As of February 1, 2026 It will be easier to invest in electric car charging. The Swedish Environmental Protection Agency has presented changes to the grant Charge the car, which opens up to more players and bigger bets. This is an important step in making charging accessible to more people — both individuals and businesses.

What do the changes mean?

Higher support and more charging points

Previously, there was a roof on 300 000 euros per group over three years. It is now being removed, making it possible to apply for larger amounts and more chargers. Ideal for strategic investments in charging infrastructure.

Support levels adapted to company size

Small, medium and large enterprises receive different support levels — a model that makes the grant more fair and accessible.

Application before installation

An important rule is that the application must be submitted before the installation starts. This is a requirement under state aid rules and aims to ensure competitive neutrality.

News that makes a difference

Guest car parks and customer spaces

The charger can now also be used for guest parking are covered by the subsidy — a major advantage for property owners and businesses who want to offer charging to visitors.

Charging for business cars

Couriers, healthcare companies and taxi companies can now seek grants to install chargers for their own vehicles. A step towards fossil-free transport in more industries.

Why is this important?

The changes make it easier to deploy charging infrastructure where it is needed most — in multi-family buildings, workplaces and business vehicles. It is part of the green transition and a way to create the sustainable mobility of the future.
