In Bulgaria, electric cars have a somewhat similar cost to the US. One of the most widely offered EVs in the country is the BMW i3 which is available for about 25,000 to 35,000 BGN (Bulgarian Lev).
In many of the Western European countries, there are incentives and tax rebate programs to help cover the cost of electric cars. For Bulgarians, there are no such programs available yet. With no incentives and as one of the lowest income countries in the European Union, it makes it difficult for many Bulgarians to choose to drive an electric vehicle over the more affordable traditional fuel cars.
This year, the Bulgarian government has been focusing on building charging infrastructure for EV drivers with hopes to have 10,000 chargers in the next 5 years. Additionally, the Bulgarian government is looking to create legislation that would encourage more people to drive EVs.
