Electric Car Grant Hits Roads

Get ready to drive electric—starting July 1st, the government’s launching a bold new program offering up to 8,500 euros in grants to trade in old gas or diesel cars for brand-new EVs. That’s 5,000 euros on top of the existing 3,500 euro incentive, with 65% of funding targeted at rural drivers who need it most. Say goodbye to repair bills and motor tax, and hello to hundreds of euros saved annually on maintenance. But remember: only fully electric, not hybrid, and only new cars qualify. Still, with charging infrastructure lagging, especially on highways, the real challenge remains—making the switch easy for everyone.
