At the end of May, in the so-called “relaunch decree”, the government had allocated 210 million euros to encourage the purchase of bicycles or electric vehicles. The measure was called the mobility bonus and provides for a refund of 60 percent of the purchase price. But there is a but.
Although in theory a refund could be requested from July for purchases made from the beginning of May, in practice it is not yet possible to do so. According to some informal information sent by the Ministry of the Environment to the newspapers, the situation could be unblocked in early September: but the news has not yet been officially confirmed, and the specific section of the ministry’s website will be released on June 11.
At first it seemed that you had to request the refund through an app (it is the version that still appears on the ministry’s website today). A source from the Ministry of the Environment told a Open which can be ordered in a specific section of the ministry’s website, currently in testing – it should be ready by September.
You will need to provide your SPID code, invoice or purchase receipt and the IBAN code of your checking account: the refund should arrive in a couple of weeks. The specialized magazine InSella he writes that “upon receiving the contribution, he will be the first to have made the purchase from May 4, the starting day of the bond, and then we will proceed in chronological order until the 210 million allocated are exhausted.”

At first, Environment Minister Sergio Costa had warned that his ministry had “run out of money”, suggesting that available funds would not be sufficient for all requests. In late July, talk show guest. generalInstead, he had promised that “the funds are for everyone.” A source from the Ministry of the Environment told a Open that if the money runs out, the government will roll over the measure in the next budget law.
It is not yet clear how the incentive will work for those who request it in the days after the launch of the special section of the ministry’s website. At the moment the ministry explains that in the so-called “phase two” there will be “direct discount from the provider of the requested good / service, based on a digital purchase voucher that the beneficiaries can generate in the web application.” But InSella writes that the process appears “uncertain”, since according to the most recent information the refund will no longer be requested through an application.
Previously, the ministry had clarified that the contribution can be requested by all adults residing in regional capitals, in provincial capitals, in municipalities with more than 50 thousand inhabitants and in municipalities of metropolitan cities, even if they are under 50 thousand inhabitants. You can buy bicycles (with or without pedaling assistance), handbike and “predominantly electric personal mobility vehicles” both new and used, while the bonus cannot be used for accessories (eg helmets, batteries, chains, locks). The contribution can be requested until December 31, 2020.
