Frequently Asked Questions About the Electric Vehicle Subsidy 2026

No. The former BAFA Umweltbonus is no longer the open standard route for new applications. Check whether your case is an old application, a notice, GHG quota, vehicle tax, e-plate or charging infrastructure.

Keep the case number, reference number, notice and all requests for additional documents together. Then check whether a status question, deadline, request or other follow-up is still open.

A new purchase grant must not be calculated from old assumptions. The tool is now a status and route checker. It sends your case to application status, documents, GHG quota, vehicle tax, e-plate, charging or providers.

Depending on the case, GHG quota, vehicle tax, e-plate, charging infrastructure, wallbox setup or solar charging can still matter. These routes are separate from the former purchase grant.

No. GHG quota is a separate market and provider route. Providers can support comparison and contact routing, but private payout values are not official subsidy facts.

For old subsidy cases, collect the case number, notice, requests and registration data. For ongoing benefits, the vehicle registration certificate, holder data and route-specific charging or provider documents are usually more relevant.

Use the electric vehicle provider page. It brings together providers for the EV topic family without treating provider data as official subsidy evidence.

For home charging, check charging infrastructure, wallbox setup, grid operator, owner or landlord approval and possibly solar charging. Public or business charging points follow different next steps.

Yes. Depending on the municipality and use case, an e-plate can still be useful. Check the registration or e-plate route, not the old purchase grant.

Start with the status checker. Then open the matching route: application and notice, documents, GHG quota, vehicle tax, e-plate, charging infrastructure or providers.
