Electric car subsidies to be reduced

Gunnar S. Eskeland: Taxpayers are spending a huge carrot on sugaring zero-emission cars. Alternative emission reductions are much cheaper, also in Norway.

His opinion piece Elbilstøtten skal ned (in Norwegian) was published in Dagens Næringsliv on 25 September, 2025.
