To give your company more planning security, it was already officially decided in November 2020 to extend the innovation premium until the end of 2025. This means that the current increased subsidies for electric vehicles can now be applied for from the BAFA (Federal Office of Economics and Export Control) until 2025 instead of only until 2021. It’s worth it: purchase or leasing are each subsidised by up to 6,000 euros.

However, there is also bad news for the hybrid, which is so popular with employees in terms of taxation: the subsidy will be focused on the electric drive. From 2022, plug-in hybrids will only be subsidised in exceptional cases, e.g. if they have a minimum range of 60 kilometres and, from 2025, of at least 80 kilometres. In addition, the application for subsidies can only be made upon submission of the registration certificate and thus after delivery. For hybrid vehicles with a range of less than 60 kilometres ordered in 2021, this could mean that the subsidy will no longer apply if the vehicle is delivered in 2022. Take this into account in your planning.

Electric and hybrid – what subsidies are available?

In addition to contributing to the climate friendliness of your company, the subsidy can also be worthwhile for you financially. In many cases, we are talking about sums of around 5,000 euros per vehicle. Here are the official tables.

This applies to battery electric or fuel cell vehicles

This applies to externally chargeable hybrids
