On the taxation of electric car charging in Finland 

Petition addressed to: Petitionsausschuss des Europäischen Parlaments

The petitioner deplores the taxation of electric car charging at the workplace introduced by Finland on 1.1.2019. In his view, this is not conducive to a better climate policy because it discourages the purchase and use of electric cars. He also deplores the hefty taxation of low-emission gas vehicles, which discourages their purchase, and a high propulsion tax on diesel cars, which encourages their owners to drive rather than use public transport or bicycles.
