The electric vehicle market in Ukraine is in a state of turbulence. On one hand, information has emerged about the support for an amendment to the state budget that extends the exemption for EV imports from VAT and import duty until 2027. On the other hand, the head of the tax committee, Danylo Hetmantsev, categorically refutes this information, calling the amendment temporary and stating it will not pass the second reading.

The argument “against” is the potential loss of UAH 30 billion for the budget and the army. The argument “for” is the stimulation of decarbonization, the development of charging infrastructure, and energy independence.

Energy Club is gathering key market players, lawyers, and analysts to understand:

  • What are the arguments of both sides in parliament?
  • What consequences await the market in both scenarios?

We invite importers, dealers, charging infrastructure operators, and everyone shaping the future of Ukrainian electromobility to an expert discussion.

Discussion Points:

  1. Legal Status Quo: What actually happened in the Verkhovna Rada? What is the legal status of amendment #1061 after the vote? Is it a technical error or a legitimate decision that the government must take into account?
  2. Arguments “FOR”: What is the economic and energy impact of extending the benefits? To what extent does stimulating EV imports promote the development of related markets (charging infrastructure, services, used car market)?
  3. Arguments “AGAINST”: The argument about the UAH 30 billion loss for the budget. How accurate are these calculations? Will the cancellation of incentives truly lead to filling the budget, or, on the contrary, will it “kill” the market, resulting in no revenue at all?
