EVs Incentives that Aren’t Tax Credits

What’s happening? Let’s deep dive.

• California’s 2 decade of giving EV owners access to the car pool lane.
• Paris and San Jose give electric vehicle owners free parking at thousands of metered spaces
• Wuhan, Oslo and other cities give electric vehicles free passage on highways, bridges and tunnels

Why is this important? Some say EV owners would have purchased their vehicles even without the tax credits, so why bother with other incentives. Others say EV sales are still around 1%.

How will this be important? Virtually US manufacturers have announced greater EV rollouts in the future. Build it and they shall come….
