We had similar here for a bit as part of the plan to EV the unwilling population. It did depend on the list price of the vehicle in question though. It was only on new cars and it was ultimately nixed on the basis it wasn't helping anyone that couldn't afford a car to buy one, only subsidising those that already could.

Our somewhat brain dead poli's can't make up their minds.

 Av> Certainly not saying the whole EV thing is for everyone but for folks

I can see there are going to be segments where it makes sense. On close inspection it doesn't appear to be the panacea that the electric utopians would have you believe though.  City, for cleaner local air, in smaller vehicles for shorter convenience drives. These appear to be things they do well.
