$72k co2 tax! That's epic, this is how you deprecate ICE vehicles.

That's a specific car but if you are interested you can use the government calculator and do your own numbers:

Is the co2 tax only applicable to imports?

I don't believe Norway has an indigenous car manufacturing industry, at least not one that makes ICE cars, so all cars are imported.

So is there no co2 tax paid on used vehicle purchases?

I'm mostly curious how this impacts lower income folks who won't likely be able to afford a shiny new EV.
