In Norway, the progressive tax system plays a pivotal role in fostering the adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) over their petrol counterparts.
A clear illustration of this lies in the pricing dynamics of Volkswagen models.
While the import price of a conventional Volkswagen Golf stands at 22,046, its electric counterpart, the Volkswagen e-Golf, is priced at 33,037.
However, the difference in cost is significantly offset by the Norwegian tax incentives designed to encourage sustainable choices.
Moreover, the value-added tax (VAT) on the conventional Golf, standing at 25%, translates to 5,512, while the e-Golf enjoys a VAT exemption.
These tax adjustments create a more level playing field, making electric vehicles a compelling and competitive option for environmentally conscious consumers in Norway.
