According to the Blue-Black savings package, a car insurance tax will also be introduced on electric cars in the future. E-mobility will therefore become (even) more expensive. We spoke to an expert from ÖAMTC about what this means for individual drivers and the market itself.
Originally, there was also talk of introducing the standard consumption tax (NoVA) for e-motorists. Ultimately, the car insurance tax should be extended “only” to “purely electric vehicles” that were previously exempt. Enough money: this step is expected to generate 65 million euros in the state treasury. Obviously from the wallets of those people who, thanks to the tax exemption, had more incentives to buy an electric car that was (significantly) more expensive.
