The year 2020 was the starting point for the system change in the automobile.
Exactly 194,163 all-electric cars were newly registered in Germany by the end of December.
There are also over 200,000 plug-in hybrids, i.e. cars with combustion engines and electric motors.
In some federal states, every sixth new car sold had an electric motor.
In fact, given the abundant government subsidies, buying an e-vehicle is now worthwhile for some groups of motorists, if not for everyone. WELT has calculated where the assumption of an expensive electric car is still correct - and where it is not.
