One sixth of Germany鈥檚 e-car buyer鈥檚 premiums used up two years after launch
Germany has granted about 100,000 million euros in subsidies to e-car buyers over the past two years, merely one sixth of the total sum authorities have earmarked for helping e-mobility get off the ground in the country, the Federal Office for Economic Affairs and Export Control (BAFA) says in a press release. 鈥淎s things stand today, we can expect that the sum will be sufficient for the remainder of the support period,鈥 said BAFA president Andreas Obersteller. In the two years since the government launched the so-called buyer鈥檚 premium, Germans have bought just over 66,000 e-cars using a government grant of 4,000 euros per vehicle maximum, the BAFA says. It adds that the average price was 28,100 euros for e-cars and 39,500 euros for plug-in hybrids.
