  4. Subsidyno direct subsidy for consumers in 2026, but reduced electricity tax for charging
  5. Road tax exemption for BEVs through 2026, phased in after. For lease drivers: 17% income tax addition for BEVs (2026, rising). Energy management (smart charging by hourly price or solar output) pays off strongly.
