Subsidies for EV charging stations split in 2026 according to who is applying. For public charging, the Transport Programme has announced three calls worth CZK 565 million and, according to its schedule, is preparing two more, CZK 1 135 million in total. 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 loans in which a charging point is an eligible cost only together with photovoltaics. 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 5 October 2026 |
|---|---|---|---|
Transport Programme (OPD3), calls 44–48 | municipalities, cities and companies that open their stations to everyone | up to 80 % (standard charging, No. 45), 70 % (fast charging in priority areas, No. 44) or 55 % (ultra-fast charging across the country, No. 46) of eligible costs | Nos. 44–46 announced, applications 9 Oct – 7 Dec 2026 (Nos. 44 and 45) and 14 Oct 2026 – 6 Jan 2027 (No. 46); Nos. 47 and 48 only in the schedule so far |
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 (last CZK 10 000 with photovoltaics) ended on 10 November 2025 |
Nová zelená úsporám — apartment buildings and HOAs | HOAs, housing cooperatives | a preferential loan, not a subsidy; a charging point only together with photovoltaics (from 5 kWp, at least 2 flats) | new stage since 6/2026; the direct subsidy of CZK 25 000 per point ended in 11/2025 |
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) | closed on 14 October 2024, no further call planned |
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. Municipalities, cities and companies with a Czech company ID can apply, provided they own the stations and open them to everyone. A station on a closed company site does not fall under these calls.
How much will the calls cover? For the announced calls it is stated in the call text itself: up to 80 % of eligible costs for standard charging in cities and municipalities (call No. 45, at least 20 charging points), up to 70 % for fast charging in priority areas (call No. 44, at least 6 fast-charging stations) and up to 55 % for ultra-fast charging across the whole country (call No. 46, at least 10 stations, each from 150 kW). The percentage is a ceiling: it applies only to eligible costs and only up to the cap per station. The money goes to applications in order of their score until it runs out.
Call | Where and for whom | How much is in it | Status as of 5 October 2026 | Support rate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
No. 44 — fast charging, priority areas | sections of the D3, D6 and D11 motorways and 20 listed municipalities | CZK 100 million | announced 25 Sep 2026, applications 9 Oct – 7 Dec 2026 until 2 p.m. | up to 70 % |
No. 45 — standard charging in cities and municipalities | municipalities and companies across the country, at least 20 charging points | CZK 150 million | announced 25 Sep 2026, applications 9 Oct – 7 Dec 2026 until 2 p.m. | up to 80 % |
No. 46 — fast charging, the whole country (from 150 kW) | anywhere in the country, at least 10 stations | CZK 315 million | announced 30 Sep 2026, applications 14 Oct 2026 – 6 Jan 2027 until 2 p.m. | up to 55 % |
No. 47 — fast charging for freight vehicles | logistics, freight parking areas | CZK 500 million | not announced yet, schedule: 10/2026 | set in the call text |
No. 48 — standard charging, second wave | same focus as No. 45 | CZK 70 million | not announced yet, schedule: 12/2026 | set in the call text |
The dates and support rates of calls Nos. 44–46 come from their texts at opd3.opd.cz. For calls Nos. 47 and 48 only the Ministry of Transport schedule of 28 August 2026 applies so far. It is indicative and has already shifted once: the first calls were due in August and came out at the end of September. Caps per station, the conditions of each call and a guide to which one fits your project are on our page Charging Station Subsidies. There you can also sign up for news about the calls.
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 used up its funds (6 325 vehicles and 2 759 stations), stopped accepting applications on 14 October 2024, and the Ministry of Industry said at the time that it was not planning another call.
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: a loan instead of a subsidy, only with photovoltaics
For homeowner associations and housing cooperatives a stricter condition applies in 2026: the new stage of Nová zelená úsporám does not support a charging station on its own. The station is an eligible cost only if the building is also installing supported photovoltaics (at least 5 kWp, connected to at least two flats), and the support takes the form of a preferential loan with interest compensation, not a subsidy. The loan does not cover upgrading the main circuit breaker or creating a parking space. The direct subsidy of CZK 25 000 per charging point ended in November 2025; without photovoltaics, 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, three of them already announced, are the biggest opportunity this year for municipalities, cities and companies. 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.
