Germany already a leading e-car producer 鈥� report
The current narrative that Germany鈥檚 mighty car industry has failed to jump on the electric mobility bandwagon at the right time is a distortion of reality - and the country is on track to become a leading producer of electric vehicles, Christoph M. Schwarzer writes on Zeit Online. 鈥淢ost e-cars in Europe are sold by BMW, Daimler or Volkswagen,鈥� Schwarzer says, which effectively makes Germany 鈥渢he leading producer鈥� on the continent. Absolute e-car sales figures are still modest, but soaring growth rates show that the sector is set to quickly gain in importance. 鈥淭he greatest threat to long-term success is not Tesla, but Chinese manufacturers,鈥� Schwarzer says, adding that only four percent of e-cars in the world鈥檚 largest car market are made by foreign producers. However, 鈥渢he idea that Germany鈥檚 car industry lags behind in e-mobility is not sustained by the facts鈥�, he says.
