        Market Transformation through Introduction of Energy Efficient Electric Vehicles Project (E-Trike Project)

        …ADB) and the Clean Technology Fund (CTF), the DOE is implementing the Market Transformation through Introduction of Energy Efficient Electric Vehicles Project or the E-Trike Project to promote energy efficiency and clean technologies in the transport sector. It aims to reduce the sector’s annual petroleum consumption by 2.8 percent (based on 20 million barrels annual consumption in 2010) and to avoid CO2 emission of estimated 259,008 tons annually by shifting to 100,000 electric tricycles (e-trikes).

        Timeline:
        2012: commissioning of design

        Guidelines for the development of electric vehicles charging infrastructure

        In line with the objectives of the 'Guidance on Accelerating the Construction of Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure' by the State Council, this guideline seeks to set out a framework through which to systematically improve the charging infrastructure of electric vehicles (EV) and to promote the healthy and rapid development of the EV industry.
         
        The guideline sets targets in accordance with projections of EV demand. Thus by 2020:


        More than 12,000 new centralised charging and batter replacement stations will be added
        More than 4.8 million decentralised charging stations shall be added to meet the expected demand of 5 million…

        Registration Tax Benefit for All-Electric Vehicles

        The ISV (Imposto Sobre Veiculos) is a registration tax that is only paid once when the vehicle is first registered in Portugal.

         

        ISV is calculated on the basis of two criteria: the engine cubic capacity and CO2 emissions. Some types of vehicles, such as commercial and motorcycles, pay ISV based on the engine feature only.

         

        In Portugal, there are no taxes for buying an used car - only pay the registration fee. There are no regional taxes too.

         

        All-electric vehicles do not pay ISV nor IUC (Imposto Único Circulação / circulation tax).

        ACC Levies for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles

        ACC levy rates for 2017/18 and 2018/19 will see owners of all electric vehicles (including owners of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles) pay reduced ACC levies as part of their annual vehicle licensing. This reflects a saving of around $68 per annum for electric vehicle owners. The changes took effect on 1 July 2017.
        The change is a temporary measure that supports the Electric Vehicles Programme, and allows further work to be done on how the ACC levy system accommodates new vehicle technologies.
