Electric cars: Tax benefits and incentives (2024) – ACEA

The updated 2024 edition offers a comprehensive look at the tax benefits and incentives for electric vehicles and charging infrastructure in the 27 EU member states, Iceland, Norway, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.

Top insights

• All EU member states offer some form of tax benefit (either acquisition or ownership) for electric vehicles, although there is significant disparity and fragmentation between the schemes in each country 
• Tax benefits for electric company cars are less widespread with only 17 member states offering them 
• There are no purchase incentives available in six member states:
