Inflation has also hit the auto market, driving prices skyrocketing. There are many who cannot afford to buy new cars, thus turning to the used market. But now the situation is changing, thanks to the new incentives for the purchase of electric cars.
The dream of a new car often clashes with the available financial resources. Often the new models are too expensive, and therefore you decide to hold on to an old car rather than buying a latest generation model. Fortunately, there are several families who will be able to buy hybrid or electric cars – which often allow you to park on the blue lines or enter restricted traffic areas – thanks to the new incentives.
The municipality of Milan has in fact made it available as a whole 3 million euros for private individuals of age and residing in Milan on the date of publication of the call, to facilitate the purchase of low-polluting vehicles.
However, there are also other requirements to be met: applicants, for example, must not have disputes underway with the Administration regarding the disbursement of contributions and they must not have benefited from grants for the purchase of vehicles with a lower environmental impact disbursed by the Municipality of Milan in the last three years. In addition, each person will only be able to submit one application for access to incentives.
The contribution is valid only for electric, plug-in and petrol cars (up to 135 g / km of CO2) whose cost does not exceed 45 thousand euros (including accessories, excluding VAT and IPT).
How incentives work
To access the incentive, an old car must also be scrapped (petrol up to Euro 4 and diesel up to Euro 5). The date of purchase is also important, as only cars purchased between 1 January 2022 and 31 December 2022 will be eligible for incentives. For this, you can request the incentive for cars already purchased in the past.
The demolished vehicle must be in the name, or at least jointly, of the same person requesting access to the contribution; the request is valid even if the car is registered in the name of another member of the cohabiting household. The vehicle purchased, on the other hand, must necessarily be in the name or joint name of the same person requesting the contribution and the property must be maintained for at least 5 years from purchase.
Finally, it should be noted that the incentive is also valid for the purchase of electric motorcycles. The general conditions for accessing the contribution are the same as those for cars, including the need to scrap another vehicle, which can also be a moped.
