5. Amendment to Regulation No 3 of the Minister for the Environment of 1 February 2023 on the conditions and procedure for granting support for the purchase of zero-emission vehicles

6. Zero-emission vehicles

7.

8. The draft regulation amends the conditions for granting support for the purchase of zero-emission vehicles. The aim of the grant for electric vehicles is the reduction of CO₂ and other emissions of the transport sector in Estonia and thereby the improvement of the environmental condition as well as the promotion of the uptake of alternative fuels in order to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. The aim of the grant is also to incentivise individuals to switch from fossil fuel vehicles to zero-emission vehicles.

Legal persons registered in Estonia and natural persons holding an Estonian personal identification code can apply for the grant. Support will be provided for the purchase of all-electric (including hydrogen fuel cell) passenger cars and light vans, while grants for box bikes will be discontinued. The purchase subsidy for one fully electric passenger car and a small van is 4 000 euros for a legal person and 5 128.21 euros for a natural person as of 1 January 2025 due to the increase in income tax to 22 %. In addition, a natural person can apply for support for the acquisition of an electric car up to five years old for up to 25 % of the purchase price, but not more than 5 128.21 euros. As an additional option, both legal and natural persons can apply for additional support for deleting a scrapped car from the traffic register – 1 500 euros and 1 923.08 euros, respectively.

Since the purpose of the support is to reduce CO₂ emissions in Estonia, the M1 and N1 vehicles acquired with the grant must be driven mainly on the territory of Estonia. The support is mediated by the Environmental Investment Centre (EIC). The budget of the measure is 9 million euros (balance of 1.44 million euros as of 30 December 2024), which also covers the administrative costs related to the organisation of the implementation of the measure. The funds for the grant come from the proceeds from the auctioning of greenhouse gas emission allowances in the European Union Emissions Trading System.

9. Grant for the purchase of electric vehicles with the main aim of reducing CO₂ emissions in Estonia and promoting electric transport.
