Some of these also apply to hybrids -- typically 50% of the full BEV amount Links with more info (the first link is missing at least Ohio, the consumer reports link shows the % increase over the gas tax)... https://www.myev.com/research/intere...ectric-vehicle https://www.consumerreports.org/hybr...tric-vehicles/ Quote:

Phase 1: Incentivize EV purchases. Norway did this by reducing VAT on EVs to 0%, along with a reduction in the VAT for PHEVs. They also eliminated tolls reduced the annual registration taxes for EVs. This created a strong incentive for EVs by making them significantly less expensive to buy (VAT is 25%) and operate. Result is that the majority of new car sales in Norway are now electrified (EV and PHEV). Phase 2: Make ICEs more expensive to buy and operate. This has been done adding a 20% carbon tax on new ICE car sales. Norway is also increase tolls and fees for all vehicles. For tolls, since EVs are coming off a baseline of $0, they are still less expensive to drive. This will be done in phases and tolls will eventually double for ICE and return to the "normal" rate for EVs over the next couple years. Phase 3: Reintroduce VAT on EVs. Earlier this year, a proposal was to include VAT on higher priced EVs, but only the portion over 600k kroner (about $65k). At some point they will either bring that threshold down, or introduce a graduated VAT on EVs. Result is that Norway hit 60% electrified new car sales in 2020...

So many similarities there with the US, it’s hard to count them all. Obviously easy to port their solution to the US, a country that spans a continent, right? Come on, dude.

I am not policing the thread, just annoyed when it ceases to be about the Cayman 4.0 GTS?

This is a strange comment, I noticed today driving my Cayman on the parkway that the dead pedal was a little closer in then on some other cars, I am wondering if in this case the pedal is even closer in on the GTS ... the wheel base as well as the tire sizes are identical ... I am tempted to post on rennlist to find out ... |

When I'm struggling with a decision, I sometimes find it helpful to write out lists of pros and cons. Perhaps that could help you here.
(sorry...i just had to)

A local dealer (the one that wanted a deposit to put me on the waiting list) sent me an e-mail and left me two voicemails on Thursday. Marisa and I were in the backwoods of NY state at the time so I didn't actually get the notifications until a few hours later.
Turns out they got a GTS in and wanted to know if I wanted to test drive it. I briefly got excited but then I read the message more closely... a 2015 GTS. |
