Momsfritak — Norway's EV VAT exemption (2026): electric cars are exempt from VAT on the purchase price up to 500 000 kr — on the part of the price above that, full VAT (25 %) applies. This is not a cash grant but a tax you don't pay, already built into the price you see at the dealership. We present the benefit separately and do not count it into the total costs above, to avoid double-counting.
