Per-kilometre charge introduced. In addition to the revocation of the VAT exemption, a new per-kilometre charge for electric, plug-in hybrid, and hydrogen vehicles was formally adopted at the beginning of this year. This fee amounts to 6 króna per kilometre for electric and hydrogen vehicles and 2 króna per kilometre for plug-in hybrids.
