German government offers subsidies for electrical
The German Government calls them “environmental bonuses”, but in essence they are incentives to buy electric vehicles, arguing that they are less polluting. To increase the demand for these vehicles, which are more expensive than its competitors with combustion engines, Angela Merkel's executive decided to increase the state's contribution by up to € 6,000. But German manufacturers will pay half of the "bill".
The investment by manufacturers may seem brutal, but the reality is that without it these manufacturers would be exposed to huge fines because of the difficulty of meeting the 95 g CO2 / km limitations imposed by the European Union. Hence, anything that leads consumers to buy trams, which helps lower the average emissions of the range, is extremely beneficial for German brands.
During the VW ID.3 start-up ceremony at the Zwickau plant, which will produce 100,000 vehicles by 2020 and increase to 330,000 from 2021, Merkel announced that it would create 1 million battery-powered charging stations by 2030, foreseeing a global investment of € 3.5 billion by 2035.
Germany is already the second largest European market for battery-powered electric vehicles, just behind Norway, which will soon surpass, after the incentives now announced next month.
Merkel is not only concerned with solving the problem of manufacturers, although the economy is overly dependent on their performance, such is their weight in society. The German executive also wants to avoid being controlled by the Americans and Chinese, for which he needs a strong and independent industry, which he supposes to be able to produce electric cars, but also batteries at both cell and pack level. And only with such a large sales volume is this goal achievable.
