Electric vehicle subsidy: check application and status

Check old applications, notices, portal status and documents. There is no open new-application path for a BAFA purchase grant.

5 steps to classify the case

  1. Clarify the case

    Separate a new electric-car purchase, old application, notice, authority question or ongoing ownership benefit. There is no open new-application path for a BAFA purchase grant.

    Tip: If you do not have an old application or notice, start with GHG quota, vehicle tax, E-plate and charging infrastructure.

  2. Check status or notice

    Use the available confirmation of receipt, portal status, notice or authority question. Check which evidence the authority asks for in that existing case.

    Tip: Save reference numbers, portal messages and deadlines separately from provider documents.

  3. Gather documents

    Prepare only the documents needed for your existing case or next EV route: notice, vehicle documents, portal message or evidence for an ownership benefit.

    Tip: Use the documents page as a checklist and do not delete anything from an active authority account.

  4. Choose the next step

    If no running application exists, GHG quota, vehicle tax, E-plate, charging infrastructure and the provider route are the next useful paths.

    Tip: Providers can help with comparison, but they are not official evidence for subsidy eligibility or tax notices.

  5. Do not assume new amounts

    Do not plan with a fixed new purchase grant unless you have a current official approval. Private provider values belong only to the provider route.

    Tip: Check open questions in the FAQ and switch to GHG quota or vehicle tax for ownership topics.
