How government incentives encourage EV adoption

Some government incentives promote electric vehicle adoption by reducing upfront costs, making them more accessible and cheaper to infleet. Some recent European incentives that work include:

  • Tax benefits: Commercial EVs may benefit from VAT deductions or exemptions
  • Rebates and grants: These reduce the price at the point of sale, making EVs more competitive
  • Reduced registration fees: These include reduced fees or exemptions from tolls to make an EV more appealing.

These incentives increase EV sales and popularity in the new and used car markets, but discounts can impact vehicle resale values.

How government incentives can harm electric vehicle values

Although incentives help boost EV sales, they also carry negative effects that you should be aware of:

  • Price cuts lead to an initial decrease in residual values: Discounts drive competition among comparable models, often lowering other EVs’ values in the new-car market
  • Incentives only apply to new cars: Used EVs don’t receive the same incentives as new EVs, making it difficult to maintain their value
  • Policy changes: Changing policies cause market volatility, therefore making values less predictable and EV models more of a financial risk.

Incentives are one of many volatile market influencers that make it difficult to accurately value your fleet. Powered by cutting-edge market data, Rødboka Online provides access to the latest values for 99% of vehicles using only a reg number.

Why the long-term value of EVs is improving

As government incentives phase out and transitioning to electric becomes more mainstream, residual values are expected to stabilise.

As more fleets and consumers choose EVs, the market should become more predictable. Depreciation rates are also expected to align more closely with internal combustion engine vehicles.

Governments worldwide are prioritising electromobility and implementing new emissions policies.
