Slovakia’s Ministry of Economy is planning to introduce a range of incentives to encourage people to buy electric vehicles (EV).

The Ministry presented this summer a detailed policy document that set out a number of measures to help it boost the number of cleaner vehicles on the country’s roads.

Specific measures include providing direct subsidies to purchase an EV and for drivers to have no obligation to pay the registration fee.

It is also planning to introduce tax relief measures and Low-Emission Zones, and a shorter depreciation period for companies.
