Abstract Cities are one of the main agents behind the introduction of electric vehicles. In Spain, cities could establish up to a 75% deduction on vehicle tax based on environmental issues. This paper analyzes those variables affecting the establishment of such a measure using the Probit model on a sample of 395 Spanish municipalities. The results show that the urban population, its dispersion, and the municipalities’ environmental commitment positively affect the establishment of such incentives, while the rural nature of the population and unemployment do exactly the opposite.
Highlights Local governments could implement various measures to promote electric vehicles. We analyze the main drivers affecting the establishment of a deduction on vehicle tax. We describe the behavior of local governments in Spain with regards to this measure. An urban population, its dispersion, and environmental commitment have a positive effect. A rural population and unemployment have a negative effect.
