There is a single annual motor tax rate of €120 for a private electric vehicle.  In respect of electric goods vehicles, an annual rate of €92 applies to vehicles with an unladen weight not exceeding 1,500 kilograms. Hybrid vehicles are taxed on the same basis as private vehicles i.e. taxed on the CO₂emissions level of the vehicle for vehicles registered since 2008, and taxed on the basis of engine capacity for pre-2008 vehicles.  Rates range from €170 to €2,350 annually.
