Private Charging Infrastructure Subsidy Scheme for Businesses (SPRILA) Grant

About this grant

SPRILA (Subsidieregeling Private Laadinfrastructuur bij bedrijven) is a Dutch national subsidy scheme run by RVO that helps businesses install private charging infrastructure for electric vehicles and work vehicles on their own or leased premises. It supports the installation of AC and DC charging stations and, from 2026, stationary or integrated batteries that supply charging stations. The scheme targets private charging, meaning stations usable only by a specific group of users at certain times and not publicly accessible. The problem addressed is the slow build-out of charging capacity for business fleets, employee cars, customer vehicles and tenant needs. Subsidy amounts are fixed per charging station category (for example 400 euro for a single 11 kW AC point for large firms, up to 44,000 euro for a DC station of 550 kW or more) and per kWh of battery capacity (60 euro for large firms, 85 euro for SMEs), with SME rates roughly double for charging stations. Applications below 25,000 euro in subsidy are assessed and paid in one instalment after the infrastructure is installed. Applications of 25,000 euro or more must be submitted before any binding order is placed, using an unsigned quotation, and receive 50 percent as an advance with the balance paid after project completion and verification. Subsidies are assessed in order of receipt, and the budget is divided across AC/DC infrastructure, batteries, and public transport concession holders or coach operators. The scheme sets state aid limits of 20 percent for large enterprises and 40 percent for SMEs, a minimum subsidy of 2,500 euro per location, and a minimum eligible cost of 12,500 euro for large firms or 6,250 euro for SMEs. Recipients must keep stations non-publicly accessible in the public charging register for at least 24 months after subsidy determination, and batteries must remain owned for 24 months. The 2026 application window runs from 20 January 2026 09:00 to 18 December 2026 12:00 Dutch time, with a total budget of 122.5 million euro.

Eligibility

Applicants must be entrepreneurs or public transport concession holders installing charging infrastructure, registered with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce (KVK), and established in the Netherlands. Associations, housing corporations, care institutions and companies are treated as enterprises where they carry out economic activity. The scheme covers businesses with their own electric vehicles (cars, vans, taxis, buses, coaches, trucks or construction machinery), businesses whose employees or customers drive electric vehicles, and property owners whose tenants need charging. Charging must be installed on the applicant's own or leased premises in the Netherlands, with at least one AC station of 11 kW or more or one DC station of 20 kW or more. Stations must be restricted to a specific user group and not be publicly accessible. Government bodies such as provinces, municipalities, water boards, autonomous administrative bodies and public law bodies are not eligible, and the scheme excludes businesses intending to operate charging infrastructure commercially. SMEs may apply for higher subsidy rates and must submit an SME declaration. Fishery, aquaculture and agriculture businesses face lower de minimis ceilings. Applications must be submitted through eHerkenning level 3 or higher.

How it's scored

Applications are processed in order of receipt, with the stated aim of assessing them within six weeks and a statutory deadline of 13 weeks. Eligibility is determined by compliance with the listed conditions, subsidy amount per station and battery category, minimum subsidy and eligible-cost thresholds, state aid limits, and documentation requirements. Where the calculated subsidy exceeds state aid rules, RVO reduces it. No weighted scoring criteria or panel are described.
