Environmentally conscious car owners now pay up to 1000 euros more per year: “The criteria are unfair and partly in terms of climate protection!”, Various Burgenländer -practice practices strong criticism.
Decided in March, implemented on April 1 – now it’s time to pay! The introduction of the engine -related insurance tax on electric cars raises dust with the owners. The financial burden for the driver (31) of a Fiat 500, which you need from home in Mattersburg to Eisenstadt, lies within limits: “Instead of 75 euros for insurance, my environmentally friendly small car costs me a total of 100 euros, two months extra payment every four weeks,” she says.
500 euros more
The driver of an Audi brand from Neusiedl has to dig deeper into her pocket. It delivers 500 euros more to the treasury each year. “It hurts, but is manageable,” notes the mother of two.
Stationary for performance values
On the other hand, criticism of the federal government in electric vehicles of larger dimension is violent. The steering wheel of a Tesla Model 3 feels unfairly treated. “The problem starts with the much too high performance in the registration certificate that manufacturers often indicate. In my case, 153 kW is mentioned in the nominal duration, which can be reached on the test bench, but not even close to the company. But I have to pay for 153 kW,” is irritated by Lukas Lach from Rotenturm. From now on he leaves 730 euros more a year.
Family pays more than 900 euros more
This is not sufficient for him a serious problem: “For inexplicable reasons, the tax authorities that have been compiled to allow the gasoline to allow the higher weight of the E-cars. The electric vehicles are blamed for damage on the street and the owners are asked to pay hard.
From his point of view, the grotesque: “The higher weight is due to larger batteries, which are much more efficient and better recovered. This means that the energy is easier to recover when driving.” A positive effect in the meaning of the environment, which is even more important for the e-family. For a few with two children who have a Tesla model Y, this means extra extra expenses of 912 euros.
The criticism of the e-AUTO tax becomes louder: “An informed rapid admission of the government!” Laugh: “The criteria are unjust, only to fill the budget with 80 million euros. This does not serve climate protection.”
