OVERVIEW AND ANALYSIS OF ELECTRIC VEHICLE INCENTIVES APPLIED ACROSS EIGHT SELECTED COUNTRY MARKETS

Excerpt: “To summarize the above, adding the following measures to the current incentives in Sweden will stimulate the EV market growth:

1. Remove VAT from the EV base price – like in Norway.
2. Provide unrestricted access to road lanes, such as bus and taxi lanes.
3. Allocate budget to continue the SEK 40,000 subsidy for purchase of EVs
4. Offer free charging and free parking for EVs at designated parking sites and Make EV charging stations visible to the public so as to nudge the public opinion towards e-mobility
5. Lift the SEK 16,000 per year cap on the (förmånsvärdet) 40% discount on company car tax for employees
6. Remove congestion charges for EVs
7. Make Sweden a forerunner in deployment of fully electric buses”
