In 2023, the Government decided to invest 700 thousand euros to help charge electric cars and plug-in hybrid vehicles, a measure that halts the announced increase in the rates of the Electric Mobility Network Management Entity, Mobi.E.
“For the sake of maintaining the decision to freeze tariffs at 2021 rates, the amount of 700 thousand euros was currently considered,” an official source from the Ministry of Environment and Climate Action told ‘ECO’.

This amount is provided for in the Environmental Fund and, according to the Government, support may be reinforced during the year “depending on the availability of the Environmental Fund”.
According to the publication specializing in economic affairs, since January 1, 19.02 cents have been supported per charge on the rate paid to electricity suppliers for electric mobility (CEME), who then have to share this effect with their customers. If this support did not advance, there would be a “57% increase” in the rate paid by CEME to Mobi.E compared to 2022, according to the ‘ECO’.
Even so, it is already known that charging support is less significant than in 2022, since for 2023, the Energy Services Regulatory Authority (ERSE) defined a fee of 26.08 cents per charge, which corresponds to a support of 72.9% of the tariff. However, last year, ERSE defined a tariff of 29.64 cents, with support of 26.14 cents, which corresponds to 88.2% of the rate.
