PIRVEC 2016-2019, Strategic Plan for the deployment of recharging infrastructure of electric vehicles in Catalonia
PIRVEC main objective is to cinvert Catalonia into a place attractive for electric vehicles by ensuring the availability of charging points throughout Catalonia. The strategy has a budget of 5.8 million euros in order to overcome the barriers that, today, prevent Catalonia from reaching the levels of implementation that the electric vehicle has to other countries in Europe.

Decarbonizing logistics and circular economy for traditional markets of fresh products - Urban Electric Vehicles for logistics and supply chains - Notice No. 10310/2018
The programme "Decarbonizing logistics and circular economy for traditional markets of fresh products", established through the Notice No. 10310/2018, is intended to enhance and promote municipal markets in urban centers by structuring hubs and deploying good environmental practices. Among the objectives of the programme, the following were included:
1. Decarbonize the supply chain and delivery logistics of fresh products through the use of zero emission vehicles.
2. Acquisition of zero emission vehicles, including quadricycles, tricycles or bicycles, for freight transport purposes and with the possibility of electric traction. -
Ordinance (2017: 1318) on grants to private persons for the installation of charging points for electric vehicles
…Act (2016: 732); and
4. is prepared for electricity measurement and charging of electricity cost and equipped with at least the outlets or connectors for electric vehicles of type 2 described in the standard EN 62196-2 or of type Combo 2 described in the standard EN 62196-3.
Eligible costs are the material and labor costs needed to install the charging point, such as costs for a charging box and the drawing of electricity.
Labor costs are eligible only if they relate to work performed by someone who is approved for F-tax or, in the case of a… -
China
China’s growing energy needs are increasingly met by renewables, natural gas and electricity. The scale of China’s future electricity demand and the challenge of decarbonising the power supply help explain why global investment in electricity overtook that of oil and gas for the first time in 2016, and why electricity security is moving firmly up the policy agenda. That said, cost reductions for renewables are not sufficient on their own to secure efficient decarbonisation or reliable supply.
Between 2019 and 2024, China will account for 40% of global renewable capacity expansion, driven by improved system integration, lower curtailment…- Overview

Estonia
Estonia has achieved a notable reduction in greenhouse gas emissions thanks mainly to lowering its reliance on electricity generation from domestic oil shale, an energy rich sedimentary rock. However, oil shale remains the main energy source and imported fossil fuels still plan a major role, especially in transport. Estonia’s forests, which historically offset significant greenhouse gas emissions, have become a net emissions source. Estonia is aiming to accelerate its clean energy transition with a target to cover 100% of annual electricity demand with renewables by 2030 as part of a larger package to achieve climate neutrality by 2050. It…

Electric and hydrogen vehicle depreciation (Vamil scheme)
Electric vehicles and charging infrastructure are eligible for accelerated depreciation as part of the "Arbitrary depreciation of environmental investment" (Vamil) scheme, under code F 3109.
Under the scheme, investmenst in a charging station, electric vehicle (including hydrogen fuel cell vehicles) or electric vessel can be written down to 75% in the first year. This depreciation is directly reflected in the result of the company, which reduces an individual's corporation or income tax.
The VAMIL scheme always coincides with the MIlieu Investment Deduction (MIA). -
Tax incentives for zero emission vehicles
Electric vehicles continue to provide preferential rates of Vehicle Excise Duty in comparison to the most polluting vehicles, at £10. Company car tax rates also provide a significant differential between electric vehicles and internal combustion engine vehicles.

Electric Vehicle (EV) 10 year circulation tax exemption
Electric vehicles are exempt from the annual circulation tax for a period of ten years from the date of their first registration.
From July 2016, the government granted an environmental bonus of €4,000 for pure electric and fuel-cell vehicles and
€3,000 for plug-in hybrid and range-extended electric vehicles. -
Electric Vehicle Charging Station Installation Guidelines: Residential and Commercial Locations
With the growing adoption of plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) there is increasing need for
installing both residential and commercial charging stations, also known as electric
vehicle supply equipment (EVSE). Jurisdictions can use this guide as a template to provide straightforward information to homeowners and electrical contractors aboutresidential and commercial EVSE permitting requirements. Within the San Diego region, jurisdictionsare encouraged to use this document directly or modify it to reflect the specific requirements of their agency. -
Road User Charges exemption for heavy vehicles
The Energy Innovation (Electric Vehicles and Other Matters) Amendment Act introduced a RUC exemption for heavy electric vehicles. This will result in significant savings for heavy electric vehicle drivers. This exemption took effect from 1 September 2017.
