Italy will reopen applications for the 2026 bonus for private electric-vehicle charging infrastructure at 12:00 on 22 September 2026. The scheme supports the purchase and installation of private chargers, with applications handled through Invitalia.
The contribution covers 80% of eligible purchase and installation costs. The maximum contribution is 1,500 euro for an individual applicant and 8,000 euro for a condominium installation in common areas.
The distinction between the two caps is the first point for readers to check. An individual claim is capped at 1,500 euro, while the higher 8,000 euro ceiling applies to a condominium. Condominium administrators and co-owners considering a shared installation should therefore assess the project at building level, rather than assuming the individual limit applies.
The second point is timing, because the scheme uses two different windows. For the 2026 cycle, eligible installations must be completed between 26 June and 31 December 2026. The application window is separate: from 12:00 on 22 September 2026 until 12:00 on 31 January 2027.
In practical terms, the installation must already fall inside the June-to-December completion period, while the application itself can be submitted from late September through the end of January. Readers planning work near the end of the year should keep that separation in mind, so the completion date and the submission deadline are not confused.
Eligible applicants are individuals resident in Italy and condominiums, according to Invitalia. The measure is managed by Invitalia and promoted by the Ministry of Enterprises and Made in Italy.
Il Mattino reports a stated multi-year allocation of 68 million euro through 2030 for the measure. That overall allocation figure is reported in the press account and was not confirmed in the Invitalia material reviewed for this article.
Because the material reviewed does not detail the complete list of eligible expenses or the full documentation required for submission, applicants should not rely on this article for a checklist of paperwork. As a general precaution only, and not as a rule of the scheme, it is prudent to keep personal records organized until the official instructions are consulted.
