      So, we get even less incentives to go electric. Wow.

      Why not levy a higher tax on the ones still burning fossil fuels? I mean, (semi-)electric vehicles are still under 25% of the whole pie and I do not see the reason for such a tax being put on electric vehicles. Especially taxes by weight would directly limit the ranges of those vehicles and that would not make any sense. Tax by charging is absolute madness because it will be such a waste if you do not get a highly efficient charger that has as little energy loss as possible.

    2. Switzerland once again proudly leading from the back of the field!

      I agree that eventually we will need a way to finance roads that takes into account non-combustion vehicles.

      Doing this now though is nothing but a measure designed to hurt the energy transition.

    3. So then I guess I will switch to dinosaur burning again if the savings with my ev are closer to zero. Sad but i am not driving it because of being green.
      Sadly, ölberts tactics may win.

    4. Funny how some people either seem to be angry that EVs should now pay a consumption tax or that the proposal
      comes from Albert Rösti who is an evil SVP oil lobbyist.

      Why not just tax the EV vehicules more than today

      I think they could also increase the price of the vignette for people from abroad and also to start putting fines on people not buying the vignette. Start putting cameras like in Austria to fine these people.

      Both ideas (tax by distance or tax by amount of electricity charged) are not gonna work in practice, unless they put some kind of manipulation-proof measuring device (like with commercial trucks) into all the cars.

      The total distance driven and the battery charge data cannot be trusted for tax purposes, as this data often can be easily manipulated. Any „chip tuning“ or „car electronics repairs“ shop can manipulate the km data, and „car battery repair“ shops (that often need to „hack“ the battery controller to repair a battery) are also becoming increasingly popular.

      Just shows that politicians are still totally clueless about all things digital.

      Also, tax based on electricity charged including private „free“ charging from your own PV system, like, seriously WTF?

      And for the distance driven tax: So how will they track the exempted km (i mean, there aegument is tax is for road usage in Switzerland, right?) driven outside Switzerland?

    7. What did you expect? Revenue from mineral oil tax amounts to around 4 billion per year. If this disappears in the course of the electrification of transport, the money will have to come from somewhere else.

      The tax on charging energy is a foolish idea. You will need separate energy tariffs and meters for your home charger, and it would outright make Vehicle-2-Grid financially unfeasible. So all the benefits of charging cheap energy into your car and selling it at peak prices would be slapped with added taxes, without you even using the roads.

      The road usage fees are much more down to reality. Those who use the road the most will pay the most, and everyone pays the same tax regardless of what kind of car they drive.

      Oh, we can actually tap into new revenue streams and not just increase MwSt? But apparently only for things that help the private sector and not the public one. Public transport needs to increase prices, needs to thin out services while taxes are lowered for the rich and corporations, but we have to build more roads so we can sell more (fossil fuel) cars, and that needs to be financed!

      Love it.

      Also: weight x kilometers would make the most sense to me, as these are the main factors for road degredation. Charging would be a bit harder to track and there’s not so much influence and efficiency gains to have as with ICE cars that were basically taxed the same.

    10. Hamfisted idea to fit an old model to new times.

      Charger idea is dead in water – PV self charge, extra overhead with new tarifs, metering, V2G, people trickle charging on 230v sockets instead of L2charger, charge at work etc

      Per km driven – never. For too many reasons, personally would claim 30-50% km driven are in DE/AT/IT. Prove it’s not true. Device will not be accepted by anyone.

      The oh so green plugin hybrids likely to be except, too complicated.

      The dinosaur-juice taxation model is not suitable for EV age, period. Find a new way, this is not it.

    11. 1L Benzin enthält grob 9kWh Energie und pro Liter fallen 76.82 Rp. Mineralölsteuer an. Rechnet man nun auf eine kWh um, dann wären das 8.54 Rp. / kWh. Wie kommt der Bundesrat auf 22.8 Rp. / kWh ?
