If you want a family car in Norway be prepared to pay at least 3-400k NOK (€30-40k) after tax. A model 3 starts at 385k and is tax free.
It's about the same price as an entry Toyota Avensis station wagon.
- Symbiote 7y agoNorway is clearly an exception to the usual situation in Europe, due to the very high taxes on purchasing (registering) a car, and the exemption to that tax for electric cars. Denmark also has the tax, but much less (if any, I don't remember) exemption.
- tyfon 7y agoThe exception in Norway is really only the VAT (25%) which is still a lot. But they will never have the CO2/NOX/cylinder volume tax that the fossils have. The VAT might come in a year or two but not the pollution tax. And the pollution tax will increase until 2025 when the sale of new fossils will be banned. However the article claims that the model 3 came in third in all of Europe behind the Golf and Clio, so it's selling well all over Europe not just Norway and the Netherlands. Norway is actually a smallish market now compared to what it used to be in market share for EVs.
