Basel to end half-price electric car tax break in 2027

Original: Typisch # Schweiz es wurde mal beschlossen, dass EAutos im Kanton BS nur ½ KFZ Steuern zahlen - bis ein 5% Anteil im Ver

In the Swiss canton of Basel-Stadt, electric vehicles were granted half the usual motor vehicle tax until they reached a 5% share of traffic. That threshold has now been passed, with electric cars at 6.1%, and owners have been notified that the full tax will apply from 2027. Commenters are discussing how quietly the promised incentive is being rolled back, with one noting that hardly anyone is protesting the decision.

Why now: A cantonal tax break for electric cars is being scrapped once its target was exceeded, sparking debate about broken incentives
