Enova Funding 2026

How much Enova funding can you receive?

Enova can cover up to 60% of the additional cost of choosing a zero-emission construction machine over a comparable diesel machine. The maximum grant is 5 million kroner per project.

The subsidy is calculated based on the difference in cost between the zero-emission vehicle and a comparable diesel alternative.

However, this does not mean that it is always best to apply for the maximum grant amount. Enova allocates the funds through a competitive process among the applications, and the applications are ranked based on how much funding is requested in relation to the estimated emissions reduction.

Which machines are eligible for Enova funding from Elvate?

Among other things, Enova is offering support for electric:

At Elvate, all of our machines meet the following criteria:

Excavators

Wheel loaders

Dump Trucks

Rolling Machines

Reach stacker

Telescopic loaders

Bulldozer

To qualify, the machine must, among other things, have a curb weight of at least 2 metric tons and a rated engine power of at least 15 kW. The machine must be used on construction and civil engineering sites. Machines used primarily for routine operation and maintenance are not covered by the program.

At Elvate, you'll find electric construction equipment that may qualify for Enova funding, provided that the program's requirements are met.

How the grant application competes

Enova prioritizes projects that yield the greatest reduction in emissions per krona of funding.

Each application is assigned a ranking score:

Funding requested ÷ estimated CO₂ reduction = ranking score

Example:

If you apply for 800,000 kroner and the machine results in an estimated emissions reduction of 30,000 kg of CO₂ equivalents, the ranking score will be:

800,000 / 30,000 = 26.67 SEK per kg of CO₂

The lower the amount of support you apply for in relation to the emissions reduction, the better your ranking score will be.

The threshold for which applications receive funding is determined after each application round. It therefore depends on how many applicants there are, how much funding they are requesting, and how large Enova’s available budget is.

How much should you apply for?

The maximum grant amount is not necessarily the same as the best application.

A higher grant amount can make the investment more attractive, but it also results in a higher ranking score. Therefore, it’s a matter of finding a good balance between the funding you need and the competitiveness of your application.

Elvate can help you calculate different subsidy levels before you submit your application, so you can see how the subsidy amount affects both your investment and your ranking score.

How does Enova calculate the emission reduction?

Enova uses a standardized calculation model based, among other things, on the machine's:

• Rated Motor Power

• Net Weight

Based on this information, an estimated diesel consumption is calculated for a comparable machine. Enova then assumes 1,500 operating hours per year and an emission factor of 2.66 kg of CO₂ equivalents per liter of diesel.

A machine with a higher estimated emission reduction can therefore qualify for a higher requested subsidy amount and still maintain a competitive ranking score.

How to Apply for Enova Funding

The application must be submitted before the investment is made. The documentation must be complete when the application is submitted.

With Elvate, the process might look like this:

1. Choose a machine
   We'll help you find an electric machine that meets your needs.

2. Compare with the diesel option:
   The application includes quotes for both the electric machine and a comparable diesel machine.

3. Calculate support and ranking scores
   We can help you evaluate different support levels.

4. Send the application to Enova at
   . The application must be complete by the deadline.

5. Pending decision
   The investment will be carried out in accordance with Enova’s terms and conditions once the grant has been approved.

Advantages of Electric Construction Equipment

Electric construction equipment can offer several advantages over diesel-powered equipment:

• Lower energy costs – electric operation can reduce energy costs per hour worked.

• Less maintenance —electric powertrains have fewer moving parts.

• Zero-emission operation —no local exhaust emissions from the machine.

• Lower noise levels —an advantage on construction sites in densely populated areas and during indoor work.

• Better suited for zero-emission construction sites —electric machines make it easier to meet requirements for zero-emission operations.
