Benefits for electric cars in the European Union

Die Vorteile, die sich aus dem Kauf oder Besitz eines Elektroautos ergeben, sind in der Europäischen Union hoch, aber es ist auch wichtig zu beachten, dass es große Unterschiede zwischen den Ländern gibt, die nicht nur das Engagement der einzelnen Länder im Kampf gegen den Klimawandel widerspiegeln, sondern auch ihre wirtschaftlichen Unterschiede.

26 der 27 Staaten bieten Anreize und Vorteile für den Kauf oder Besitz eines Elektroautos. Die einzige Ausnahme ist Litauen. 20 Staaten gewähren außerdem einen Bonus für den Kauf eines Elektro- oder Hybridautos, wobei in einigen Staaten auch berücksichtigt wird, ob das vorherige Auto verschrottet wurde. Sechs Staaten gewähren ihren Bürgern lediglich Steuervorteile.

Aber selbst zwischen diesen 20 Staaten gibt es große Unterschiede. Der mit Abstand höchste Bonus beim Autokauf wird in Rumänien gewährt - bis zu 10.000 EUR für den Kauf eines neuen Elektroautos, in Kroatien gibt es 9.200 EUR und in Deutschland sind es 9.000 EUR. In Finnland hingegen beträgt der Bonus nur 2.000 EUR.
