Kaufprämie 2026 (new-EV purchase bonus): up to €6,000 towards a new electric car — income-tested and for private buyers only. Requirement: taxable household income up to €80,000 (+ €5,000 per child, max. 2). The maximum applies only in the lowest income band and for a list price under €60,000; in practice the grant is usually lower. Not every buyer qualifies — which is why we show the bonus separately and do not include it in the totals above. Source: ADAC / EAFO, as of . Check the grant amount yourself before buying.
