Electric cars, Europe "promotes" network expansion/ Which countries offer the largest subsidies for their purchase?
Most European Union countries offer some form of support for the purchase of electric vehicles. However, there are significant differences between them in the level and form of financial assistance.
Italy, Poland and Greece are among the countries offering the largest financial support for citizens buying electric cars in 2025. The new subsidy schemes aim to accelerate the transition to zero-emission vehicles in an effort to meet the European Union's climate targets. By 2030, new vehicle fleets must reduce CO₂ emissions by 55%.
Italy has announced the launch of a new subsidy scheme starting in mid-October 2025. The country offers up to 11,000 euros to individuals, covering up to 30% of the price of a new electric car. This amount depends on the buyer's income and only applies to vehicles priced up to 42,700 euros. Italy has a low share of green car sales, with just 5.2% of the market between January and July 2025, compared to an EU average of around 15%.
Greece and Poland offer around 9,000 euros to individuals who buy electric cars. In Greece, this amount can be increased by 2,000 euros if an old polluting vehicle is handed in and by 1,000 euros if the buyer is younger than 29 years old. In addition, fully electric battery cars are exempt from registration tax and those with low emissions are exempt from circulation tax. From January to July, the market share of these types of vehicles in Greece was 5.3%.
Meanwhile, Nordic countries like Norway and Denmark, while not offering direct subsidies for purchases, have the largest markets for electric vehicles. In Norway, these cars are exempt from VAT, import duties and registration taxes. They also benefit from lower annual taxes, as well as reductions in highway and ferry tolls. In Denmark, people with zero-emission cars pay only 40% of the registration tax.
