The switch to electric driving is growing rapidly, and companies are increasingly getting the opportunity to invest in it. The Private Charging Infrastructure at Businesses Subsidy Scheme (SPRILA) is an initiative of the Dutch government to support entrepreneurs in installing charging stations on their own premises. For companies that want to become more sustainable and encourage electric transport, this is an attractive subsidy opportunity.

What is the SPRILA grant?

SPRILA is a financial scheme that helps companies purchase and install electric vehicle charging stations. The grant reimburses part of the cost of installing both AC and DC charging stations and any power supply modifications. The combination of charging infrastructure with energy storage may also be eligible for support.

For whom is the SPRILA grant intended?

The scheme is aimed at companies and organisations that want to install charging points for their own fleet of vehicles, employees or visitors. These could include logistics companies, office premises, catering establishments or shopping centres. The subsidy applies to charging infrastructure on own or leased premises and is not intended for public charging points.

SPRILA grant conditions

The following conditions apply to eligibility for SPRILA:

• The charging posts must be placed in a location that is not publicly accessible.
• The company must be registered with the Chamber of Commerce in the Netherlands.
• The grant is aimed at both small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and larger companies.
• The installation must meet the technical requirements and standards for safe and efficient loading.

Benefits for companies

With the SPRILA grant, companies can not only save on investment costs, but also benefit from:

• Lower energy costs: By combining smart charging and possibly energy storage, companies can reduce peak loads.
• Sustainable image: Investing in charging stations shows that a company is forward-thinking and takes sustainability seriously.
• Added value for employees and customers: Electric driving is becoming increasingly popular. Offering charging facilities makes the company more attractive to customers and employees.

How do you apply for the SPRILA grant?

The subsidy can be applied for through the Rijksdienst voor Ondernemend Nederland (RVO). Companies need to submit a tender and a plan that clarifies how the charging infrastructure will be implemented. The scheme runs at fixed points in the year and the budget is limited, so timely application is recommended.

Conclusion

For companies looking to invest in sustainable mobility, the SPRILA grant offers an excellent opportunity. Not only does this scheme reduce costs, but it also contributes to greener operations and a future-proof energy infrastructure.
