The 2023 incentives for electric cars offer the possibility of obtaining benefits for the purchase of electric vehicles. In the e-mobility trend guide, the EOS team will answer all your questions to better understand how the 2023 incentives work and who can benefit from them in Lombardy.
Who can benefit from the 2023 incentives for electric car purchases?
The incentive is aimed at individuals residing in Lombardy who want to purchase a low-emission vehicle from an authorized dealer in the region. Basically, if you're a resident, you can apply for this tax advantage, but only one application per family is allowed.
How does the application process work, and when should it be done?
The authorized dealer or seller will handle the application and request the regional contribution on behalf of the citizen. In a nutshell, if you want to take advantage of the incentive, your seller will directly provide you with the contribution, and they'll get reimbursed by the region. As for the timing, you can benefit from the incentive until October 31, 2023, but it's advisable to act quickly as the contribution is granted on a first-come, first-served basis until the budget runs out.
How much incentive can you receive?
The amount deducted from the purchase of the new vehicle depends on the type of vehicle you buy and whether you own a polluting vehicle that you want to scrap. If you choose to say goodbye to a gasoline car with an emission class up to Euro 2 or Euro 5 that you currently own, you'll receive a higher contribution. As for zero-emission electric cars, you can benefit from an incentive of up to a maximum of €4,000, deductible from the list price of the base model, up to a maximum of €45,000.
It's also important to know that to be eligible for the incentive, you must meet certain criteria. For example, you need to register the car in the name of the beneficiary of the contribution and maintain ownership for at least 24 months. For more detailed information, you can directly check the Lombardy Region's website.
In conclusion, if you're interested in purchasing an electric car and can't wait to contribute to the transition to electric mobility, this is the perfect opportunity to save on the purchase of a new, eco-friendly vehicle.
