    Norway has had the highest subsidies for electric vehicles in the world. Not sure how it is nowadays but if they aren’t number one they’re definitely in the top. I live in Scandinavia but not in Norway. This is only what I can remember, there may be more:

    • No registration fee. It’s like 10 000 USD for a diesel.
    • No VAT/taxes on the purchase
    • No congestion fees
    • Allowed to drive in bus lanes
    • Free parking
    • No toll fees (and there are tolls absolutely everywhere)

    You can get a brand new Model Y in Norway for about 40 000 USD.

    Just for comparison: that’s roughly what a new premium car costs in neighbouring countries. Add 10K if you want it to be electric. 20k if you want more range than a few km and any kind of comfort and quality.
