New vehicle tax for electric cars: Now the cost trap is coming!

The Austrian government surprisingly decided to extend the engine -related insurance tax on electric cars. From now on, e-car owners are confronted with considerable additional costs, which, depending on the model and vehicle weight, can vary between 70 and over 2,000 euros annually, as kosmo.at. This measure affects both existing and newly approved electric vehicles and becomes a financial burden for many that has not been calculated beforehand.

For example, owners of a Skoda Enyaq have to expect annual additional costs of around 480 euros, while the BMW i4 costs around 530 euros. E-cars such as Tesla Y are even faced with an additional load of 950 euros. The tax calculation takes into account both the continuous power of the electric motor and the vehicle weight, which can lead to a higher tax burden if there are inaccuracies in the registration certificate.
In addition, the tax requirements are also strictly for plug-in hybrids, as Müller from the ÖAMTC stipulates: "We recommend examining the tax burdens in advance in order to avoid unpleasant surprises." href = "https://winfuture.de/news,149348.html"> Winfuture.de emphasizes that e-motorcycles will also be subject to engine-related tax in the future, while e-mopeds continue to benefit from this exception.
