Federal governments commonly tax motorists with registration fees, tolls, and fuel taxes. These funds support infrastructure projects, helping to maintain and establish public roadways. While registration charges still apply to electric vehicles, EV customers also sidestep fuel taxes and benefit from incentive programs.
Several countries are already addressing EV tax breaks. The U.K. recently decreased its incentive program for electric motorcycles models over £10,000 ($11,900 USD) such as Harley-Davidson's LiveWire and Zero’s SR/F. Conversely, Italy reinforced its commitment to an electric future by distributing €650M ($688M USD) in tax breaks to electric vehicle customers from 2022 to 2024.
