The electric vehicle grant for the purchase of new electric vehicles will follow 2022 and be maintained at €11,000.
First reported by BusinessNow.mt last week, the grant may go up to €12,000 should the buyer scrap their old vehicle.
The same counts for the scheme incentivising the purchase of mopeds, pedelecs and electric bikes.
This year’s grant for plug-in hybrids was utilised by May 2022, however Government is guaranteeing that all those who purchased a plug-in by end-May and is due to have the vehicle delivered in 2023 will be given the grant.
This measure is costing Government some €20 million.

Companies will be encouraged to electrify their fleet by being granted interest-free loans for the purchase of such vehicles and the installation of charging stations.
