Hundreds of kilometer status registred

At the end of the year, a kilometer fee will be introduced for the use of electric, hydrogen, and plug-in hybrid vehicles. Owners of such vehicles can now register kilometer status on Ísland.is My Pages and in the Ísland.is app. The registration opened on the 18th of December 2023 and in the first days around 400 owners had already registered the kilometer status of their vehicles. Feedback from users on the registration process has also been positive and constructive and has already improved the process.
