Funding program for charging infrastructure for electric vehicles in Bavaria 2026-2029

When it comes to the mobility of tomorrow, the Free State of Bavaria is generally pursuing a technology-neutral approach. However, electromobility is the most advanced and promising in terms of meeting climate protection targets. The Free State of Bavaria is therefore supporting the ramp-up of the charging infrastructure as a key prerequisite for the success of electric vehicles on the mass market. Against this backdrop, the funding launched in 2017 will be continued from 01.01.2026 with a new funding guideline.

The new funding guideline is deliberately designed to be flexible so that current needs and trends in electromobility can be taken into account depending on the situation. For this reason, the funding guideline also allows for the funding of publicly accessible or non-public charging points in addition to new construction and modernization. However, it will not always be possible to fund everything. In the interests of a systematic and targeted expansion of the Bavarian charging infrastructure, the respective funding framework conditions are defined in individual funding calls, including application deadlines, objectives and funding budgets. It is not possible to submit an application outside of a funding call.

Within the framework of this funding landscape, the Free State assumes two calls for funding per year. The first funding call is planned for the first half of 2026 and is expected to address publicly accessible charging points again.

Despite the flexibility of the guideline, the calls for funding generally require the following funding specifications and conditions, among others:

• Charging location in Bavaria
• No early start of measures. The award of a delivery or service contract attributable to the execution is deemed to be the start of the measure.
• No funding for expenditure outside the respective project duration
• No funding for own contributions
• Prohibition of accumulation
• Construction and installation of the subsidized charging points by qualified personnel
• Funding notice at the charging point (sticker provided)
• Regular reporting

The application procedure is a one-stage process. Applications are submitted via the project management organization's electronic application system (see links below). As a rule, applications are not processed on a first-come, first-served basis, but according to a selection process defined in the respective call for funding.
