A couple of years back, we purchased a Tesla Y, we think EV´s are the future so we liked the idea of contributing to the environment. We also noticed that Aargau (where we currently live), is one of the few cantons that does not offer any benefit if you buy an EV.
They don’t support you with the installation of a charger at your place in any way, they don’t support you with any money to finance the EV. What is even worse, is that the road tax (license plate) costs even double from what we were paying for our Nissan Qashqai we had before.
The reason? Well, their argument is that they charge the road tax based on the power of the engine. And because the Tesla Y LR has a very powerful Engine, we have to pay double the amount.
I personally think this is completely out of date and a lack of common sense.
Does anyone know if this is going to change anytime soon in Aargau?
How it is in your Canton?
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

Dang – that’s really unfortunate. One can argue whether there should be subsidies or not and so.
But the fact that you are paying more for the road tax on the Tesla rather than the ICE is crazy.
