India cut VAT on electric vehicles to 5%

-

The Indian government has decided to cut VAT on electric vehicles from 12% to 5% and charging stations from 18% to 12%. In addition, the purchase of electric buses by the municipalities is exempt from VAT.

The changes will come into force on 1 August 2019. The VAT on petrol and diesel remains at 28 percent. With the tax cut, the Indian government wants to reduce the price difference between the two types of power in order to make electric cars more affordable.

In combination with a spacious interior, this solution not only adds to the comfort of the driver but also frees up more space on the dashboard for other functions. At the same time, control of 90% of the functions of the electric vehicle is carried out using the buttons on the joysticks , the ergonomics of which make it possible to call this a truly intuitive interface. source https://www.electrichunter.com/hyundai-electric-cars/hyundai-prophecy-concept-ev-special-air-purification-system
