Grants supporting the purchase of electric cars in Iceland will be reduced at the beginning of next month, according to RÚV English. The move is expected to affect grant amounts given to buyers of new electric passenger vehicles across the country.
The changes will lower the grant offered for electric passenger cars by ISK 100,000. The total value of the grant after the reduction has not yet been confirmed.
Car dealers have told RÚV that they expect an increase in sales in the coming days as customers move to complete their electric vehicle purchases before the reduction takes effect in early November.
