In recent days we have told you about the ecobonus for electric vehicles, which (as indicated on the website of the Ministry of Business and Made in Italy) can be requested since January 23rd.
E we mentioned that we were waiting for a Prime Ministerial Decree that should have unlocked new car incentives for 2024. The MISE website announced it again, with a press release dated January 2nd, in which we read about a meeting scheduled for February 1st and chaired by Minister Adolfo Urso, to illustrate “the new incentive plan for the automotive sector of next activation.”
The meeting therefore took place, and all the rumors were confirmed. So let’s see how the new 2024 car incentives will be structured.
The 2024 car incentives: the sum allocated
The Mise note, published immediately after the meeting, makes it known that the economic commitment for the 2024 car incentives will be 950 million eurosintended “for the purchase of cars with low polluting emissions”.
In reality, of the total sum, 793 million are intended for cars, 35 million for mopeds, motorcycles and quadricycles, 53 for light commercial vehicles. And then 20 million euros for used cars and 50 million for an experimental long-term rental program.
The 2024 eco-incentive program is expected to come into force by the end of March.
The incentives in detail
For the 2024 car incentives, the amounts will be higher for ISEEs lower than 30,000 euros.
More in detail, for the purchase of an electric car (0 – 20 g/km of CO2 emissions)the contribution is 13,750 with ISEE less than 30,000 euros and simultaneous scrapping of a Euro 2 car. Contribution of 11,000 euros with scrapping but ISEE above the ceiling.
With ISEE less than 30,000 euros, contribution of 12,500 for an electric vehicle with simultaneous scrapping of a Euro 3, contribution of 11,250 if a Euro 4 is scrapped and of 8,000 euros if a Euro 5 is scrapped. The incentive for an electric car it drops to 7,500 euros without scrapping.
For ISEEs above 30,000 euros, contribution of 11,000 euros with scrapping of a Euro 2, 10,000 euros with scrapping of a Euro 3 and 9,000 euros with scrapping of a Euro 4. Incentive of 6,000 euros without scrapping.
Plug-in hybrids (21-60 g/km of CO2 emissions). With ISEE under 30,000 euros contributions of 10,000, 7,500, 6,875 or 5,000 euros (respectively for scrapping of Euro 2, Euro 3, Euro 4 or without scrapping). 5,000 euros even in the case of scrapping a Euro 5. With ISEE above the ceiling, the contributions drop to 8,000, 6,000, 5,500 or 4,000 euros (scrapping Euro 2, Euro 3, Euro 4 or without scrapping).
For them internal combustion cars (61-135 g/km CO2 emissions) The ISEE parameter does not apply. Contributions of 3,000, 2,000 or 1,500 euros (scrapping Euro 2, Euro 3 or Euro 4). In this case it is not possible to obtain contributions without scrapping.
Car price limits and used car news
The price limits of the cars have not changed compared to the previous Ecobonus. The electric and thermal versions cannot cost more than 42,700 euros (35,000 euros + VAT), the plug-in hybrids no more than 54,900 euros (45,000 euros + VAT).
New to the 2024 car incentives is the contribution of 2,000 euros for the purchase of a Euro 6 used car with a value not exceeding 30,500 euros (25,000 euros + VAT), with simultaneous scrapping of a vehicle up to Euro 4 class or lower, owned for at least 12 months.
The 2024 car incentives, another novelty, are also open to legal entities.
The statements
Minister Adolfo Urso expressed his opinion on the new 2024 car incentives: “This new incentive plan for the automotive sector is based on three pillars: the modernization of the Italian car fleet, one of the oldest in Europe; support for the demand of people with lower incomes; the relaunch of vehicle production in Italy. This approach is based on the belief that a profound change of direction is needed compared to previous years.
More ecological sustainability, with an eye on social sustainability, given the particular attention paid to low-income families and companies in the national supply chain, a fundamental part of our Made in Italy”.
