Have you been waiting for the Environmental Fund program to buy an electric car? Well, we have bad news! The Environment Fund reports that an incentive to purchase zero-emission vehicles is not expected in the Environment Fund’s 2024 budget.
The incentive to buy zero-emission vehicles is gone
According to a memorandum published by the Environment Fund, “an incentive to purchase zero-emission vehicles is not expected in the Environment Fund’s 2024 budget.” We must remember that the previous government promised to continue support for the purchase of electric cars. But according to information, there is no money for this incentive.
It must be remembered that in 2023, there were about 10 million euros for the programme, of which 5.2 million euros went directly to 1,300 electric vehicles, at a rate of four thousand euros per vehicle, and the remaining 4.8 million were divided between light goods electric vehicles, electric bicycles and unit chargers. Housing, among other types of support.
In the 2024 state budget, the previous government revealed “a new program to encourage the disposal of end-of-life vehicles and replace them with low-emission vehicles or more sustainable mobility solutions.” However, the Environment Fund states that there will be no budget for such a programme.
