Allowance covering electric car charging at home etc.

The plan demands a coherent strategy for electrification of transport and places responsibility on policy, not the individual, for cheap and easy climate-smart alternatives to exist. Removing the difference between charging at home and publicly is one such removed threshold. The plan's distributive policy objection to tax cuts that benefit the well-off remains as a limitation, but does not determine the issue.

The election manifesto wants to double the number of charging stations to facilitate those who have electric vehicles, and the party programme requires electrification that works for people and economic opportunities for transformation regardless of own resources. The counter-proposal's allowance for charging at the residence aims at the same thing: to make it practical and cost-neutral to drive and charge electric vehicles. The plan therefore speaks for the requirement, although it does not address the specific benefit taxation.

The plan takes no explicit position on what the committee actually decided — often because the committee's reason was procedural. The stance is derived and fully cited, but it does not show the party broke a commitment.

The plan wants charging infrastructure to be expanded throughout the country with targeted support and for those who need a car to be able to afford a climate-smart alternative. The principle is that sustainable choices shall become cheaper and easy to do right. A flat rate that makes home charging cost-neutral compared to public charging serves exactly this purpose, although the plan does not address fringe benefits taxation.

The election manifesto establishes that it should be simple and cheap to install charging for electric cars at home and that electric cars shall be promoted with more charging points and favourable conditions. A calculation that makes home charging tax-free in the same way as public charging follows from this and from the promise not to raise total tax burden. The plan therefore supports the demand.

• cheap home chargingdecisive»Det ska vara enkelt och billigt att installera solpaneler, bygga laddning till elbilar och minska energianvändningen hemma — vare sig man bor i hus eller lägenhet.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“It should be simple and cheap to install solar panels, build charging for electric cars and reduce energy use at home — whether you live in a house or an apartment.”

The plan establishes that more shall choose the electric car and that charging points are needed where we live, work and travel, and that electrification of the transport sector shall be accelerated. A standard that makes charging in connection with housing tax-free facilitates precisely home charging and is thus in line with the commitment. The plan moreover emphasises that tax rules shall be simple and comprehensible.

Det behövs laddstolpar där vi bor, arbetar och reser.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Fossil emissions from the transport sector must go. More shall choose the electric car and an admixture of fossil-free fuels shall continue. Charging points are needed where we live, work and travel.”

The plan requires that taxation be designed so that work is favored while environmentally damaging emissions are counteracted, and that policy supports and accelerates the use of energy-efficient vehicles. A flat rate that makes home charging tax-equivalent with public charging lies in line with this and with the requirement for simple, transparent tax rules. The counter-proposal's requirement for cost-neutrality is thus supported by the plan.

The plan wants to transform the transport sector through electrification and build out charging facilities throughout the country, and it wants to make it cheaper for individuals through a strengthened and expanded green tax deduction. A scheme that makes home charging tax-free removes an obstacle for employers to be able to offer electric vehicles and is thereby in line with the plan. The plan's tax increase ceiling also speaks against home charging being taxed more heavily than public charging.

The plan's explicit objection is that tax subsidies for expensive electric cars are in practice paid by those who themselves lack the opportunity to benefit from the advantage. An expanded tax exemption for home charging of a company car is precisely such a directed subsidy. The plan wants instead for the conversion of the vehicle fleet to take time on market terms and places its tax relief on fuel for ordinary motorists.

• against electric car subsidiesdecisive»Subventioner av dyra elbilar som främst används av människor i större städer som dessutom har goda inkomster får i praktiken betalas av de som saknar förutsättningar att själva ta del av förmånerna.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Subsidies for expensive electric cars, which are primarily used by people in larger cities who also have good incomes, are in practice paid by those who lack the prerequisites to benefit from the advantages.”
• distributive policy objection»De flesta har inte råd att köpa en ny bil, men tvingas samtidigt betala för skattesubventioner för dem som har råd att köpa dyra elbilar och även betala för stora bidrag till kollektivtrafiken via skattsedeln.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Most people cannot afford to buy a new car, but are at the same time forced to pay tax subsidies for those who can afford to buy expensive electric cars and also pay for large grants to public transport via the tax bill.”
• conversion on market terms»En omställning av fordonsflottan behöver både av ekonomiska och ekologiska skäl få ta tid, och ske utifrån marknadens villkor.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“For both economic and ecological reasons, a conversion of the vehicle fleet needs to be allowed to take time, and occur on market terms.”
