Gábor Czepek said 6,688 applications had been submitted for the purchase of 7,749 vehicles. Those include 6,086 for passenger cars and 1,644 for light commerce vehicles, he added.

China’s BYD is the most popular brand among applicants and Tesla Model Y the most popular model.

Czepek encouraged businesses to continue to apply for the funding as some applications already submitted could be rejected.

Businesses may apply for grants of between HUF 2.8 million and HUF 4 mln per vehicle, depending on battery capacity, in the programme funded from the European Union’s REPowerEU until December 1, 2025.
