Overview Of The New Subsidy Call
The Ministry of Transport, Communications and Works is set to announce the fourth round of grants aimed at promoting electromobility in Cyprus under the Recovery and Resilience Plan. Applications will be accepted exclusively online from December 5, 2025, at 09:00 until December 9, 2025, at 09:00.
Streamlined Verification Process
In a significant move backed by European authorities, the Road Transport Department has implemented a simplified verification mechanism. Instead of the previously cumbersome process of disbursing grants, eligibility will now be confirmed upon the completion of vehicle registration. Beneficiaries will have until June 30, 2026, to finalize the registration, thereby expediting program implementation.
