5. Order of 15 July 2026
amending the Order of 14 December 2023 laying down the list of versions of electric passenger cars that have achieved the minimum environmental score required to be eligible for certain grants for the purchase or leasing of low-emission vehicles

6. New electric passenger cars

8. This amending Order updates the list of passenger car versions that have achieved the score according to the new methodology that came into effect on 8 April 2025. It adds 62 versions to the more than a thousand versions already included in the amended decree, of 14 December 2023.

9. This amending Order updates the list of passenger car versions that have achieved the score according to the new methodology that came into effect on 8 April 2025. It adds 62 versions to the more than a thousand versions already included in the amended decree, of 14 December 2023.

9a. This policy measure aims to ensure that subsidies for the purchase of new electric passenger cars and certain tax provisions are given priority for cars achieving the minimum environmental score, i.e. the most environmentally sound, in accordance with national and European objectives for decarbonising and reducing the environmental footprint of the vehicle fleet. Regularly updating the list of Types, Variants and Versions (TVV) that meet the minimum environmental score ensures the effectiveness of the system by taking into account the continuous evolution of manufacturers' offerings. The system is based on an objective and transparent methodology, applied consistently to all vehicles concerned.

9b. The measure does not introduce a prohibition on placing new electric passenger cars on the market or restrict their circulation, but only conditions eligibility for certain public subsidies and adjusts the assessment of certain tax provisions. Updating the list of TVVs that meet the minimum environmental score, established by the Order, of 14 December 2023, through an amending order, constitutes the least restrictive measure for ensuring a uniform, transparent, and objective application of this system.

9c. The effects of the environmental score on the internal market remain limited and proportionate, since this system does not restrict the marketing or import of the vehicles concerned, but only regulates access to certain subsidies for the purchase of new electric cars and the assessment of certain tax provisions. The requirements applied are based on objective and non-discriminatory criteria, identical for all manufacturers. In light of the national and European objectives for reducing carbon footprints, the expected environmental benefits outweigh the limited administrative burdens imposed by the system.
