Can this car get in?

Rules and sources

The largest Chinese-EV market in the Nordics. Outside the EU customs union, so the EU's 17–35% countervailing duty does not apply, and customs duty is 0%. BEVs: no VAT on the first NOK 300,000 (about $28,500) of the price, 25% above it; the registration tax is the weight item only (defaults to 1,900 kg, about NOK 17,800). Cars with a combustion engine (petrol, PHEV, range-extender): full 25% VAT, and registration tax = weight + combustion-engine weight surcharge (NOK 260 per kg above 1,200 kg) + CO₂ + NOx — a 1,600 kg, 150 g/km petrol SUV pays about NOK 279,000 (about $26,500), more than the car itself, so petrol and PHEV are practically unviable in Norway. Kerb mass and CO₂ are defaults — replace them with certified values. The BEV VAT relief tightens in 2027 and ends in 2028.
