Status verified on Subsidy terms change — we keep the figures in this article up to date.
Subsidies for EV charging stations split in 2026 according to who is applying. For public charging, five calls of the Transport Programme worth a combined CZK 1 135 million open this autumn. For freight transport, the Modernisation Fund runs until the end of November. For households and apartment buildings the situation has reversed: direct subsidies for a wallbox ended in November 2025 and were replaced by an interest-free loan in which an apartment building has no supported charging point at all. The overview below tells you what you can reach.
Overview: who, from where and how much
Programme | For whom | What you can get from it | Status as of 14 September 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|
Transport Programme (OPD3), calls 44–48 | municipalities, cities, operators of public charging | the support rate will be set in the text of the calls; in the last comparable calls it reached up to 80 % (municipalities), 70 % (priority areas) and 55 % (the whole country) of eligible costs | issued gradually 09/2026 – 12/2026, applications until 11/2026 – 03/2027 |
Modernisation Fund — TRANSCom No. 2/2025 | companies and sole traders buying N2/N3 freight vehicles | max. 30 % of the cost of the station, up to CZK 50 000 per station, 1 station per 2 vehicles | open, applications accepted until 30 November 2026 |
Nová zelená úsporám — family houses | households | an interest-free loan, not a subsidy; a charging point only as part of the support for photovoltaics | new stage since 6/2026; the direct subsidy of CZK 15 000 per point ended on 10 November 2025 |
Nová zelená úsporám — apartment buildings and HOAs | HOAs, housing cooperatives | a charging point is not among the supported measures | the former subsidy of CZK 25 000 per point ended in 11/2025 and the new stage did not restore it |
Elektromobilita Guarantee (National Development Bank) | companies, sole traders | CZK 50 000 (AC) / CZK 100 000 (DC up to 40 kW) / CZK 150 000 (DC above 40 kW) | 1st call exhausted, 2nd call not announced |
Subsidies for public charging: five calls worth CZK 1.135 billion
The Transport Programme is issuing five calls for publicly accessible charging infrastructure in 2026. The applicant is the owner of infrastructure with public access — a municipality, a city or a charging operator. A station on a closed company site does not fall under these calls.
How much will the calls cover? The state will publish the support rate only in the text of the individual calls. What is documented is this: in the last announced calls with the same focus, support reached up to 80 % of eligible costs for standard charging in cities and municipalities (call No. 40, minimum scope 20 charging points), up to 70 % for fast charging in priority areas (call No. 42) and up to 55 % for fast charging across the whole country (call No. 41). Take them as guidance, not as a promise — the exact conditions will be known when the calls are issued.
Call | Who it is for | How much is in it | Issue date per the schedule | Rate in the last comparable call |
|---|---|---|---|---|
No. 44 — fast charging, priority areas | operators along motorways and main routes | CZK 100 million | 09/2026 | up to 70 % |
No. 45 — standard charging in cities and municipalities | municipalities and cities across the country | CZK 150 million | 09/2026 | up to 80 % |
No. 46 — fast charging, the whole country (from 150 kW) | operators with no location restriction | CZK 315 million | 09/2026 | up to 55 % |
No. 47 — fast charging for freight vehicles | logistics, freight parking areas | CZK 500 million | 10/2026 | no direct precedent |
No. 48 — standard charging, second wave | municipalities that missed the first call | CZK 70 million | 12/2026 | up to 80 % |
The issue dates follow the Ministry of Transport schedule valid as of 28 August 2026. The schedule is indicative and has already shifted once during the summer — the first calls were originally due in August. We therefore recommend not relying on the planned month, but having the documentation ready and watching for the actual announcement.
What is worth preparing in advance: the chosen site and the right to the land, the available power capacity confirmed by the distribution system operator, and an idea of the number and type of stations. Readiness decides, not the speed of submission.
Companies: freight transport yes, passenger cars not yet
Companies in freight transport have the Modernisation Fund open, the TRANSCom programme. Applications are accepted until 30 November 2026. A charging station is supported at up to 30 % of the cost and no more than CZK 50 000 per station, with one station per two vehicles purchased — the main part of the support goes to the electric freight vehicles themselves.
Companies that want to charge their own passenger cars on their own premises currently have no across-the-board subsidy scheme. The Elektromobilita Guarantee programme of the National Development Bank exhausted the funds of its first call (6 325 vehicles and 2 759 stations) and the bank has not issued a second one yet. As soon as that changes, we will add it here.
Households: an interest-free loan instead of a subsidy
The direct subsidy for a home wallbox from the Nová zelená úsporám programme ended on 10 November 2025. A new stage has been running since June 2026 in which the state does not give a subsidy but an interest-free loan — for family houses up to CZK 750 thousand for a partial project and up to two million for a comprehensive one. A charging point is listed in it as part of the support for photovoltaic systems, so it cannot be funded on its own. Before deciding, we recommend verifying the current conditions directly in the binding guidelines of the programme.
Apartment buildings and HOAs: the support did not come back
For homeowner associations and housing cooperatives the situation in 2026 is unpleasant: a charging point is not among the supported measures of the new stage of Nová zelená úsporám. The previous support of CZK 25 000 per charging point ended in November 2025 and the new stage did not restore it. An installation in an apartment building is financed today from the building’s own resources. The good news: thanks to dynamic load management the costs stay low even without a subsidy — the most expensive item, increasing the rating of the main circuit breaker, usually does not have to be dealt with at all. What that looks like in practice is shown by the case study of the Trnkovo náměstí HOA.
Conclusion
2026 favours public charging: the five calls of the Transport Programme are the biggest opportunity this year and concern municipalities, cities and operators. Households and apartment buildings, by contrast, will not reach a direct subsidy — which makes a solution that is cheap to run even without one all the more worthwhile. We do not prepare or process subsidy applications — we will tell you which call your project fits and prepare the technical design, the grid connection documentation and the project budget. Get in touch and we will go through it with you, with no obligation.
Frequently asked questions
Can I get a subsidy for a home wallbox in 2026?
Not a direct subsidy — that ended in November 2025. Nová zelená úsporám offers an interest-free loan in which a charging point is part of the support for photovoltaics on a family house.
Our HOA wants charging in the garages. Is there a subsidy for it?
Not at the moment. A charging point is not on the list of supported measures for HOAs and housing cooperatives in the new stage of Nová zelená úsporám.
How much will a subsidy cover for a public station for a municipality?
The state will publish the support rate only in the text of the call. In the last comparable call for municipalities (No. 40 of 30 September 2025) it was up to 80 % of eligible costs with a minimum scope of 20 charging points.
When will the Transport Programme calls open?
According to the schedule of 28 August 2026, gradually from September to December 2026. The schedule has already shifted once — we watch for the actual announcement and will get in touch with you on the day a call is really issued.
