If you know of other national or local incentives that should be included in this section, please send us an email and let us know.

Purchase subsidies

Liechtenstein does not offer any direct purchase subsidies for electric vehicles.

Registration Tax Benefits

Electric vehicles benefit from a significantly lower import tax rate of 2.3% compared to the standard rate of 7.7% for gasoline-powered vehicles. This can translate to substantial savings, especially for high-value EVs.

New BEVs purchased after July 1st, 2022, enjoy a 50% reduction in motor vehicle tax for the first five years of ownership. This reduces the ownership costs but doesn't offer complete exemption.

VAT Benefits

No VAT reduction.

Local incentives

Several municipalities in Liechtenstein offer free parking for electric vehicles in designated parking zones.

Some express lanes on major highways might be accessible only to electric vehicles, potentially saving significant time during peak hours.

AF Infrastructure Incentives

Liechtenstein is actively investing in expanding its public charging infrastructure, making it more convenient to own and operate an EV.
