For years, the government has been promoting electric driving. Until now, however, its benefits could only be enjoyed by business drivers. This will change with the introduction of a subsidy for private individuals who buy an electric passenger car.<\/p>\n

Internet consultation<\/h4>\n

This subsidy had already been announced. Recently, the bill Electric transport grant scheme<\/a> published for internet consultation.<\/p>\n

The aim is to make the purchase of an all-electric passenger car attractive and affordable for every motorist. The bill implements part of the climate agreement. The purchase of zero-emission cars by individuals will be encouraged with the subsidy scheme.<\/p>\n

Grant<\/h4>\n

For 2020 and 2021, the subsidy is \u20ac 4.000<\/strong> For an individual who has a new<\/strong> electric passenger car purchase or private lease. In subsequent years, the subsidy amount is phased out:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
2022<\/td>\n\u20ac 3.700<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
2023<\/td>\n\u20ac 3.550<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
2024<\/td>\n\u20ac 2.950<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
2025<\/td>\n\u20ac 2.550<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

What determines the highest of the subsidy is the date on which the purchase or lease agreement is signed. Per person, the subsidy can only be applied for once.<\/p>\n

The grant scheme will have a ceiling. Once applications exceed this ceiling, no grant will be awarded. The grant will be awarded in order of applications.<\/p>\n

In case of buying the car, the subsidy amount is paid in one lump sum. In the case of leasing, the payment is made in 48 monthly instalments.<\/p>\n

Used car<\/h4>\n

When buying or private leasing a used<\/strong> passenger car, the subsidy in the period from 2020 to 2024 amounts to \u20ac 2.000<\/strong>. After that, no subsidy is provided for a used car.<\/p>\n

A used car must not have been previously registered in the applicant's name, nor in the name of a person who has the same residential address as the applicant on the date of application. For a used car, subsidy can only be applied for on the basis of a purchase agreement concluded with a car company (as referred to in Article 1 of the Registration Regulations).<\/p>\n

The buyer of a used electric passenger car is not entitled to the subsidy if the purchase agreement was concluded before the date of publication of the subsidy scheme.<\/p>\n

Conditions<\/h4>\n

The subsidy only applies to all-electric cars (i.e. not hybrid cars):<\/p>\n
