The countries offering the most generous government subsidies for purchasing electric vehicles (EVs) in 2025 are Italy (starting its scheme in mid-October), closely followed by Poland and Greece, according to Euronews Business' research.
As EV sales are still limited by high prices and a lack of charging stations in Europe, countries have implemented a wide variety of schemes. These aim to boost zero-emission vehicle sales in an effort to meet the EU’s carbon emissions goals. Targets require that fleets of new passenger cars need to reduce their CO2 emission by 55% by 2030.
