The electric cars from opportunity to problem? Their incentive and the privileged fiscal position with respect to thermal cars in the long run would cause holes in the state budget. In Norway this scenario is already a reality, with the local government that in the past months has found itself grappling with a reduction in tax revenues of almost 2 billion euros.
Electric car boom, who pays?
With the boom in electric cars it comes at a cost, who pays for it? Until now, in fact, the car at every latitude has been seen as a sort of goose that lays golden eggs with Italian motorists among the most harassedexcept the electric one which enjoys imported tax relief and incentives in almost all countries.
The problem here is not yet tangible now because the share of EV vehicles at around 10% is still lower than that of traditional cars, with the hybrid which have gained ground on petrol and especially diesel.
Exemptions and incentives for electric cars
Italian motorists, in spite of themselves, have always had to deal with economic taxes of all kinds, from car tax to excise duty on fuels.
Drivers of electric cars, on the other hand, found themselves in one privileged tax positionwith the aim of encouraging the purchase of these vehicles which, without bonus, would hardly have reached the market share they now have and which is destined to increase progressively, above all due to the push decided by theEurope.
In fact, all governments have been benevolent with electric cars, without considering that in a future without thermals, a hole could be created in the state coffers.
Electric cars in Norway, economic hole
In Norway, which the share of BEVs is among the highest in Europe, the dominance of electricity would have generated a reduction in tax revenues of 1.92 billion euros. Here the pushing vehicles now represent over the 70% of new car sales. The boom was also facilitated by important tax benefits.
Norwegians do not have theVAT or taxes on the purchase of electric cars and also do not pay i tolls and parking and they can also use the reserved lanes to public transport in the city.
Norway is now ready to take action and is considering the possibility of eliminating some exemptions and launching a tax reform. Among the hypotheses, the restoration of the stamp duty on battery-powered cars and the introduction of new taxes on plug-in hybrids, on used electric cars and on luxury cars.
Electric car privileges, until when?
Will this scenario also exist in Italy? In case the state where it would go to recover the lack of tax revenue? We will go to squeeze more and more the traditional car and when there is nothing more to ask, what do you do? In any case, the position of privilege the electric car, as its market share increases, is destined to end sooner or later.
