How can one justify in Sweden that total subsidies for public green energy initiatives being approximately 8.2 billion SEK per year? Electric cars at market price typically cost an average of 500,000 SEK which is above household budgets.

Average salary in Sweden is SEK 481, 200 which is about $48,000 US. The average salary in the USA is $59,428 - .

I agree that the price of EV’s in Sweden represents a larger percentage of average income than in the USA. Probably because Sweden doesn’t make their own EV’s and importing such things isn’t cheap.

But the Swedish government’s expenditure on green energy initiatives doesn’t seem too outrageous.
