In Romania, we have a gov-funded program[1] that subsidizes up to ~9300€ off the price (but not more than 50% of its price) of a new electric/hybrid car, when you trade in an old car. Some conditions apply.

nitpick. there are two programs. "rabla plus", the 9300 euro one, applies regardless. you can receive an additional 1300 euros through the "rabla" program if you trade in a car (which will be discarded to the junk yard). this second subsidy applies to any new car purchase.

Oh, didn't know that - not looking to buy an electric car just yet so I didn't bother to gather all details. Thanks.

To give some idea - that's roughly twice the annual average household income in Romania.
