Incentives are to be anounced next week. If they follow the so called “climate panel” they will be horrible.. a Tesla will actually go up in price..
- lucideer 8y agoDo you have a link to the "climate panel's" recommendations that increase the Tesla price? I can't find any specific recommendations with actual numbers, only general stuff on suggested areas for inventivising BEVs.
- martin_bech 8y agoThe idea is that EVs are fully taxed the danish 150% car tax (on top og the danish 25% sales tax) but get a discount of about 50.000 DKK or just under 8.000USD.. For a base Tesla Model S, that would mean a tax of about 120.000 USD..
- daveFNbuck 8y agoWhat's the current tax on a base Tesla Model S?
- kalms 8y ago20% I believe https://www.tesla.com/da_DK/support/incentives https://www.tesla.com/da_DK/support/incentives (Danish)
- martin_bech 8y agoYes but thats 20% of the 150% so more like 30%. As the system is now, it will be 40% of the 150% by january.
- daveFNbuck 8y agoSo you're saying the taxes on a 65.200 USD car will increase by 30.000 USD, with only 8.000 USD in discounts to offset the increase?
- martin_bech 8y agoyes..
- daveFNbuck 8y agoTesla is already selling all the cars they can make. If the goal is a higher percentage of electric cars on the road, subsidizing them won't help. The more important thing is to incentivize other manufacturers to produce more electric vehicles.
- bluGill 8y agoTo play devils advocate: electric cars are a niche, Sure Tesla can sell out. The niche is large enough - for more players, but ultimately electric cars will top out at a small fraction of the total vehicle market. Of course this is predicting the future. Nobody does that well. In a few years we will have facts, but that doesn't say much about the future beyond that.
- daveFNbuck 8y agoThat's the future that governments are trying to avoid by subsidizing electric cars and/or restricting gasoline-powered cars.
- bluGill 8y agoThere are some disadvantages of electric cars which may or may not be solvable.
- nielsbot 8y agoSure, some ICE may remain around for special uses, but I guess the vast majority of people will be fine w an electric car. (Especially in 2030)
- logifail 8y agoBy coincidence, I'll be picking up a brand new (ICE) vehicle from my dealer in just over 12 hours' time. The electric version of the vehicle I'm buying costs just a shade over twice as much(!) as the ICE version. I'm not fine paying more than twice as much for a product that in many respects is "less good".
