However, the usual native ingenuity, which “invents” how to take advantage of aid or subsidies, can fail with the eco-bonus when buying an electric car.
The discount of 6135 euros for car electricity will be given only if it is leased – it will not be possible to pay the full amount and buy it immediately. This is done
to avoid
abuse
with possible
resale
of the new electric car in other countries. said for “24 hours” Hrabrin Ivanchev – Chairman of the AAP (Association of Automobile Manufacturers and their authorized representatives in Bulgaria).
The money is provided for in the draft of the new program “Environment”, released for public discussion before being sent to the European Commission. The incentive will be 30% of the value of the electric car, but not more than 6135 euros. The total aid is 60m euros.
“We have been fighting for this environmental program for more than 15 years. Bulgaria will be the only country that will receive European money as a bonus when buying a new electric car. In other European countries these measures are financed from their budgets “, added Ivanchev.
He expects a boom in the market of new electric cars in our country next year because of the bonus. However, it is only for people living in municipalities with polluted air. According to data from the Ministry of Environment and Water, these are 21 cities – Veliko Tarnovo, Gorna Oryahovitsa, Ruse, Vidin, Vratsa, Montana, Pleven, Shumen, Burgas, Nessebar, Galabovo, Blagoevgrad, Pernik, Sofia (capital), Kardzhali, Pazardzhik, Asenovgrad, Plovdiv, Smolyan, Dimitrovgrad, Haskovo.
There is also a second condition for using the eco-bonus – people living in them must hand over for recycling diesel cars with ecological category pre-Euro or Euro 1.
This category includes cars purchased before January 1, 1997. This means that anyone who returns a scrap diesel car aged 25 or over can apply for the new bonus when buying an electric car.
New mini-models with two seats have already appeared in Europe – for example, Citroen and Opel, which even without the eco-discount cost about 7-8 thousand euros and in some countries are offered even at a symbolic monthly installment of 20 euros. With the inclusion of these models with a mileage of about 70 km and a maximum speed of 45 km / h in the bonus program
their price
will fall almost
up to 5,000 euros
Dacia’s first electric car starts at BGN 33,500 with VAT. With the bonus program, the amount drops to BGN 23,450. It should be noted that this car with 5 seats has a maximum speed of 125 km / h and about 300 km.
The scraping program of the importers’ association initially included plug-in hybrid cars, but in the end there will be a bonus only for all-electric cars.
The Association of Automobile Manufacturers has on several occasions offered an environmental bonus of up to BGN 10,000 to those who buy a new car and return the old one for scrap if it is over 15 years old. The BGN 10,000 were provided for the purchase of an electric car, and BGN 7,500 for a hybrid. There was also a request for assistance in the amount of BGN 5,000 for a car with an internal combustion engine with petrol or diesel with the Euro 6 eco-standard.
In the new program “Environment”
the total budget,
provided for
purification of
air, is
BGN 796.8 million
They should be used for landscaping in urban areas, to improve monitoring.
In the same 21 municipalities, solid fuel heating appliances will be replaced with ecological alternatives. For this purpose, people will be able to apply through the municipalities to receive new appliances for electricity, pellets or gas. Priority will be given to energy-efficient housing, as well as to disadvantaged people and those receiving heating subsidies. The measure is expected to reach more than 100,000 households.
A pilot procedure has been set up to promote innovative methods for heating and energy management, such as gasification, use of renewable energy sources, green hydrogen, etc. Funding here will be for single-family homes, again heated by solid fuel.
Only in five EU countries do they give bigger discounts
Bulgaria is one of the few countries in the European Union that has so far offered no incentives when buying a new car. However, with the new scheme it turns out that our country will be among the most generous, because only in Romania, Hungary, Croatia and France the amount is higher.
V Romania a reduction of EUR 10,000 is given for an electric car. If you take a plug-in hybrid (car with internal combustion engine and electric motor), the discount is 4250 euros. 734 euros is the eco-bonus for a new car with a diesel or petrol engine. In Romania, there is a financial bonus if an old car is scrapped and a new motorcycle is bought.
V Greece 15% of the price of electric cars (up to EUR 5,500) is refunded, plus an additional EUR 1,000 if an old car is scrapped (for 10 years or more). There are also additional incentives for the company’s new cars, which also have an electric motor, and are exempt from taxes if they cost up to 40,000 euros. 30% of the leasing costs for company electric cars and plug-in hybrids are also deducted separately.
As of June 15, 2020, incentives have been introduced for electric cars and c Hungary. They are 7350 euros for cars priced up to 32 thousand euros and 1500 euros for cars up to 44 thousand euros. The company’s electric and plug-in vehicles are exempt from taxes.
V Croatia the bonus for cars only on electricity is 9200 euros and 4600 euros for plug-in hybrids. IN Austria varies from 1250 to 3000 euros for electric cars and their price is up to 60 thousand euros.
Spain approved a 3.75 billion euro plan to promote the car industry. The first tranche of 1.53 billion was disbursed in 2020, and the remaining funds will be provided this year.
The amount of the direct subsidy varies from 400 to 1000 euros depending on the efficiency of the vehicle and is for new cars up to 35,000 euros bought by individuals. The bonuses are not only for electric cars and plug-in hybrids, but also for those on gas and methane, as well as for diesel and gasoline vehicles.
V Italy due to the coronavirus, the bonuses were raised. Purely electric vehicles are subsidized by 6,000 euros instead of 4,000. Anyone who scraps an old car in connection with the purchase of an electric car receives 10,000 euros. Hybrids with carbon dioxide emissions between 21 and 60 g / km are subsidized by 6,500 or 3,500 euros.
V Germany the money is doubled in the form of a new innovation premium. For electric cars, the subsidy is 6,000 euros, which cost up to 40,000 euros, and 5,000 euros at a price of 40,000 to 65,000 euros.
France also increased incentives for a car that can travel at least 50 km in electric mode. Cars and vans emitting less than 20 g of carbon dioxide per km are entitled to a bonus depending on the price and type of customer. 7,000 euros are paid for households for cars under 45,000 euros and 5,000 euros for those costing more than 45,000.
