Sweden invests 400 million kronor in electrification

The Social Democrats are allocating 400 million kronor for electrification in their spring budget proposal.

Of that money, 200 million will go to an electric-car bonus and 200 million to convert the heavy-vehicle fleet.

The party's economic policy spokesperson Mikael Damberg thinks the government's electric-car bonus is too complicated.

"With all the rules the government has set up, I don't think the money will be spent," he says.

According to Damberg, S wants to direct its support primarily towards households that "do not have such high incomes."

To counteract the effects of high energy prices, S also wants the government to introduce a strengthened short-time work system by June 1.

The party also wants the government to account for how it is working with socially critical activities and particularly vulnerable sectors.
