The Cabinet must take billions to make everyone in electric cars

In recent months, environmental and automotive clubs have come together to encourage electric driving in the interest of the environment. The government is only aiming to sell electric cars in 2030.

If this is not stimulated, it is only 30%.

Acquisition Grant

A substantial grant must encourage people to buy an electric car. It is especially the fast people who benefit from it. The subsidy to the purchase must rise to 6,000 euros in 2021.

In the following years, the amount of the subsidy will increase to 2200 euros in 2030.

In thousands of euros

No tax on motor vehicles / motor vehicles is now paid. This should remain the case for the next five years,

From 2025, electric cars will have a fixed amount of bpm of 350 euros per car at zero emission. From then on, these cars will also pay the tax on motor vehicles, but much less than for polluting cars.

First, they pay a quarter of the normal rate, which increases in the years to 45% of the amount to be paid for a normal car.

Additional tax on

To fund the stimulation of electric cars, excise duties on gasoline and diesel increase by 1 cent in 2020 and again by 1 cent in 2023. There is will have a so-called innovation bonus for owning each car. Between 2021 and 2025, it will be 25 euros a year, after that, it will be 50 euros.

For polluting cars, there is an additional charge.

Clear

All the projects together do not yet lead to 100% electric driving in 2030. No project has yet been developed for the years after 2025, because it is clear what remains necessary for stimulate electrical driving.

Some people think that the transition to electric driving will go faster than expected. The stimulation may then no longer be necessary.

Account Accounting

The government must also begin preparations for the introduction of road pricing, says the table of mobility. According to the editors, road pricing is necessary for the public treasury, the climate and the fight against traffic jams.

CO2 Emissions

Due to the growing number of electric cars, treasure revenues are falling rapidly in the coming years. Environmentally friendly cars are less taxed than polluting cars. Driving in constraint would also be a solution to fight against traffic jams. In addition, road pricing can help reduce CO2 emissions.

The Cabinet does not want to introduce road pricing during this period. Minister Van Nieuwenhuizen (Infrastructure and Public Works) believes that the parties at the mobility table have further developed this option.
