Croatia’s electric vehicle numbers could double by the end of next year, thanks to a newly announced €21.2 million funding call from the Environmental Protection and Energy Efficiency Fund, the Strujni Krug Association said on Friday.
The current programme targets businesses and crafts, while another call worth around €45 million will soon open for taxi operators and delivery vehicles. Together with market purchases, these incentives are expected to significantly boost e-mobility in the country.
“This is a key moment for e-mobility in Croatia. Incentives are a strong push, and our goal is to make the transition to greener transport simple and accessible to everyone,” said Hrvoje Prpić, president of Strujni Krug.
Grants will cover up to 40% of vehicle costs, with a maximum of €90,000 per applicant (up to 10 vehicles). Applications open on October 15 via the eFZOEU platform. Unlike previous years, customers must now apply directly rather than through dealerships, making the process more transparent but also more demanding.
