How can one justify in Sweden that total subsidies for public green energy initiatives being approximately 8.2 billion SEK per year? Electric cars at market price typically cost an average of 500,000 SEK which is above household budgets.

How can one justify in Sweden that total subsidies for public green energy initiatives being approximately 8.2 billion SEK per year? Electric cars at market price typically cost an average of 500,000 SEK which is above household budgets.

CONCLUSIONS:

Sweden’s population is about 10 million - compared to 330 million in the USA. So this initiative in Sweden is costing about $82 per person per year. Which is about 0.17% of each person’s income.

Average salary in Sweden is SEK 481, 200 which is about $48,000 US. The average salary in the USA is $59,428 - .

Let’s say you have 3 separate manuscripts and send 1 of them to 12 different agents (4 read same copy). Now let’s say 2 agents each liked separate manuscripts and want to move forward. What would you do as far as transparency and negotiation?

But the Swedish government’s expenditure on green energy initiatives doesn’t seem too outrageous.

I agree that the price of EV’s in Sweden represents a larger percentage of average income than in the USA. Probably because Sweden doesn’t make their own EV’s and importing such things isn’t cheap.

500,000 SEK for an EV is $50,000 US…that’s about the cost of a mid-range Tesla Model Y in the USA,

If Russia needs the resources to fund the war in Ukraine, why doesn’t it throw open its doors to visa free western tourism? Enough people would be interested, & it would start to get some hard currency as €, CHF, £, SEK, $, JPY in the tills at shops.

And the 8.2 billion SEK spent on public green energy is about $820 million US.

So - since not many people here know much about Sweden’s economics - let’s do a quick translation into US dollars. The conversion rate is about 10 SEK to the dollar.
