January 2023, and the scrapped vehicle had to be of the same category as the vehicle acquired.

The price caps

Cars whose final acquisition cost, including VAT and all associated expenses, exceeded €38,500 were not eligible. For passenger cars with more than 5 seats, the cap was €55,000, including VAT and all associated expenses.

What the beneficiary had to keep

After receiving the incentive, beneficiaries had to keep possession of the vehicle for a period of not less than 24 months from the date of acquisition, and they could not export it. This page does not say whether the incentives ran out before the window ended or whether a new call will be published.
