On the taxation of electric car charging in Finland 

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.
