What is the subsidy to promote the introduction of clean energy vehicles and infrastructure
From the official website of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry , Clean energy vehicles and infrastructure introduction promotion subsidies are subsidies that support the introduction of electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid vehicles, and fuel cell vehicles, and the development of charging and hydrogen charging infrastructure that is essential for their spread. The budget is 37.5 billion yen.
In order to be implemented, the supplementary budget bill will need to be deliberated and enacted at the extraordinary Diet session to be held in December 2021.
Purpose of subsidies for clean energy vehicles
In October 2020, the government aims to realize a decarbonized society by 2050 and reduce greenhouse gas emissions to virtually zero. announced the 2050 Carbon Neutral Declaration.
According to the official website of the Agency for Natural Resources and Energy, the industrial policy "Green Growth Strategy" for its realization has set the following electrification goals in the field of "automotive and storage battery industry".
At the same time, charging and charging infrastructure targets have also been set.
Towards these goals, the Clean Energy Vehicle/Infrastructure Introduction Promotion Subsidy was created to advance the development of the infrastructure that is essential for the spread and spread of clean energy vehicles throughout the country.
Clean energy vehicle introduction subsidy project
The target and maximum amount of subsidies for the purchase of clean energy vehicles are as follows.
Subsidy Eligibility
Subsidies are available to individuals, corporations, and local governments who purchase eligible electric vehicles, plug-in hybrid vehicles, and fuel cell vehicles. Part of the purchase cost will be subsidized.
Vehicles eligible for subsidy

Light electric vehicles: Up to 400,000 yen
Plug-in hybrid vehicles: Up to 400,000 yen< br>Fuel cell vehicle: upper limit of 2.25 million yen
Ultra-compact mobility; fixed amount of 200,000 yen (individual), fixed amount of 300,000 yen (service use)
However, vehicles that meet either of the following two conditions will be added to the subsidized upper limit.
Electric vehicles (excluding light vehicles): Up to 800,000 yen
Light electric vehicles: Up to 500,000 yen
Plug-in hybrid vehicles: Up to 500,000 yen
Fuel cell vehicles: Up to 2.5 million yen
Ultra-compact mobility: fixed price ¥300,000 (individual), fixed price ¥400,000 (service use)
Charging infrastructure introduction subsidy project
The subsidy targets and subsidy limits for the charging infrastructure introduction subsidy project for clean energy vehicles are as follows.
Subsidized Eligible Persons
Eligible companies are those who install facilities for charging electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid vehicles. Part of the equipment purchase cost and construction cost is subsidized.
Changes from the initial budget project for FY2021
Introducing the main changes from the initial budget project for FY2021.
Regarding equipment costs for quick chargers, a new subsidy will be established for devices with 3 or more charging ports.
The construction cost will be increased as ancillary equipment costs for the high-voltage power receiving equipment that is required when installing a quick charger of 50 kW or more.
The upper limit cardinal number that can be applied for subsidies will be relaxed.
When installing multiple units in an apartment complex, we will expand the amount of subsidies for chargers with a demand control function that enables adjustment of the power supply and demand of the facility and the amount of charging, as well as for incidental equipment.
When will the subsidy start?
After the supplementary budget is passed and enacted at the extraordinary Diet session to be held in December 2021, subsidized projects will begin and applications will begin to be accepted.
You can submit a business plan at the time of application and start purchasing equipment and construction after the grant is decided. “Advance start”, which is to start before the grant decision is made, is not permitted.
Subsidy Rate/Subsidy Maximum Amount
The subsidy rate changes depending on the type of charging. In addition, the subsidy limit varies depending on the installation location and the output of the charger. Details are yet to come, but a rough estimate is given.
Notes
On the official website of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, there are notes about cooperation in the event of a disaster. Please understand this in advance before applying.
``If electric vehicles, fuel cell vehicles, etc. are equipped with an external power supply function, they can be used as an emergency power source in the event of a disaster. You may cooperate with
In addition, it is a different project from the 2022 budget "Subsidy to promote the introduction of clean energy vehicles" and "Subsidy for hydrogen station maintenance costs to promote the spread of fuel cell vehicles".
