Domestic charging station bonus: applications starting from 22 September

MILAN - Reminder set for 12pm on September 22nd: from that moment on you will be able to apply for the "column bonus", the initiative launched by Mimit for "the installation of electric charging infrastructure for private use".

Here is the application platform (at the address: https://www.invitalia.it/incentivi-e-strumenti/bonus-colonnine-domestiche), managed by Invitalia on behalf of the ministry. "With this measure - the owner of Mimit, Adolfo Urso, commented - we support consumers and, at the same time, the Italian supply chain. In fact, 54% of the new generation charging infrastructures installed in Italy are produced in our country. Every euro invested in the charging network therefore also supports Italian manufacturing, employment and our technological supply chains".

How much is it worth

The contribution covers 80 percent of the expenses: both the purchase and installation of charging infrastructure are incentivized, up to a maximum of 1,500 euros for each individual requesting person. The limit rises to 8,000 euros for interventions carried out on the common areas of condominium buildings.

For the so-called Domestic Column Bonus the allocation is 68 million euros until 2030.

Who can apply

The bonus is intended for domestic users, i.e. natural persons resident in Italy, and condominiums if the columns are installed on parts of common use. Therefore, owners of sole proprietorships or companies are excluded. For businesses and public administrations there are Mase's Pnrr programmes.

How to apply

According to the previous Invitalia FAQs, the application can be submitted exclusively via the online platform, after accessing via the public digital identity system (SPID), electronic identity card (CIE) or national services card (CNS). Once logged in, you can proceed to fill out the electronic form by following the guided procedure.
