In order to support the automotive industry in the country, Italy subsidizes up to 6,000 euros for the purchase of electric vehicles. Fully subsidized electric cars must cost under 35,000 euros.
The Italian government has also set aside $9.6 billion for electric car subsidies until 2030. Of which, $775 million is allocated for this year.
Not only that, the Italian government also provides subsidies of up to 2,500 euros to consumers who want to buy hybrid cars. For car owners who have a vehicle with an old production year, they will receive a compensation of 1,250 euros, if they want to dispose of their car.
