E-Mobility Funding 2024
E-Mobilitätsförderung 2024
Background information
Austria's greenhouse gas balance shows that emissions in the transport sector fell by 4.6% in 2022 compared to the previous year. In 2023, for the first time, more electric cars than diesel-powered cars were registered, according to data by Statistics Austria. Solely electric cars show a share of 19.9%. In order to further reduce CO2 emissions in the transport sector, the Federal Ministry for Climate Protection (BMK) is continuing its e-mobility offensive in 2024.
Content of measure
Funding is available for the purchase of e-cars for private individuals with up to €5,000, the purchase of an electric motorcycle with up to €2,300. Furthermore, private charging infrastructure can be funded with up to €600 (wallboxes or charging cables) and up to €1,800 for shared systems in multi-party buildings. Publicly accessible charging infrastructure is funded with up to €30,000. The vehicles must be powered by electricity (or hydrogen) from renewable energy sources. Funding is paid out as a non-repayable subsidy and is limited to 50% of the acquisition costs.
In total, €114.5 million in funding are available. In order to further promote the expansion of the charging infrastructure in currently underserved areas, a further €10 million have been made available in a separate funding programme ('LADIN' by the Austrian Research Promotion Agency (FFG), the national funding agency for industrial research and development in Austria).
