SPRILA private business charging grants
Grants for businesses installing private electric-vehicle charging in the Netherlands, with additional support for qualifying batteries.
Αυτή η ευκαιρία είναι προς το παρόν διαθέσιμη στα Αγγλικά.
SPRILA Aanschaf contributes to fixed private charging stations and qualifying batteries at Dutch business sites. Fixed equipment amounts are capped at 40% of eligible project costs for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and 20% for large enterprises. The grant must reach €2,500 per location, requiring at least €6,250 in eligible costs for an SME or €12,500 for a large enterprise.
| Station category | Large enterprise | SME |
|---|---|---|
| AC, at least 11 kW, one point | €400 | €800 |
| AC, two points each at least 11 kW | €800 | €1,600 |
| AC, at least 43 kW, one point | €880 | €1,760 |
| AC, two points each at least 43 kW | €1,760 | €3,520 |
| DC, at least 20 kW | €1,950 | €3,900 |
| DC, at least 50 kW | €4,880 | €9,760 |
| DC, at least 100 kW | €8,850 | €17,700 |
| DC, at least 150 kW | €12,200 | €24,400 |
| DC, at least 220 kW | €15,500 | €31,000 |
| DC, at least 350 kW | €26,250 | €52,500 |
| DC, at least 550 kW | €44,000 | €88,000 |
For AC, use power delivered at each charging point; a two-point station must deliver the stated power to both simultaneously. For DC, use the station’s total output. In a modular system, claimed power cannot exceed the cabinets’ simultaneous output or each station’s capacity, and claimed station numbers cannot exceed those installed.
A supported battery receives €60/kWh for a large enterprise or €85/kWh for an SME, normally for at most 1,000 kWh per location. Public-bus concession holders are exempt from that capacity limit. The same 20%/40% cost ceilings apply. The battery must accompany new charging infrastructure and the combined grant must be at least €25,000.
The costs concern installation of charging infrastructure and an eligible battery; on-site renewable generation is excluded. Declare other subsidies. Energy Investment Allowance (EIA) tax relief may be combined with battery support, but deduct its net benefit from eligible costs. A site may have separate SPRILA and SPULA equipment; the same station or battery cannot receive both.
Eligibility
The applicant must conduct economic activities, be registered with KVK and have a Dutch establishment. Install on owned or rented land in the Netherlands. Eligible uses include company vehicles, employees’ or customers’ vehicles, tenants’ charging needs and public-transport buses. A commercial-building owners’ association (VvE) can apply for charging used by businesses, but residents’ parking cannot form part of its application.
Public-law autonomous administrative bodies with legal personality, provinces, municipalities, water boards and public bodies under the joint-arrangements legislation are excluded. Charging operators—businesses mainly supplying electricity or fuel to third parties at the site—are generally excluded, but can apply for their own vehicles or employees’ vehicles. The special public-bus concession rules apply to holders of an awarded bus concession, not automatically to every coach or rail operator.
Charging must be reserved for a defined user group at some times while in use, rather than always accessible to everyone. Provide at least one AC station delivering at least 11 kW or one DC station of at least 20 kW, continuously online using OCPP 1.6 or higher, the protocol allowing charging equipment to communicate. Mobile charging does not qualify. Existing chargers can be replaced by qualifying smart chargers or higher-power equipment; an expansion supports only new stations. Financial lease is permitted because the applicant owns the equipment; operational lease is not.
A battery must communicate with the chargers, be registered after installation with Energieleveren or the grid operator, and have a hardware C-rate no higher than 0.5: its power in kW divided by capacity in kWh. Software limiting does not qualify. The C-rate limit does not apply to a battery integrated into a DC station or to public-bus concession holders. Retain ownership without transfer for at least 24 months after final settlement and deliver at least 70% of discharged kWh to chargers; RVO can require three consecutive months of usage data within that period.
Awards of €25,000 or more fall under EU state-aid rules: undertakings in difficulty and unlawful combinations of aid are excluded, and work must not start before application.
For applications of at least €25,000, “Undertaking in difficulty” is a formal EU financial test. Grounds include accumulated losses that have consumed more than half the relevant capital, insolvency proceedings or meeting the criteria for them, and an unpaid rescue-aid loan, an unterminated rescue-aid guarantee or a restructuring-aid plan still in force. SMEs under three years old at the planned grant award are exempt from the capital-loss tests, but still face the insolvency and rescue/restructuring checks; if part of a connected group, all its businesses must be under three years old for this age exception. Use RVO’s official decision tree for the tests applicable to your legal form, size and group.

- One application per location per calendar year. Below €25,000 apply after installation; from €25,000 apply before ordering. Subject to the relevant activity budget.
Apply through RVO with eHerkenning level 3 from 20 January 2026 at 09:00 to 18 December at 12:00, Netherlands time. Submit one application per location per calendar year. The €122.5 million budget comprises €68.5 million for charging and €45 million for batteries for applicants other than bus concession holders/coach companies, plus €9 million for charging and batteries for those transport operators. Receipt date determines order; same-day oversubscription can lead to a lottery.
For a grant below €25,000, install first and apply afterwards in the same calendar year or within 13 weeks of completion. Supply the invoice, technical specifications, user group and location, SME declaration where relevant, and a de-minimis declaration showing the small amounts of public aid already received. Sector-specific limits apply, including lower ceilings for agriculture, fisheries and aquaculture. Successful awards are settled directly and paid in full. Complete applications submitted on or after budget exhaustion that receive no award after the lottery carry over to the next opening’s first day.
For €25,000 or more, apply before ordering or starting work, using an unsigned quotation; a signed quotation counts as an order. Include the SME declaration where relevant, technical data, users, location, costs, other aid and grid contract. If required charging capacity exceeds 50% of the contracted available grid capacity, provide a calculation showing the capacity and operational chargers will be available within 24 months of award. A grid operator’s quotation alone is insufficient. Public-bus concession holders need not provide the location/postcode, grid contract or that capacity calculation; instead give the concession-award date showing battery-electric buses will be deployed.
Awards of at least €25,000 receive a 50% advance. Complete and commission the project within 24 months of award; RVO asks for the final-settlement request after completion within 24 months of the advance. A single postponement of up to 12 months can be requested if more time is needed. Keep the infrastructure private for at least 24 months after final settlement and do not register it as publicly accessible during that time; registration as restricted-access is possible.
