This summer, investment support for public, non-public, and private electric vehicle charging was announced in Sweden. The subsidy makes it possible to receive up to 50% (max. SEK 15 000) in support from the government for EV charging infrastructure development. The subsidy is welcome to support as the popularity of BEVs and PHEVs in Sweden continues to grow, and demands on charging infrastructure increase.
