Subsidy for private charging stations (SPRILA)

The Private Charging Infrastructure at Businesses Subsidy Scheme (SPRILA) is for entrepreneurs who want to have charging infrastructure on their premises or get advice on it. Charging infrastructure consists of a network of charging points, such as charging stations, for electric vehicles.

With SPRILA Purchase (SPRILA Aanschaf), you can apply for a subsidy for the construction of charging infrastructure on your premises. Would you like advice on building charging infrastructure on your premises? With SPRILA Advice (SPRILA Advies), you can apply for a subsidy for the consultancy costs.

Your charging location, such as a car park or parking lot, where the charging infrastructure is to be installed, must be privately accessible. Privately accessible means that the site is only available to you, your employees, or your visitors at certain times.

If you want to build charging infrastructure for heavy vehicles in a publicly accessible location, you can apply for SPULA subsidy.

When are you eligible for SPRILA Purchase?

To apply for the SPRILA Purchase subsidy you must meet the following conditions:

• You are an entrepreneur or a public transport concession holder.
• You are registered with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce (KVK). Your company is based in the Netherlands.
• You build the charging infrastructure on your own premises or on premises you rent.
