the Interest in buying a subsidized bikes have been great. The environmental protection agency has by now paid out 97 000 premier, thus contribution, to the electric tvåhjulingarna.

But it has not been problem-free. First, it became known that a number of cases of suspected benefit fraud was discovered, which TT have written about in the past. Now it has also been shown that the technical system has not been so smart.

it was discovered that a hundred people applied for the discount for e-bikes with a tremendously high purchase prices. The audit found among other things several electric bicycles registered with the purchase price of 999 000 sek, though the actual price was 9 900 sek. The new elcykelägarna seems to simply have sluntit on the keys.

Fantasisummorna slipped through the system, with the result that the paid premium was too high. The premium shall be equal to 25% of the purchase price, up to 10 000 sek.

He has gone through all the applications based on the very high inköpssummor. The approximately hundred people who seem to have made a typo, and not intentionally tried to be fooled, have already received a recovery.

And in the future? They assigned the money to the elcykelpremie this year is over, so it has not been possible to apply after 19 October.

– And I can’t read it now placed the budget in any other way than that the contribution to electric vehicles will not be left in 2019, ” says Tomas Hallqvist.
