Since July 1, 2018, Sweden has been running its own funding program for cars and light trucks / buses with CO2 emissions of a maximum of 60 g / km. These vehicles receive a climate bonus of 60.000 Swedish kronor (around 5.900 euros / June 2021) when they are newly registered. However, the upper limit of the climate bonus may not exceed 25% of the vehicle's value. For companies that buy an electric vehicle, the bonus may not exceed 35 percent of the difference between the price of a new car and the price of a comparable gasoline or diesel vehicle. The bonus is paid directly to the owner six months after the vehicle is registered, preventing the vehicle from being sold during this period. A special feature is that the bonus for every gram of CO2 above zero, for example in the case of hybrid vehicles, is reduced by 60 kroner up to 833g / km.
The climate bonus will no longer apply in 2023
Some tightening of the bonus-malus system for 2022 was announced in September. Further shifts in the car market can therefore be expected in the coming year. Already in the current year, every fourth newly registered vehicle was rechargeable. The support program for the climate bonus has now expired. Accordingly, the market will be rearranged in 2023 based on the price-performance ratio of BEV vehicles.
In Sweden the manufacturer Volvo naturally has a home bonus. Here are the most popular electric cars of 2023.

“60 percent of new registrations in August accounted for rechargeable cars, of which 41 percent were electric cars. Almost 7 out of 10 newly registered electric cars were for business customers. On the passenger car side, the factory delivery times are approaching the normal level with expected delivery times of 3 to 6 months. At the same time, new sales continue to be weak on the private market. That is about half the volume compared to the same period last year." (press release bilsweden)
