The Low Emission Vehicle Toll Incentive (LEVTI) Scheme which offers toll discounts for alternatively fuelled vehicles was introduced in July 2018 and is expected to run until December 31st, 2022 subject to the scheme's terms and conditions. BEV and PHEVs qualify for 50% and 25% toll reductions respectively up to a maximum €500 annual threshold for private vehicles and a maximum annual threshold of €1,000 for commercial vehicles (greater off-peak rates also apply to the M50 toll).

As Transport Infrastructure Ireland (TII) administer the scheme, I have forwarded your correspondence for direct reply. Please contact my office if no reply is received within 10 working days.
