Electric Vehicles Take Charge in 2022

03:52am, Thursday, 24'th Feb 2022 Kiplinger
There is widespread consensus that the future, at least when it comes to what we drive, is electric. Carmakers have been falling all over each other with promised dates by which some or all of their offerings will be electric, or at least electrified in some way. But when is that future for you? Should you buy an electric now? A number of vehicles either for sale or coming to market in 2022 promise to shake things up. They’re neither tiny nor dizzyingly expensive, and they might tip the scales for some to try electric. For the people who would rather drink battery acid than give up their internal combustion engine vehicles, you can relax. We are, as one auto observer put it, living in a “golden age of choice”: Massively powerful muscle cars and electric vehicles with record-setting range and efficiency are both on the market. “People who are thinking, ‘Oh boy, I better go get my gas-powered V8 car now, or else tomorrow or next year I walk’—no, that’s not true,” says Matt Degen, an editor at Kelley Blue Book. “Gasoline combustion vehicles are going to be with us for a while, probably even decades.” What’s a Battery Electric Vehicle?

A bill of entry is merely an order of assessment and not an order of delivery of goods imported, and hence does not attract any levy, the Bombay High Court has clarified, granting temporary relief to Tata AutoComp Systems, which had approached the court to challenge the legality and validity of stamp duty on the same. The Court, in its ruling, has followed the stand taken by the Gujarat High Court in a decade-old case. The Tata Group-owned automotive component major had challenged the stamp duty on ‘Bills of Entry’ on import of goods.Currently, an importer has to pay a 0.10% levy on the total assessed value of goods, under the Maharashtra Stamp Act, on the Bill of Entry.
