Economic benefits of choosing an electric car

More and more people are now opting to switch to electric cars. The main reasons for the success of electric cars are all the advantages - both the economic and practical ones.

Electric cars have lower taxes upon purchase, you benefit from reduced toll charges, you pay at most half price for ferries, and you can park at discounted rates or for free in public parking areas. Check with your municipality for local pricing. While saving the environment, you save money too!

    When purchasing an electric car, you have lower one-time fees and are exempt from VAT on purchases under 500,000 kr. When leasing, it is the leasing company that buys the electric car and thus avoids paying one-time fees and VAT on the car price. However, when choosing an electric car, you as a leasing customer are exempt from paying VAT on financial costs for cars under 500,000 kr, which can result in lower monthly lease payments.

    Toll Charges: The Parliament has decided that electric car drivers should pay a maximum of 70 percent of what fossil fuel cars pay. However, there may be local variations. Check the website of the relevant toll company for prices.

    Parking: Electric cars often receive discounted rates compared to fossil fuel cars for parking in municipally owned parking lots. However, this may vary from municipality to municipality, so check with your municipality for the correct price. Note that private parking companies determine their own prices.

    Ferries: The Parliament has decided that electric car drivers should pay at most half of what petrol and diesel cars pay for ferries. This applies to both national and county roads.

Choosing an electric car saves you time. You can avoid the morning rush in the carpool lane and skip the trip to the gas station if you charge at home overnight. It also doesn't have to compromise on driving comfort and enjoyment. Today's electric cars are modern and equipped with contemporary features. Additionally, you reduce your environmental footprint - a classic win-win situation.
