;Government incentives

In 2006 electric cars were exempted from the consumption tax, while conventional vehicles faced a 30% rate.

In October 2012, electric cars were exempted from San José's driving restrictions.{{cite news |url=http://www.nacion.com/economia/Carros-hibridos-electricos-Costa-Rica_0_1352064817.html|title=Carros híbridos y eléctricos se abren paso en Costa Rica |language=es|trans-title=Hybrid and electric cars make their way in Costa Rica |author=Camila Salazar |work=La Nación (San José)|date=6 July 2013|access-date=6 July 2013}} EVs were exempted from import duties and the government agreed to deploy charging stations in strategic locations in San José.{{cite web|url=http://www.crhoy.com/minae-anuncia-convenio-para-insertar-taxis-verdes-en-el-pais/|title=MINAE anuncia convenio para insertar taxis "verdes" en el país|author=Daniela Garcia|date=21 January 2013|publisher=Costa Rica Hoy|language=es|trans-title=Ministry of Environment and Energy announces agreement to introduce green taxis|access-date=1 May 2013|archive-date=16 December 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131216051649/http://www.crhoy.com/minae-anuncia-convenio-para-insertar-taxis-verdes-en-el-pais/|url-status=dead}}

In January 2018, the "Law for the Promotion of Electric Transportation" went into effect, which promotes the adoption of electric vehicles through the implementation of incentives and tax exemptions when purchasing an all-electric car. The law grants exemption from three taxes: value added, selective consumption and import duties, 100% for electric vehicles price at {{USD|30,000}} CIF, and the exempted percentage is reduced gradually as the value goes up, with a cap of {{USD|60,000}}. Electric vehicles are also exempt from the annual circulation fee, which phases out by 20% each year during a five-year period.{{cite news|url=https://semanariouniversidad.com/ultima-hora/costa-rica-aprueba-ley-incentivos-transporte-electrico/ |title=Costa Rica aprueba Ley de Promoción del Transporte Eléctrico | language=Spanish |trans-title=Costa Rica approves Law for the Promotion of Electric Transportation | first=Rita |last=Valverde | work=Semanario Universidad | date=25 January 2018 |access-date=22 January 2022}} The price cap was removed in 2022 and each of the tax exemptions gradually decreases over a period of 12 years until all phase out.

Up to and including 2015, electric cars had been exempt from vehicle registration tax, but it was decided that this would be gradually outphased: In 2016, the vehicle registration tax for electric cars was placed at 20% of the normal rate, in 2017 it was planned to increase to 40% and within five years it would become the full rate. This had a large effect on the sale, which drastically fell in 2016–17.{{cite news| last=Valeur | first=Simon | date=20 February 2017 | title=Motoren er gået i stå for dansk salg af elbiler | url=https://www.berlingske.dk/virksomheder/motoren-er-gaaet-i-staa-for-dansk-salg-af-elbiler | publisher=Berlingske | access-date=2 January 2022 }} As a consequence, it was decided that the increase in vehicle registration tax for electric vehicles would be delayed, being capped at 20% of the normal rate in 2017–19, then gradually increasing until 2023 where it would become the full rate. A new fund for fuel cell vehicles was also started.{{cite web |url=https://electrek.co/2017/04/19/denmark-electric-vehicle-incentive/|title=Denmark to relaunch its electric vehicle market with incentives after a year with almost no sales|author=Fred Lambert|author-link=Fred Lambert |date=19 April 2017|publisher=Electritec}}

In 2020, a new taxation deal was reached, valid for all cars from 2021 to 2030. Its rates depend heavily on the {{CO2}}-emission of the car. This means that vehicle registration tax for all-electric cars (BEVs) that cost less than 510,000 DKK (€68,500) will remain very low with a slower than initially planned gradual increase to normal levels, most plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) will increase from 2021 but remain lower than gasoline and diesel cars, and diesel cars will increase. The goal of this plan is to have at least 775,000 electric cars (BEV or PHEV) by 2030. Combined with other plans, it is the goal to have at least 1 million zero-emission or low-emission cars by 2030 and that no new gasoline or diesel cars will be sold in the country from that year.{{cite web| title=Aftale mellem regeringen, Radikale Venstre, Socialistisk Folkeparti og Enhedslisten om: Grøn omstilling af vejtransporten (4.

The offer and demand for electric vehicles in the South American nation is reduced. Electric charging stations are present in several shopping malls and public parking in Guayaquil, Quito, Cuenca, Ambato and Loja.

In Ecuador, all electric vehicles are exempt from customs duties and taxes starting in June 2019. The electric vehicle offer in the country is set to increase. The Ecuadorean government has been incentivizing the us of electric vehicles with tax cuts. However, both the offer and demand remained short, encouraging the government to eliminate all duties to electric vehicles.

The first commercially available EV was Kia Soul EV 2016. Being at the moment the brand with the most presence of EV in Ecuador. As of 2021 KIA, BYD and Nissan are among the EV brands offering vehicles for the Ecuadorian market.

As of the start of 2020, Electric Vehicles (EVs) was as a proportion of all cars for sale in Ireland very small, which could be seen in a snapshot (7 February 2020) of four different car sales websites (Autotrader.ie, Carsireland.ie, Carzone.ie, and Donedeal.ie) which showed that out of circa 38,000 to 70,000 cars listed for sale, only circa 0.7% to 1.1% were EV's, so in real terms only 431–616 EV cars were advertised for sale in the market.

This very low level of EVs compared poorly to the circa 25,338 to 46,940 diesel cars shown available for sale on the same date, representing a much larger, circa 64–67% of the market at that time.

The Irish Government (to January 2020) had stated an aim to ban the sale of petrol, diesel and hybrid new ('non-electric') cars from 2030 (compared to the proposed EU ban by 2040, and the UK's proposed ban on the sale of new petrol, diesel and hybrid cars from 2035 as announced in the first week of February 2020) though car dealers were reported in 2020 to consider the Irish Government's target for one million electric and plug-in hybrid cars to be in use by 2030, as far too ambitious, though Government grants of up to €10,000 also available (as of 2020)(The Irish Times, 7 February 2020). It was also reported (The Irish Times, 7 February 2020) in the Irish newspapers in February 2020 that there were at that time about 1,200 electric car (EV) charging points in Ireland, but that this was compared to Norway, the European leader in EV transition, with approximately 12,000 charging stations for circa 300,000 EVs and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEV).

A compromise in terms of transition and non-electric ban implementation around 2030 maybe for acceptance also of Hybrid cars with smaller conventional petrol engines (regardless of whether the vehicles are 'full' or 'mild' hybrids) of for example at/ less than 1.6-liter (1600 cc) capacity, and/ or say less circa 100 g/km {{CO2}} or less in terms of emissions, or a good fuel efficiency rating (L/100 km ) for highway/extra urban and 'combined' journeys.

Nepal is one of the best countries to buy an EV. Electric cars are actually a better deal in Nepal due to following reasons:

1. Extremely low import tax compared to fossil fuel vehicle. (238% for fuel and 10% for electric)
2. Hydropower makes it clean energy. (91% of the electricity comes from hydro in Nepal)
3. No fossil fuel production. (Nepal imports fossil fuels and the prices are usually high)

Other factors contributing to the rapid adoption of plug-in electric vehicles are the Netherlands' small size, which reduces range anxiety; a long tradition of environmental activism; high gasoline prices ({{USD|8.50}} per gallon as of January 2013); and some EV leasing programs that provide free or discounted gasoline-powered vehicles for covering long distances.

{{As of|2021|12}}, about 35,300 light-duty plug-in electric vehicles were registered in New Zealand. The majority of the fleet consists of used imports from Japan and the most popular used model is the Nissan Leaf with 13,900 registered.

Another record was set in 2018 and repeated in 2019, as the top 5 best selling passenger car models in both years were all plug-in electric models.

The Norwegian government set a series of incentives to promote the adoption of zero emission vehicles (ZEVs). Electric vehicles are exempt from all non-recurring vehicle fees, making electric cars price competitive with conventional cars. BEVs have lower public parking fees and toll payments (including domestic ferries), as well as given access to bus lanes. Plug-in hybrids have a smaller market share than ZEVs because they are not eligible for the same incentives.{{cite web |url=http://www.emc-mec.ca/files/Electric_Mobility_Canada_2008_open.pdf|title=Electric Vehicle Policies in Norway|author=Lars Ole Valøen|access-date=24 October 2012|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120302034445/http://www.emc-mec.ca/files/Electric_Mobility_Canada_2008_open.pdf|archive-date=2 March 2012}}{{cite web |url=http://www.elbil.no/om-elbilforeningen/english-please |title=The Norwegian Electric Vehicle Association |author=Norsk Elbilforening |publisher=Norsk Elbilforening (Norwegian Electric Vehicle Association) |date=October 2012 |access-date=24 October 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121011060518/http://elbil.no/om-elbilforeningen/english-please |archive-date=11 October 2012}}{{cite web |url=http://www.gronnbil.no/nyheter/fortsatt-godt-elbilsalg-i-mai-article337-239.html|title=Fortsatt godt elbilsalg i mai|trans-title=Still good EV sales in May|publisher=Grønn bil|date=5 June 2013 |language=no |access-date=6 June 2013|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130807115953/http://www.gronnbil.no/nyheter/fortsatt-godt-elbilsalg-i-mai-article337-239.html|archive-date=7 August 2013}} In 2013 the government reduced taxes for to improve PHEV sales.{{cite web |url=http://www.gronnbil.no/nyheter/billigere-plug-in-hybrider-fra-1-juli-article338-239.html |title=Billigere PHEVer fra 1.juli |trans-title=Cheaper PHEVs from 1 July |publisher=Grønn bil |date=5 June 2013 |language=no |access-date=6 June 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130807123118/http://www.gronnbil.no/nyheter/billigere-plug-in-hybrider-fra-1-juli-article338-239.html |archive-date=7 August 2013}}
