Sweden has a 40k SEK (4700isch US$) incentive for electric cars.
... and they have some very good neighbors Which probably helps to raise awareness on Tesla in Sweden...

Tesla is doing really well in Belgium and Switzerland.
What are the special incentives in Belgium and Switzerland that are pushing Tesla forward?
It seems Tesla is also starting to gain traction in Sweden and Austria. What are the special incentives here?
Belgium also has a very favourable tax regime for company cars. You'll find that most Tesla's sold in Belgium are through this scheme.
schonelucht; said:Switzerland is a rich country whose currency massively appreciated overnight (literally!) which gave everything foreign a 10-20% discount.
schonelucht; said:Also, I want to point out that while Belgium, Sweden and Austria are doing ok, there is no way to compare their numbers per capita with the leading countries were incentives have been absolutely massive (read worth over 100% of the car).
157 as of Saturday...
I never said 70D. I said 70...In Sweden a BMW 730d starts at 898,200 sek.
In Sweden a Tesla Model S 70d starts at 854,950 sek.
In Sweden an Audi A8 starts at 828,000 sek.
I never said 70D. I said 70...
Anyway. I know they are there price wise. But for the bmw or audi you really need to add a lot of options to get a decent car. With a Tesla, not so much...
Also, the current company car taxation make a tesla affordable if you're a small business owner or can get a company car. Tye others, not so much.
It seems to me the big "incentives" of NO & DK are similar to the relief one would get from no longer hitting self over the head with a hammer.
In those countries, all cars are hit with shockingly penalizing taxes -- with the present exception of electric vehicles, which are sold more or less at actual price or at least more mildly taxed. That exception not really a subsidy, as I see it. But it does contribute to the sales of those cars!
Regarding making people walk or ride bikes through the tax code; the freedom to be perfect is no freedom at all.
In the name of reducing government healthcare cost governments can force you to give up salt, fats, meats, tobacco,sugar etc. How about taxing television and television service;mobile phones and mobile phone service to encourage people to get off the couch and exercise?
If a bank levies a ATM cash withdrawal charge of $1 for each time you take out money (to encourage you to take fewer times bigger amounts) - that's heralded as "a good business move" as it aligns the banks and your interest through an incentive. If a government now supports healthy behaviors to save tax payers money that's all bad?!?
