With the implementation of the Plan, the Ministry of Transport contributes to the implementation of the Government's policy for a gradual transition to green transport and sustainable mobility and reduction of the environmental impact of transport . The national goal is that by 2030 25% of new vehicle registrations will be electric with the ultimate goal of increasing this percentage to 100% by 2035. The huge public response to the Electric Vehicle Sponsorship Plan shows in practice that the goal this can be achieved, as the ministry notes.
Evaluation of applications
In the next few days, the evaluation of the applications will begin and the beneficiaries will be informed about the pre-approval of their application. It is reminded that, if the application is pre-approved, the beneficiary has a time limit of two months to present proof of order of the new / used electric vehicle and a time limit of 12 months for registration of the electric vehicle. The sponsorship is given with the registration of the vehicle, within 12 months from the final approval.
Buy an Electric Bicycle
In addition to car traffic, the next steps of the Ministry of Transport include the Sponsorship Plan for the Purchase of Electric Bicycles that will be implemented on January 17, 2022. More details will be announced at a later stage.
