Comment on Over 80 percent of new cars sold in Norway were electric in 2023
DacoTaco@lemmy.world 10 months agoFair, in regard to tax advantagea they shouldnt be the same as electric. I agree with that.
Its stupid that my audi has the same tax advantages as a kia ev6 despite it beeing bad, and if not worse, for the environment.
But i wouldnt say that law wise they should be considered like ice cars, They arent that. Optimally, they should be considered what they are : hybrids, a step between ice and ev. They arent ice and they arent ev’s either. Yet, as is, nobody looks at hybrids so we just deal with them like ev’s. Better that than ice imo

Self charging hybrid is easy, they should be considered ICE no doubt IMO.
But I agree it’s more difficult with plug in hybrid. Because they may drive 90% as an EV, or they may drive 90% as an ICE car, that was just cheaper because it had a tax advantage.
Problem is if you tax them close to EV, it will be exploited by people who kind of use them just like ICE cars.
However in Norway it will soon not matter much, because all cars that have any kind of Internal combustion engine, is considered ICE, and will be illegal to sell from 2025!
Maybe a bit dramatic, but if they are already at 80% EV of new car sales, they are definitely on track.

Oh ye, in the case with norway, if electric is working then fuck hybrids!
