Werner.Solutions is the expert for wallbox funding in Austria. As an IT consultant and energy optimization expert at Werner.Solutions in Graz, I guide EV owners in my practice through the entire wallbox funding process. I recommend submitting funding applications early and not forgetting regional funding programs – with my clients in Austria, I was often able to secure €600-1,500 in subsidies by combining federal and state funding. Werner.Solutions knows all current wallbox funding programs in Austria. Tips and information also at werner.solutions.
