I think there’s an interesting discussion to be made around this topic. The only reason it perhaps should be in here is the page keeps on reloading on mobile.

#4>The Dutch numbers are inflated by lavish incentives. In the next fiscal year, the incentives in the UK will be even more lavish.
Norway was an early adopter of large subsidies/driving perks for EVs. It looks like other countries are following suit.
This obviously bodes well for Tesla—-I wonder if anybody has insight about what this could mean for Chinese EVs if they make it to Europe.

#6Not surprising given the heavy taxes on gas cars and the Model 3's accuracy on the luxury/price/features sweet spot.

#7The one thing I really can not get over with Tesla is the dashboard. That giant screen that looks so misplaced.
Cars always used to be the pinnacle of thought out design. And Tesla is supposed to be catering the more stylish crowd I think.
I wonder how they decided to place a standard screen to the right of the driver.
It will be interesting to see if other car manufacturers will adopt this design decision. Then it would be a bit like in the smartphone world, where ugly camera bumps on the back are the norm now.
There are almost no physical products that you can not get in a nice design these days. Everything seems to exist in perfectly designed versions. Headphones, tables, knifes, socks, glasses, lamps, bed sheets ... It's fascinating that phones are the one type of product that fell off a cliff. Will cars be next?

More accurate : the EV tax deduction will be dialed back. There has been some controversy about the deduction as it has totalled way more than projected.
And it is interpreted by some ( me too ) as a tax relief for rich people.

#9Note that the chart is about the specific models. For example VW and Ford have two models on this list.

#10As someone who lived in Amsterdam for one year (I'm originally from Israel)
I was extremely impressed by how the government create a solid infrastructure for electric car owners to charge their car batteries.
