German transport minister Volker Wissing has denied a media report that he plans to massively increase support payments for buyers of electric vehicles, arguing that his aim has been to achieve a turnaround in the transport sector through 鈥渕arket-based incentives鈥� instead. 鈥淣either do I want a scrap bonus [for old combustion engine cars] nor higher purchase premiums for electric cars,鈥� the minister from the pro-business Free Democrats (FDP)听聽on Twitter. A report published before the tweet had said Wissing planned to support electric car purchases with up to 11,000 euros over several years, a measure that an internal analysis found would cost the state more than 70 billion euros over the next years. However, Wissing said he was not aiming for a measure that would run against his party鈥檚 key transport policy promises. Other ministries and several NGOs have criticised the reported plans. Tagesspiegel that the Green Party-led economy and climate ministry has objected to the proposal, telling news agency Reuters that it was too expensive and ineffective. The Social Democrats (SPD) said such a move would not be covered by the government鈥檚 coalition treaty and no provisions had been made to alter the current support schemes, news magazine Der Spiegel .

The transport ministry is under pressure because the notoriously laggard transport sector exceeded the government鈥檚 climate targets again last year. As a consequence, the transport ministry must tell the economy and climate ministry how it intends to close the gap. The government agreed in its coalition agreement to phase out all e-car subsidies by 2025, and allotted a total of 5.9 billion euros for the support payments.
