A Globally Acclaimed Electric City Car

State Incentives and Accessibility
On the local market, the Dolphin Surf highlights state incentives, including exemption from customs duties and consumption taxes, and limited VAT of 7% for electric and rechargeable hybrid vehicles. This enables the acceleration of the energy transition by making these vehicles accessible to all.
