80 per cent of the costs for the purchase and installation of a domestic charging point, up to a maximum of €1,500 for individuals and €8,000 for blocks of flats: is the amount covered by the Charging Point Bonus, set to launch on Tuesday 22 September at 12 noon on the Invitalia platform, the organisation managing the scheme on behalf of the Ministry of Enterprise and Made in Italy.

Resources in the field

The funding, set by a ministerial decree, totals 68 million euros up to 2030: 10 million are carry-over funds from 2025, 5 million are allocated for 2026, €15 million for each of the years 2027–2029 and €8 million for 2030, the final year of the scheme, which will end on 31 March.

“Today we are taking another step forward in implementing the programme for the sector’s industrial and ecological transition,” said Minister Adolfo Urso, pointing out that 54 per cent of the new-generation charging infrastructure installed in Italia is manufactured in the country.

Infrastructure

The infrastructure must be brand new and installed on land over which the beneficiary has full control: for individuals, for exclusively private use; for blocks of flats, for the collective use of the residents; in both cases, the premises must not be accessible to the public.

Expenses relating to electrical installations, strictly necessary building works, design, site supervision, testing and the commissioning of a new connection point (Pod) for connection to the grid are also eligible for the grant. Excluded are taxes and duties, consultancy fees not provided for in the decree, expenditure on land and property, and fees for planning permission.

How to apply

The application must be submitted online using SPID, CIE or CNS, attaching proof of identity, electronic invoices, bank statements confirming traceable payments, the installer’s declaration of conformity and a valid PEC address for the entire duration of the procedure.

In the case of block of flats, a resolution passed by the owners’ meeting authorising works on the common parts is also required, accompanied by a statement from the property manager certifying that no objection to the resolution has been lodged within the time limits laid down by law. Each applicant may submit only one application, with the option to resubmit it a second time if the first is deemed inadmissible.

Eligible expenditure begins on 26 June 2026, whilst the reference year for the grant is determined by the date of completion of the installation: for 2026, this is the period up to 31 December; for subsequent years, it is the corresponding calendar year. From 2027, the devices must also comply with the technical requirements set out in ARERA Resolution 541/2020/R/eel and be included in the official list published by the GSE.

No more applications once funds run out

Applications are processed in chronological order of receipt and, should funds run out, payments will cease until the scheme reopens for the following financial year. The grant is paid in a single instalment by means of a grant award decree, whilst Invitalia will carry out random checks on the accuracy of the declarations: in the event of irregularities, the Ministry may order the total or partial withdrawal of the grant, with the obligation to repay the sums within sixty days.
