Electric Vehicles, Tax incentives and Emissions : Evidence from Norway / Youssouf Camara, Bjart Holtsmark, Florian Misch.

We use exceptionally rich data on the universe of cars and households from Norway, which has a very high share of EVs, thanks to generous tax incentives and other policies. Our estimates suggest that household-level emission savings from the purchase of additional EVs are limited, resulting in high implicit abatement costs of Norway's tax incentives relative to emission savings. However, the estimated emission savings are much larger if EVs replace the dirtiest cars. Norway's experience may also help inform similar policies in other countries as they ramp up their own national climate mitigation strategies.
