  In order to achieve the objectives of decarbonising transport in Slovenia, by meeting
  the indicative targets of the TGP OP and implementing Slovenia''s domestic commitments
  and obligations under international agreements and EU legislation, it will be necessary
  to change the structure of the vehicle fleet in Slovenia by 2030. The share of alternative
  fuel vehicles will have to increase significantly in both passenger cars and commercial
  vehicles, as well as in buses for public passenger transport. Only a sufficient
  number of alternative fuel vehicles will allow sustainable business models for infrastructure
  deployment and management.

  The optimal scenario of the Strategy for the Development of Transport in the Republic
  of Slovenia until 2030 foresees an increase in the share of alternative fuel cars
  in the total Slovenian car fleet to 20% by 2030. By achieving the targets set under
  the optimal scenario, Slovenia will meet its commitments in the field of transport.
  However, if Slovenia is to be among the leading countries in green mobility, we
  would need to follow a scenario that foresees a 37% share of alternative fuel cars
  in the passenger car fleet by 2030. This means that in 2030, the share of these
  vehicles would be 81% of all newly registered vehicles at the time of first registration,
  with 79% being electric cars and 2% hydrogen cars.

  When designing the measures for the introduction of electric vehicles in transport,
  we had reservations when preparing the Action Programme on Alternative Fuels in
  Transport, which you also mentioned in your initiative, so we limited the direct
  incentive measures with subsidies to a period of time when electric vehicles cannot
  yet compete on price with vehicles powered by internal combustion engines.

  As regards your initiative on the future of electric vehicles and the promotion
  of their use in the public sector, we would like to inform you that when modernising
  their vehicle fleet, public sector entities take into account the requirements of
  the regulation governing green public procurement.

  In the mid-term review of the implementation of the measures set out in the Action
  Programme on Alternative Fuels in Transport 2018-2020 (Action Programme), which
  was carried out by the Ministry at the end of 2019, we note that the implementation
  of the objectives set out in the Strategy on the Development of the Market for the
  Establishment of an Adequate Infrastructure for Alternative Fuels in the Transport
  Sector in the Republic of Slovenia (the Strategy), adopted by the Government of
  the Republic of Slovenia on 12 October 2017, in particular in the field of the use
  of electric vehicles, is significantly lagging behind the objectives of the Strategy
  and the Action Programme. Therefore, we are currently considering additional measures
  to promote the use of alternative fuels in transport, rather than reducing the subsidies
  available when purchasing a vehicle. We will continue to evaluate and adapt our
  measures to the market and the situation on the ground.'
