The infographic on the electric vehicle incentive program illustrates the income-based tiered structure for purchasing a battery-electric vehicle, an eligible plug-in hybrid, or an electric vehicle with a range extender.
The income limit is 80,000 euros in taxable annual household income. Tax statements from previous years must be provided as proof. The amount roughly equates to a monthly household net income of 4,800 euros for single people and 5,400 euros for married couples. The income limit increases by 5,000 per child up to 90,000 euros taxable annual household income.
Households earning a maximum of 60,000 euros annual taxable income receive 1,000 euros on top of the basic grant, households earning up to 45,000 euros annual taxable income receive an additional 1,000 euros on top. Furthermore, the grant amount increases by 500 euros per child, with a maximum increase of 1,000 euros. A grant of between 1,500 euros and 6,000 euros may be provided depending on the vehicle type, family size and income. The means-based grant applies equally towards purchase and leasing. This means that a grant of up to 6,000 euros is also provided for leasing BEVs.
