Reformatted to be more legible and some notes added.
VAT is the largest item here, but others are potentially worth quite a bit too.
Taxes:
No purchase/import taxes (1990-) - would be 25% VAT, plus 2,400 NOK (260 USD) scrap duty tax, greenhouse gas tax for a/c of around 730 NOK (80 USD)
No annual road tax (1996-) - would be approximately 2960 NOK (350 USD)
50% reduced company car tax (2000-2018), 40% (2018-) - company cars are provided as a benefit taxed at around 30% of list price otherwise, however there are reductions of 25% for all vehicles over three years or cars used for work driving of 40,000km per year
Exemption from 25% VAT on purchase (2001-)
Exemption from 25% VAT on leasing (2015)
Tolls and Fares:
No charges on toll roads or ferries (1997-2017) - typical ferry fare for a fjord is around 100 NOK (11 USD), tolls are around 20 NOK (2 USD), so this could be a significant benefit if living near a toll road or ferry crossing
Maximum 50% of the total amount on ferry fares for electric vehicles (2018-)
Maximum 50% of the total amount on toll roads (2019)
Parking:
Free municipal parking (1999-2017)
Parking fee for EVs was introduced locally with an upper limit of a maximum 50% of the full price (2018-)
Bus lanes:
Access to bus lanes (2005-)
New rules allow local authorities to limit the access to only include EVs that carry one or more passengers (2016)
Vans:
Fiscal compensation for the scrapping of fossil vans when converting to a zero-emission van (2018)
Allowing holders of driver licence class B to drive electric vans class C1 (light lorries) up to 4250 kg (2019)
