Practical example: if we install a column in the garage, we can benefit from a bonus of80%, up to a spend of 1,500 euros. But if the expense exceeds this amount, for example if the cost of the wallbox is 2.400 euro + VAT you receive a bonus of only 80% on the taxable amount of 2,400, equal to 1,500 euros, that is to say 1,200 euros.
