Funding Guideline for Electromobility

• Cities, municipalities and districts
• Associations, state authorities
• Municipal and state companies as well as municipal companies and non-profit institutions
• Companies of the commercial economy (e.g. delivery services, craftsmen, nursing services), provided that the municipality confirms that the vehicle procurement is part of a municipal electromobility concept. The current call for proposals focuses on municipal vehicle fleets and public transport (PT) as well as electric vehicles in the taxi trade and in car-sharing fleets. In order to achieve a suitable project size for the application, several similar applicants can join forces and carry out the project together.

• Municipal electric mobility concepts including vehicle procurement and the construction of charging infrastructure
• Electric vehicles and charging infrastructure (usually at least five vehicles should be procured per application)
• Municipal electric mobility concepts
• Environmental studies on the technical suitability, economic viability and environmental benefits of integrating electric mobility into municipal or regional sustainability initiatives or urban development concepts, e.g. for electrifying municipal or commercial fleets, expanding electric vehicle shares in public transport, setting up electric-powered car-sharing systems (also in rural areas), implementing sustainable city logistics concepts with electric-powered vehicles or innovative, electrically operated heavy-duty or goods transport. The funded studies should contain a concrete implementation or procurement plan (studies that expect high multiplier effects will be preferred for approval).

Subsidy.

• For project promotion as a non-repayable investment subsidy (co-financing) and, if approved, limited to a maximum amount
• The funding ratios, funding rates and maximum amounts applicable to all grant recipients during the funding phase are set out in the calls for applications with additional information on the funding guidelines.
• Vehicle procurement in non-competitive areas is generally funded with 75% of the additional investment costs, with 90% for financially weak municipalities.
• The amount of the grant for economically active companies depends on the size of the company and is 40 to 60% of the additional investment costs.
