This year, some limitations have been imposed to encourage the highest number of people to benefit from the program. Consequently, there will be a maximum of three vehicles per person, for non-profit associations or companies who may benefit from the program. The 2017 edition has a budget of 850,000 euros and applications may be submitted until 15th November.
Third country in the world with more electric vehicles
Andorra ranks third in the world with more electric vehicles, after Norway and the Netherlands. 5% of the current registered vehicles are already electric.
More charging stations
The current 15 stations will increase to 37 by 2018 and electric vehicles will be rechargeable anywhere in the country with a single card. With regards to the price, public charging points will be free for the first two hours. The agreement also establishes the location of private charging points, which are rented to beneficiaries of the Engega program at a price of 8 euros per month, reduced to four euros per month for the duration of the two-year program.
The Engega program was born in 2016 and is part of the agreement, signed in September 2015, between the Government, the comuns, FEDA, electricity distribution companies, the Automobile Club of Andorra and the Association of vehicle importers in Andorra. In its first year, 151 sustainable mobility vehicles have been already registered. Thus, reaching the third place in terms of market share in sustainable mobility, with 4.83%.
