Incentives for the purchase of electric mopeds and motorcycles will also be allocated in 2024: the total amount of the ecobonus is 45 million euros. The deadline for requests is set for today, January 23rd.

Starting from January 23, 2024, it is possible to post on the platform ecobonus.mise.gov.it applications to take advantage of the 2024 incentives for electric motorcycles and scooters. The amount of the ecobonus for electric two-wheeled vehicles is 45 million, while another 5 million is available for combustion engine vehicles.
The Decree of the President of the Council of Ministers of 6 April 2022, for the year 2024, provides for the overall allocation of 610 million euros, 15 of which are intended for electric motorcycles and scooters. Added to these funds are 30 million euros for electric motorbikes and scooters allocated with the law of 30 December 2020. The total for the year 2024 thus becomes 45 million, ten more than those allocated in 2023.
