Domestic charging station bonus, how it works

In the case of installations on common parts of condominium buildingsthe spending limit rises to 8 thousand euros. Only one application per beneficiary is allowed in order to obtain the benefit.
The contribution is specifically intended for the purchase of new factory infrastructures, of standard power, installed in Italy and intended exclusively for the use of the beneficiaries. Infrastructure must be installed according to best practices and must be accompanied by a declaration of conformity.

The single national platform arrives
Meanwhile, Italy still proves to be a country that wants to expand its network of electric charging stations: in recent days the single national platform to identify them.
The new portal will give motorists the opportunity to orient themselves through the electric car charging network, with information from the status of the station to the manager. By the end of the year, the site will also be accompanied by an application for mobile devices, which will help owners of electric cars during travel.
