Electric cars and the olim benefit: what you need to know

Electric cars are already taxed less in Israel for everyone. For an oleh, the gain from the benefit is therefore small or nil on an electric car, whereas it can reach several tens of thousands of shekels on a petrol or hybrid car. Since the benefit only applies to one car per household, it is often better to use it on a hybrid or petrol car. We work out the exact figure for the version you are interested in.
