Italy’s EV Incentive Rollout Hits Snag as ‘Click Day’ Dropped and Launch Timing Remains Unclear

The PNRR‑funded scheme offers dealer‑applied grants—up to €11,000 for households, up to €20,000 for micro‑enterprises.

Overview

  • Reports from major outlets said the Sogei portal scheduled to open on October 15 was postponed, while ministry sources told ANSA there is no delay and that a tutorial will be published in place of a click day.
  • The ministry cited a roughly 30‑day window from dealers’ opening on September 23, yet no new activation date for consumer registrations has been announced.
  • Private buyers qualify by ISEE band for up to €11,000 with scrappage, and micro‑enterprises can receive up to €20,000 for electric commercial vehicles within the 30% price cap and de‑minimis rules.
  • Access requires scrapping a thermal vehicle up to Euro 5, with an anti‑fraud rule that the applicant has been the first registrant of the vehicle to be scrapped for at least six months.
  • Eligibility is limited to residents or legal seats in functional urban areas over 50,000 inhabitants, with a total allocation of €597 million reported for the program.
