After all, it is on this day that the people's deputies are to adopt in the second reading bills No. 1912 and No. 1913 — on the abolition of VAT and import duty for electric vehicles. Note that the first step was taken in May, when 245 deputies approved this initiative.
If the decision is made in favor of consumers, experts predict a surge in the market – about 10 thousand electric vehicles in 2016. To morally pressure the elected officials, the day after tomorrow, owners of electric cars plan to picket near the Verkhovna Rada. In addition, Ukrainian sellers of such cars intend to arrange a free test drive for the elected officials.
If the Verkhovna Rada approves the abolition of duties and VAT for electric vehicles, they should become significantly cheaper for Ukrainians. This especially applies to used models, which are relatively inexpensive in the USA and Europe. True, as Autoportal has already written, at the moment, damaged and defective electric vehicles are often brought to Ukraine.
