VAT is 25%!!! Wow Many of the ongoing exclusions have run out, like the road tax. Tolls and ferry fees are now half rather than free. So Norway is not so much different from the US. They have purchase incentives and some minor ongoing savings on tolls, but charge a road tax. |

Isn't it still the case that with taxes something like a Volkswagen Passat is nearly as expensive as a Model 3, in Norway. I seem to recall that "factoid" floating about, not sure if it's true or not. |
