I've just moved to Norway from the United States, and I was considering buying and importing an e-Golf from home. The US has some really good tax incentives for buying an electric car, you can get about 75.000, NOK off your income taxes at the end of the year. And that's on top of the already somewhat lower retail price, about 249.000, NOK for the fully loaded model. If I've done the math correctly the car would cost me 190.000, NOK in total. (That includes shipping and Norway's import fees)
The e-Golf is a new addition to the US car market, dealers just started getting their first shipments a couple months ago, and right now it is only being sold in certain states. So I'm thinking I might be one of the first to do this. But if anybody else has looked into doing this/has done this or knows of any issues I might encounter I would really appreciate the advice.
Some potential problems that popped into my head:

Some potential problems that popped into my head:
- The charge plug? VW's US website says it uses the "Combined Charging System" or CCS.
- The license plate size is different
- Warrenty
