Car incentives 2023: how to get them and how they work

Car incentives 2023 what do they provide?

In compliance with the DPCM of April 22, 2022, the government has made available again the funds allocated for thecar ecobonus. As of last January 10, it is thus possible to proceed with the reservation of government incentives disbursed – with or without – the scrapping of the old car.

Meeting the identikit of the “eligible applicant” of those 630 million euros in total on the pot are individuals and companies that rent cars or engage in car sharing.

Among the points that can be identified as critical is the disappearance of the surcharge intended for holders of an ISEE of less than 30 thousand euros. In this regard, however, it is useful to remember that in addition to state incentives, there are also concessions in the form of local incentives (regional for example), which can help facilitate the purchase of a new car.

As has been the case in the past, those who scrap an old car will be eligible for a larger discount, which is up to 5,000 euros.

If one is leaning toward scrapping, the indispensable conditions for the success of the operation, which is designed to stimulate the circulation of environmentally friendly vehicles and encourage the transition to sustainable mobility, are as follows:

• That the car to be scrapped belongs to the Euro 0 to Euro 4 class;
• That the car has been owned by the applicant (close to the purchase of the new car) for at least 12 months;
• That the brand-new vehicle belongs to category M1.

The discount with scrapping depends on the_CO2 emission range to which the desired type of car belongs:

Car Type	Fascia emissio-ni	Spending limit	Discount with scrapping	Discount without scrapping
Electric cars, hydrogen and some plug-in hybrids 2023	0-20 g/kmCO2	42,700 € (with VAT and optional extras)	5.000 €	3.000 €
plug-in hybrids 2023	21-60 g/kmCO2	54,900 € (with VAT and optional extras)	4.000 €	2.000 €
gasoline, diesel, LPG and CNG cars	61-135 g/kmCO2	42,700 € (with VAT and optional extras)	2.000 €	/

Let us now look in detail at the issue bands, which are again the category discriminator, and the reference figures.

Car incentives 2023 (0/20 g/Km range)

This bracket includes full electric (bev) cars, the most emission-friendly. The spending limit for purchasing the car is 42,700 euros including VAT and optional extras.

Therefore, not only model and emissions but also the car’s engines and equipment are to be carefully evaluated. Some options, in fact, can raise the level of_CO2 emissions and overshoot the stipulated ranges.

Coming to the discount, if you decide to scrap an old car, it will be 5,000 euros; without scrapping it will stop at 3,000 euros

Car incentives 2023 (21/60 g/Km range, hybrid cars )

For the purchase of cars in this emission bracket, i.e., hybrids and plug-ins, the discount with scrapping comes to 4,000 euros; without scrapping it comes to 2,000 for a total amount of 235 million euros for the category.

The allowable spending limit for the purchase of the new car is 54,900 euros, as always including VAT and optional extras.

In the ecobonus stalls , gasoline, LPG-methane and diesel cars will also count on smaller resources (150 million) and will have access to the discount only after scrapping an old car. The incentive, for this category will reach a maximum of 2,000 euros disbursable only and exclusively to individuals.

In this case, the spending limit for the purchase of a new car is set at 42,700 euros.

How to get the 2023 car bonus? Here is the process to follow

It will once again be car dealerships and dealers who will trigger the process necessary to obtain the 2023 auto incentives, as in the past in fact end users will not be required to complete any steps.

The steps that the dealer or reseller will have to follow are different. It starts with registration on the dedicated platform, again dealers will have to continue with the reservation of the grant which will be followed-if everything is successful-by the confirmation of obtaining the funds.

Then thedisbursement of the actual rebate, deducted from the final price, will take place. This will be followed by the reimbursement of the dealer by the vehicle manufacturer/importer. Finally, it is expected that the dealer will provide the manufacturer/importer with all the necessary documents to recover the subsidy via tax credit.

Electricity column incentives 2023

And now that the car is in place, how do we deal with the column? So far we have no news, although the announcement made months ago now.

As we pointed out in our blog a few weeks ago, what is missing are those implementing decrees that, on par with what we just described for car incentives, regulate the process to be followed to obtain the rebate.

With the result that, as of today, we are still unclear on how to access the 80% discount on purchase and installation of the entire Prism range.

For now, we can only hope that 2023 will bring with it as much good news on the domestic car charger front as well.

Which Prism would you choose to make a convenient and always-available charging station in your home? In the meantime, you could learn more about the comparison between Basic and Solar by reading this article.
