Importing 2 thousand EV with no infrastructure

In the decision made by the Council of Ministers, two thousand passenger cars with a priority of electric and hybrid vehicles with a commercial profit of 1% will be imported and cleared.
Khodrocar - At the same time, there are rumors about the approval of a special permit for the import of two thousand passenger cars with a commercial profit of 1% to the police force by the Council of Ministers. Not long ago, the economic officials of the government spoke about the lack of foreign exchange resources for car imports and allocating limited resources to car imports. They did not consider it a rational thing.

In the decision made by the Council of Ministers, two thousand passenger cars with a priority of electric and hybrid vehicles with a commercial profit of 1% will be imported and cleared.

This is in a situation where the import of used cars with zero kilometers has not entered the operational phase yet, and the head of the budget program organization has announced the allocation of foreign currency to the import of cars for public use in the past days to the detriment of the economy.

The commercial profit of imported cars for the police force is set at 1%, while the lowest commercial profit of imported cars for the use of ordinary consumers is 11% (related to electric cars) and the highest is 171%, and the government officials are trying to reduce the tariff amount. which they have determined.

Not long ago, Hasan Karimi Senjari, the director of the electrification project of the Ministry of Industry, in an interview with Khodrokar, announced the ministry's proposal to reduce the import tariff of electric cars to 4%, while before this, the import tariff of this category of cars was zero to 4%. In the latest decision, the government increased this tariff to 11%, and now, with the allocation of a new rent to a military body, these cars are supposed to be imported with a 1% tariff.

This is while it is mentioned in the Council of Ministers' resolution that this military body will be allowed to import electric and hybrid cars with this amount of tariff, each of these cars has a separate tariff.

In this situation, the question arises that when it is possible to import and reduce the tariff, why was such a possibility not provided in the days when the market was facing a crisis of car shortage and false demand to quench the thirst of the car market?

Couldn't the government, with a little appeasement and waiving of such revenues by reducing tariffs and facilitating imports, pour water into the thirsty lips of the car market, so that the real consumer who had to buy a car, doesn't have to pay billions?

A look at the government's approvals shows that there has been a history of this type of decisions many times before, but the government has prevented peace from returning to the economy by ignoring them and not taking timely decisions.

Apart from this issue, the issue of not having the necessary infrastructure ready for electric cars is also a serious challenge and a big question is whether the current infrastructure is ready for the arrival of two thousand electric cars? This is when these cars are imported for an organization such as the police force, which has a lot of surveys, and naturally, charging once a day does not meet this need!
