Consumers purchasing a brand-new electric vehicle have to fork out thousands; at times a higher cost than a similar automobile which runs on conventional fuel.
Whilst that is the element of value when getting an automobile using the latest tech, the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure, together with Transport Malta, provide new EV owners the possibility of getting around €4000 back through an incentive purchase scheme.
Furthermore, drivers see a massive reduction in the cost of their annual driving licences which are usually based upon the carbon emissions of their car. With electric vehicles registering zero harmful emissions, yearly licence fees for EVs amount to just €10 per year.
