Possible incentives for the companies are being evaluated LPG/methane retrofit systems. Minister Urso stated that the Ministry is considering the introduction of an incentive for the conversion of old cars in circulation to LPG or methane, but at the moment it is only a hypothesis under study and must be confirmed.

Charging station bonus

In the new Ecobonus, the financing for the bonus relating to the installation of charging stations increases from 40 to 80 million, using resources not used in previous years. The contribution remains unchanged compared to the two-year period 2022-2023, consisting of80% of the purchase pricewith a refund of up to 1,500 euros for the single family unit e 8,000 euros for the condominium.

When do the new incentives come into force?

It is likely that the new car incentives will start from April or even May. The reform is late for one political reason and another bureaucratic. The delay is due to the complexity of the decision process, which involves various ministries and different souls of the majority. Furthermore, changes to the decree must be shared and approved by all the ministries involved, further slowing down the process. Meanwhile, the funds provided for thermal cars have been exhausted for days, while those for electric cars remain unused. Although optimists talk about the reform becoming operational by the second half of March, it is probable that the new developments will be postponed to April or even May, given that the passage of the Court of Auditors and the adaptation of the booking platform will require additional time.
