Under the 2020 Budget, DoT secured funding to support a reduced tolling scheme for LEVs, broadening the previous Electric Vehicle Toll Incentive Scheme. This LEV Scheme will be funded under the Carbon Reduction Programme, with the objective of reducing transport emissions and building a climate resilient low carbon transport sector by 2050. The tolling Scheme will be administrated by Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) on behalf of DoT.
The Scheme is referred to as the ‘Low Emissions Vehicle Toll Incentive (LEVTI) Scheme’.
The Scheme is an expansion on the previous Electric Vehicle Toll Incentive Scheme that commenced in June 2018; it will run until December 31st 2022 (or up to a maximum of c. 50,000 LEVs).
The allocation for the Scheme in 2020 is up to a maximum of €1,500,000. Each year funding for the Scheme will be determined by DoT. The Scheme rules and applicable incentives / refunds are subject to change, with the new refunds and relevant terms and conditions being determined by DoT in advance of the calendar year.
