2024.

.
How to apply for Ecobonus Auto 2024
The Ecobonus request must be made by the dealer through the Ecobonus platform, which manages incentive reservations. Once the availability of funds has been confirmed, the dealer will apply the discount directly to the buyer at the time of purchase. The procedure involves the collection of documents such as the ISEE declaration and the confirmation of the scrapping,
if required.
How the Incentive Works
The Ecobonus 2024 is applied in the form of a direct discount on the price of the vehicle, booked and managed by the dealer. The seller will recover the amount in the form of a tax credit, which can be used to offset the contributions due to the Revenue Agency. The amounts vary based on the vehicle’s emissions
:
- 0-20 g/km CO2: up to 6,000 euros (resources exhausted).
- 21-60 g/km CO2: up to 4,000 euros.
- 61-135 g/km CO2: up to 2,000 euros.
Incentives for Companies and SMEs
Even small and medium-sized businesses can benefit from incentives for the purchase of electrically powered commercial vehicles. Contributions vary depending on the vehicle category and the scrapping of an obsolete vehicle
.
Allowed Vehicles and Incentivized Models
The Ecobonus 2024 applies to vehicles in the following categories:
- M1: vehicles with emissions between 21-135 g/km of CO2.
- L1e-L7e: motorcycles and mopeds, both electric and non-electric (only for electric models, 2024 funds are still available).
- N1 and N2: commercial vehicles, exclusively electric.
Additional Bonuses for Families with Low ISEE
Families with an ISEE income of less than 30,000 euros can benefit from a 25% increase on incentives for the purchase of vehicles with emissions between 21-60 g/km of CO2. For example, the incentive for a plug-in hybrid car can reach up to 10,000 euros if a vehicle in the Euro 2 category or higher is scrapped
.
Taxi and NCC Incentives
For taxi and NCC license holders, the Ecobonus is doubled if a green vehicle is purchased by December 31, 2024, with higher contributions than private buyers.
The Ecobonus Auto 2024 represents a great opportunity for those who want to buy a low-emission vehicle. Although many funds have run out, incentives are still available for higher emission ranges and for commercial vehicles. The bonus must be requested through the dealer and the purchase must be made by December 31, 2024
