Tomorrow Thursday, the application platform for subsidizing the purchase of electric vehicles (cars, two-wheelers, three-wheelers, bicycles) opens, as part of the second round of the “Move electrically” program, announced today the Minister of Environment and Energy Kostas Skrekas and the Secretary General of Energy Alexandra Sduku.
The subsidy for natural persons reaches 30% of the retail price before taxes, while an extra subsidy is provided for the purchase of a home charger as well as if the old car is retired at the same time.
