I circa 57 million hijacked by the Extrabonus to relaunch the Ecobonus again are finished in a matter of days. At this point, with the fund that has run out, incentives for electric and plug-in cars they can no longer be requested. The reason for the exhaustion of economic resources in a very short time can probably be explained with the many orders which had been accumulated by the concessionaires during the period in which the Ecobonus was “put on hold” before the Government decided to reallocate the Extrabonus funds.

Once the possibility of being able to book contributions has been given again, the dealerships must have “invaded” the booking platform, rapidly draining the available resources. The fact, however, is that the incentives for electric and plug-ins have ended. This means that the market for these cars could suffer a sharp slowdown. The Ecobonus was essential to support the sales of these cars given their high costs. All this happens at a time when the auto market is in great difficulty.

The premature exhaustion of the Ecobonus shows that people and companies are interested in these vehicle categories. It could also be seen in the monthly sales figures with the shares of the BEV and PHEV models growing. That the funds could be terminated early was a scenario, however, that the trade associations had already feared, so much so that they had asked the Government a long-term project to structure incentives, setting aside defined “stop and go” measures that require continuous interventions. Therefore, always have certainty about the resources available for incentives that can accelerate the transition towards cleaner mobility.
Now the ball goes to the Government. It will be interesting to understand how it will move and if it will work to somehow refinance the Ecobonus for electric and plug-ins or if we will have to wait for the next Budget Law. Nothing changes, however, for the bonuses dedicated to cars in the 61-135 g / km of CO2 range. There are still around 100 million euros available for these cars.
