How to apply for car incentives 2025?

The 2025/2026 car incentives are a reality with the publication of the Decree in the Official Gazette. Compared to the previous rounds, access to the 2025/2026 car incentives will not only be linked to the scrapping of a vehicle up to Euro 5, the purchase of an electric car with a maximum price of 42,700 euro and an ISEE within 40,000 euro, but also to the address of residence or registered office for micro-businesses. Because the application for incentives can only be made for those who live in a functional urban area. What are they? As defined by Istat, on whose website all recognised Fua can be found, a functional urban zone is a city with its own commuting area.

Another substantial change with the past comes from how to apply for the 2025 car incentives. It will no longer be handled by the dealership, but the individual buyer will have to register on the platform being developed by Sogei (a company controlled by the Ministry of the Economy) and the contribution - 11 thousand euro with Isee not exceeding 30 thousand euro and 9 thousand euro if Isee higher than 30 thousand euro but not exceeding 40 thousand - will be granted as a direct discount at the time of purchase.
