What EV incentives does Israel offer for imported Chinese EVs? (2026)
Israel currently offers: A low EV purchase tax versus combustion cars — a major driver of Israel's EV boom. (Low EV purchase tax vs petrol.)
This sits on top of a base import regime of ~10–15% effective purchase tax + 17% VAT, which together determines your real landed price. EV incentives change frequently and often differ by region or state within a country, so treat the summary above as a 2026 reference point and confirm the current scheme for your specific case before you order.
