All the benefits we've seen so far for EVs are aimed at the people with a lot of available income, and with financial mechanisms to avoid paying taxes/tax benefits/deductions, like something as simple as owning a company and buy the EV through there - why are Teslas considered business expenses in Portugal?
So again, who is this targeted at?
Don't take me wrong - this is long overdue, but so it is bringing people up to allow them to comply with these reforms. Else this is just another tax to strip people of more of their income. Not only the housing market is being pressured by people with more available income with all the "new-normal" and remote trend, now we will get even more pressure from yet another tax.
EU must start to realize they are walking a fine line, a lot of people are starting to be tired of being the "low cost resort/factory" of Europe.
