The elections to the Norwegian parliament alreadyż are going on. What is the party's policy on electric cars?

-Electric Car Association (Elbilforeningen) it will be hard to work on the best possible electric car policy in the upcoming parliamentary term. Electric car policy is one of the most effective climate measures says Christina Bu, secretary general of the Norwegian Electric Automobile Association

What viewsądy and what ideas about electric cars mayą individual parties and how do they support investments in Norway?  

Sales of new zero-emission cars are a target for 2025, and they remain basically long-term. All parties except FrP commit in their party programs to achieve the 2025 target, which is XNUMX% emission-free sales of new cars in Norway. MDG / Miljøpartiet De Grønne and SV actually propose to accelerate the goal of 100% zero-emission new car sales by 2023. The Center Party, for its part, proposed including biogas cars for this purpose. The Electric Car Association thinks this is unwise.

- There is one success criterion for investment in electric cars in the upcoming parliamentary term, and that is reaching the 2025 target. This is important and unique in a political context, with broad support for such a specific climate goal. Sales of new cars only emission-free - emphasizes Bu.

In their programs, the parties support the introduction of the so-called top VAT on electric cars 

The main explanation for success Norwegian cars electric cars were exempt from purchase taxes such as VAT and one-off tax. Internal combustion cars received a one-off tax based on their high emissions, which compensated for the fact that electric cars are more expensive to produce.

The party's policy on electric cars

In the party programs both the Conservatives (Høyre) and the Labor Party (Arbeiderpartiet), the Center Party (Senterpartie) and the Social Democrats (SV). They are in favor of introducing the so-called top VAT on electric cars. Progress Party (Fremskrittspartiet) writes in his program that VAT must be technologically neutral, which in this case may mean full VAT also on electric cars. Party Liberalna (Venstre) writes that a purchasing advantage should be maintained as long as the electric car is not competitively priced.

Proposing higher VAT on electric cars will weaken the competitiveness of larger electric cars
