Now it has been reported, that as of 2018 electric vehicles with a range less than a 150 km (~93 miles) will not receive any government subsidies whatsoever. Tax benefits for vehicles with a range of above 300 km (~190 miles) will increase.
In the commercial vehicle sector, maximum subsidies are noticeably dropping, as electric buses receive approximately 40% less subsidies compared to 2017, and will be strongly linked to energy efficiency.
