Eastern European countries offer up to €9,000 subsidy for electric cars
Published
Several countries in Eastern Europe are offering subsidies for electric cars. According to a report by tech-insider.org, buyers in Slovenia can receive up to €7,200. In Croatia the amount is even higher, up to €9,000.
The subsidy mainly goes to the cheapest models. This means that more expensive electric cars benefit less from these schemes. The report does not mention exact conditions, such as which models qualify or how the application works.
Governments often encourage electric driving in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Electric cars do not emit exhaust gases while driving. Through subsidies, countries aim to make the purchase of such cars cheaper for consumers.
For readers in the Netherlands, this news is mainly informative. Anyone considering buying an electric car abroad should check the exact conditions of the schemes themselves with the official authorities of the country concerned.
