If you know of other national or local incentives that should be included in this section, please send us an email and let us know.

Registration tax benefits

Other financial benefits

BEVs, FCEVs and vehicles with alternative powertrains (electric or hydrogen) with CO2 emissions up to 50g/km have been exempt from motorway tolls since 1 January 2020. 

Purchase subsidies

In 2022 companies in the Czech Republic can apply for a subsidy that covers the extra costs of an Electric Car in comparison to a car with a combustion engine. This is applicable for BEVs, PHEV and H2-vehicles, for passenger cars, vans and trucks. The government made 940 Million CZK available for this. For 2023 there still are purchase incentives for low- and zero-emission vehicles by state and local government bodies.
