Norway’s electric car policy has never been about making older and used diesel and petrol cars more expensive in the regions – as parliamentary representative Ola Borten Moe and KNA’s Tor Valdvik portray in an article in the An online newspaper.
It is clear that they are trying to build a story that the investment of an electric car creates differences and resistance in society, thus disturbing the readers.
This is the case: The new car market is completely dominated by electric cars
The Electric Vehicle Association’s criticism on national budget day was not about us wanting to increase the use tax for fossil fuel cars, as Borten Moe and Valdvik suggest. We have not recommended that.
Our criticism of the government prioritizing the reduction of road insurance tax, but only if the car pollutes.
Now it’s the van’s turn
A tax cut that makes it a prerequisite that the car pollutes directly goes against what the Center Party and the Labor Party had previously promised Storting: This spring, the Sp and Ap agreed with the SV will return to the Storting in the autumn with an exemption from traffic insurance tax for electric vans, which will compete much worse than electric passenger cars.
Because although the Electric Vehicle Association is most concerned about new car taxes as the main instrument in electric car policy, we also have to look at the usage taxes for the van market. That’s because VAT exemption doesn’t work when there are companies that buy electric vans.
The truth is that the electric car campaign is a climate campaign that is popular with most people, and in all parts of our country.
A ban was never discussed.
The policy has made car buyers to make a climate-friendly choice, as the policy has made it possible. We have come a long way in electrifying passenger cars. Now it is the turn of the vans.
