i think hybrids should not receive any subsidy,as many,if not most people don’t charge their hybrid cars
however,they are soon going to decline
In Norway ,hybrid sales are falling as electrics are taking over the entire market

Great to see
I hope they will finally increase the charging stations
It feels already way to overcrowded around the few public Charging stations
I would like to see the export rates. Nowadays there is dealers offering you to drive an electric car 6 month for free, just to sell them to Norway afterwards. Electric Cars are subsidized in Germany.
Well, that’s what giant subsidies do, particularly the triple-load of subsidies on privately used company cars.
I too would enjoy paying a measly €120 per month **all inclusive** for a brand new €60.000 BEV company car. With an id.3, my **total** expense would be €70/month.
But I’m not high-class enough to qualify for this countries’ various schemes to subsidize the upper crust.

Smart country
now if only electric was the messaiah politics make it out to be.
i bought a hybrid, hoping to reduce my carbon footprint a bit. I do not have electricity in my underground parking garage (would be extremely expensive to install), and i was expecting on charging whilst grocery shopping etc.
Well, turns out the car needs 3.5hrs to go from empty to full (for 40-60km electric range), there is no way to top up the battery to any meaningful level whilst shopping or eating outside. Now i have a car with 300 extra kgs in the trunk to haul around, which i drive on 99% fossil fuels.
It would have made much more sense to get a BEV, they charge much faster. my local REWE has 50kw chargers. charging 25-35kw whilst shopping would probably be more than enough to top up my typical weekly consumption.
Please, if you are thinking about buying a hybrid, make sure you can charge at home, otherwise i would not recommend it.
nothing beats not owning a car unless absolutely necessary
I only ever rent cars. Buying a car seems very inflexible.
But only because a lot of new cars (especially the high-powered ones) are hybrids.
And Mercedes, Daimler and Bosch pretty much completely abandoned electric/hydrogen cars and VW, who proudly anounced to abandon pertrol cars, now quietly started reversing that decision.
Is car usage/ownership going up in Germany? I’m worried that it will start becoming too car dependent.
Love my EV. Going back to a ICE car makes me feel like something is broken.
What’s the most affordable EV?
Fantastic! Driving an EV here is a breeze. I’ll never got back too an ICE.
this is what an accelerating S curve looks like.
and I like it.
Does hydrogen really only make up 0.7%? I expected it to be much more than that…
