What government incentives are available for using solar powered vehicles?

Hello, friends of solar energy,
Various incentives were available in different regions for using solar-powered vehicles. The specific incentives can vary greatly depending on the country and even within regions in the same country. Here are some examples:
Tax Credits: Many governments offer tax credits to individuals who purchase solar-powered vehicles. In the United States, the federal government offers an Income Tax Credit for electric vehicles, which would likely also apply to solar-electric hybrid vehicles.
Rebates and Grants: Some governments provide rebates or grants to reduce the upfront cost of purchasing a solar-powered vehicle. For instance, in the European Union, several countries have schemes to incentivize the purchase of electric and hybrid vehicles, which would potentially extend to solar vehicles.
Reduced Vehicle Taxes and Fees: Some countries offer reduced vehicle taxes and registration fees for electric or hybrid vehicles, which would likely include solar-powered vehicles.
Subsidized Charging Infrastructure: Governments may also provide funding or incentives to build charging infrastructure, making it easier for owners of electric and solar-powered vehicles to charge their vehicles.
Other Incentives: There might be other incentives like access to carpool lanes, free parking, and exemptions from emissions testing requirements for owners of electric or solar-powered vehicles.
Please note that these are general examples and the specific incentives available can vary widely depending on the region. For the most accurate information, you should consult the appropriate government or regulatory body in your area.
Please also note that incentives are subject to change and it's important to check for the latest information as government policies and incentives can change over time.
