Interactive map – Electric vehicle purchase incentives per country in Europe (2021 update)

Key observations

• Across the European Union, purchase incentives for electrically-chargeable vehicles (ECVs) still differ greatly per country, both when we look at the nature of these tax benefits as well as their monetary value.
• This year, 17 countries offer purchase incentives (such as bonus payments or premiums) to buyers of ECVs – down from 20 in 2020.
• 10 EU member states do not provide any purchase incentives for electric cars at the moment – that is four countries more than last year.
  • Belgium (10.7% ECV market share)
  • Bulgaria (n/a)
  • Cyprus (0.5% ECV market share)
