Argentina raises EV import tax exemption threshold to $35k as Tesla enters

Argentina raised the FOB value cap for duty-free imports of 100% electric vehicles from $16,000 to $35,000, a policy shift timed with Tesla's market entry. The measure lowers the cost barrier for higher-priced EVs, potentially accelerating adoption and reshaping the local auto market. Uncertainty remains over whether the exemption applies to all EV models or is tailored to attract specific manufacturers.
