Costa Rica, a country known for its commitment to environmental sustainability, is set to impose a higher sales tax on electric vehicles. The move is part of a broader effort to boost government revenue, but it has sparked concerns among eco-conscious citizens who see electric cars as a key component of the country's transition to a greener future. The increased tax is expected to impact the affordability of these vehicles, potentially slowing down the adoption of electric cars in a country where they have gained popularity in recent years. As Costa Rica aims to become carbon-neutral by 2050, the decision has raised questions about the government's priorities and the long-term implications for the country's environmental goals.
