How long shall enjoy E-vehicles privileges? Unlike cars with petrol or diesel they are not subject to the fuel tax – that tax, so that accounts for about half the price of Petrol and the Federal government helps to Finance the construction and maintenance of national roads.
The question arises even more, as vehicles with conventional drive is always more efficient and the revenue from the mineral oil tax already sinking. In addition, the Park of the purely electrically powered vehicles is growing, last year there were close to 30’000.
electric cars today are multiple preferred
in order for no funding gap, will the FDP act-councillor Damian Müller now. All modes of transport, the pay date, no mineral oil tax, shall contribute to the financing of the road infrastructure. Of vehicles with hydrogen propulsion would be affected, for example. The Federal Council must present Parliament with an appropriate template. Thus, according to Müller, would be the financing for the road, and a “fair cost sharing”.
electric cars are today, preferably multiple times. So, the holder must pay the automobile tax, which accounts for about 4 percent of the purchase price, in addition, they are exempt in a part of the cantons by the cantonal motor vehicle tax.
The Council of States discussed Miller’s Motion today is Wednesday. The preliminary advice to the traffic Commission recommends the proposal to rejection. The Tenor: The strike was unnecessary, the Federal government already had the legal basis for a levy on non-fossil fuels should be introduced. In fact, the voting public in 2017, with the national road and agglomeration traffic Fund (NAF) has created the constitutional basis for it. For the discussion of a levy, based on the weight of the car and about 500 Swiss francs for two tons should be is. A Tesla driver would come in with his heavy equipment on the full amount, a driver of a mid-sized car at slightly more than half.
to promote will be Crucial when the policy is weighted, the justice is stronger than the will, the E-mobility.
But when the E-levy is coming, seems more uncertain than ever. Was planned: originally, 2020. The Federal roads office (Astra) announced in 2018, however, it will 2022. The entire Federal Council, however, does not want to set, apparently, on a specific date. In a response to a parliamentary proposal, he spoke last year of a “later” than 2020.
in Addition, the Federal Council announced in December to develop a concept for securing long-term financing of the transport infrastructure. Existing taxes should be replaced by a performance-related charge. May, the Federal Council will integrate the E-tax, this new levy. However, it is questionable whether such a Mobility-Pricing the majority will be capable and the policy around the normal way of it for years. The E-tax would be caught in a political loop. FDP Council of States Müller wants to prevent, by the Federal government introduces the E-delivery today separately.
300’000 E-cars
to promote will be Crucial when the policy is weighted to the aspect of justice is stronger than the will, the E-mobility. According to Astra, this is probably the case if the share of E-car in the Swiss Car is between 7 and 10 percent. So has expressed Astra-Director Jürg Röthlisberger recently to members of Parliament, as informed circles to confirm. Today over 4.6 million passenger cars, so that’s 320’000 420’000 electric cars, more than ten times as much as today. Of this stock, Röthlisberger estimated according to sources, will probably be in the second half of the 2020’s, years reached.
The Astra is not confirmed these Statements on request of this newspaper, denied that they but also. It also takes no position as to a piquant phrase in an unpublished document of the Astra. In the paper, the present of this newspaper, raises the Astra, the only question, as holder of E-cars to their contribution to the financing of the transport infrastructure to make, but also, if at all. Ultimately the decision is up to the Parliament: For the introduction of E-tax, it needs a law.
