Owner of the Tesla Model S fined by Singapore authorities for exceeding the CO2 emissions standard
Ilon Musk has already discussed what happened with the Prime Minister
In the United States and some other countries, an electric vehicle purchaser receives tax benefits from the federal government in the amount of $ 7,500. In Singapore, these benefits are higher - as much as $ 10,800. Joe Nguyen, a Singaporean, paid about $ 51,000 for Tesla Model S, buying an electric car in Hong Kong. Then the electric car was transported to Singapore, where the new owner filed documents for tax benefits.
It also took time to legalize the car in Singapore, it took about two months. Two months had to wait because earlier Singapore regulators did not carry out the assessment and testing of Tesla cars. Upon completion of this process, Ngayen received a $ 11,000 fine instead of tax breaks. The reason is the excess of the emission standard, namely CO 2 . And this is not a mistake, since Singapore takes into account not only emissions directly from the exhaust pipe, but also incidental factors. In this case, CO 2 emissions into the atmosphere were taken into account during the production of the amount of energy needed for an electric vehicle.
According to regulators, the Model S uses 444 watt-hours of energy (watts / km) for each kilometer. At the norm for Singapore, each In every hour is about 0.5 g of harmful emissions (CO 2 ). Thus, Tesla accounts for 222 grams of CO 2 per kilometer. By the way, according to official data from Tesla Model S, it uses about 210 W⋅h of energy per kilometer. How the energy costs were calculated the regulators do not disclose.

Ilon Musk immediately after he learned about the problem, contacted the Prime Minister of Singapore, with whom he had a good relationship. The Prime Minister paid a visit to Tesla's Gigafabrika last month.
Now the owner of the electric vehicle, who graduated from Princeton University and has a degree in mechanical engineering, is trying to figure out the situation.
