New Tax Breaks for Electric Cars in Germany
In a bid to stimulate the sluggish electric vehicle market, Economics Minister Robert Habeck has announced forthcoming tax breaks aimed at boosting sales of electric cars in Germany. This initiative is part of a broader growth strategy and will be discussed in the cabinet this week. Habeck emphasized the automotive industry’s critical role as a cornerstone of Germany's industrial landscape, highlighting the importance of major manufacturers like Volkswagen as key employers and drivers of innovation. Amidst concerns about declining registrations of electric vehicles, which fell by over a third compared to last year, the government remains committed to supporting the transition to e-mobility through both demand and supply-side measures. The minister criticized opposing political voices, asserting that consistency in policy is vital for maintaining investor confidence and competitiveness against global markets.
