Purchase Subsidies	Italy - Purchase Subsidies Incentives are granted to consumers who purchase cars emitting up to 60 g/km of CO2 (so the measure actually supports the purchase of BEVs and of few PHEVs models which are the only compliant with the 60 g/km treshold). The amount of the incentive depends on whether the beneficiary ensures the scrapping of a car from Euro 0 to Euro 4. Without scrapping: - vehicles emitting from 0 to 20 grams per kilometre of CO2 receive an incentive of 4.000 euros; - vehicles emitting from 21 to 60 grams per kilometre of CO2 receive an incentive of 1.500 euros. In case of scrapping: - vehicles emitting from 0 to 20 grams per kilometre of CO2 receive an incentive of 6.000 euros; - vehicles emitting from 21 to 60 grams per kilometre of CO2 receive an incentive of 2.500 euros. Temporary increase from August 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020: The increase in premiums will apply from August 1 until the end of 2020 for electric and hybrid vehicles up to a gross list price of 61,000 euros. Specifically, without scrapping purely electric vehicles will be subsidised with 6,000 euros during this period instead of the previous 4,000 euros. Anyone who scraps their old combustion engine in connection with the purchase of the electric vehicle will even receive 10,000 euros (previously 6,000 euros). Hybrids with CO2 emissions of between 21 and 60 grams per kilometer will be subsidized with 3,500 euros or 6,500 euros if an old car is decommissioned at the same time. These rates were previously 1,500 and 2,500 euros respectively. The increased incentives are financed partly by the state and partly by the car manufacturers.
Ownership Tax Benefits	Italy - Ownership Tax Benefits Electric vehicles are exempt from the annual ownership tax for a period of five years from the date of their first registration. After this five‐year period, they benefit from a 75% reduction of the tax rate applied to equivalent petrol vehicles in many regions.
Infrastructure Incentives	Italy - Infrastructure incentives Tax credit granted to taxpayers who install EV charging infrastructures up to 22 kW. It amounts to 50% of the purchase and installation cost up to EUR 3.000, to be split into ten equal annual tranches.
Procurement	Italy - Public procurement According to Italian budget law for 2020, public administrations when renewing their fleet have to reserve a 50% quota for the purchase or rental of electric, hybrid or hydrogen vehicles.
