Italy’s EV Incentive Portal Misses 15 October Launch, Click Day Reported for Oct. 22 at Noon

Access is limited to residents and micro‑enterprises in Functional Urban Areas, a constraint that has drawn criticism.

Overview

  • Beneficiary access to the Sogei platform did not open on 15 October, with the ministry posting tutorials for applicants and stating there was no postponement.
  • Some outlets report an official communication setting the opening for Wednesday 22 October at 12:00, while the ministry’s broader messaging remains cautious.
  • Dealers have been able to use the platform since 23 September, but private buyers and micro‑enterprises still cannot log in.
  • The scheme deploys €597 million from the PNRR, offering up to €11,000 for eligible private purchases and up to €20,000 for micro‑enterprises through point‑of‑sale discounts.
  • Eligibility includes scrapping a Euro 5 or older thermal vehicle, ISEE‑based income bands, FUA residency or legal seat, and anti‑fraud rules requiring at least six months’ ownership of the vehicle to be scrapped.
