In the city of Stockholm, the Social Democrats are in power with the support of the Green Party.
The only reason we got an electric car is because we live in the heart of Stockholm city where there are different environmental zones. The Social Democrats and the Green Party will expand the environmental zones rather than reduce them.
Currently, the energy tax on gasoline and diesel as well as the carbon dioxide tax gives the Swedish state tax revenue of roughly $1.429 billion per year. On top of these taxes, 25% VAT is also added.
As the vehicle fleet is electrified or replaced by vehicles powered by biofuels, road pricing will become an attractive alternative when these revenues fall. There is not a country in the world that sits idly by and watches billions of revenue go up in smoke.
