In order to boost the sluggish demand for electric vehicles to government and auto industry have agreed to purchase premiums. As the German Press Agency reported after car summit at the chancellery late Tuesday morning, there should be for pure electric cars subsidies of 4,000 euros, for hybrids with complementary engine 3000 Euro. Previously there was a purchase premium of € 5,000 for all-electric cars in the area.
The targeted volume of funding pot apparently remains at 1.2 billion euros. As expected, the Federal Government and the producers want to share half each. Premiums should be possible only for models with a list price of a maximum of 60,000 euros for a basic model. An electric golf for instance, has a list price of just 35,000 euros in the base version. In addition, the expansion of charging stations should be promoted with 300 million euros. These sums were so in the discussion draft, the present Tagesspiegel.
Finance Minister Wolfgang Schäuble (CDU), Economy Minister Sigmar Gabriel (SPD) and Transport Minister Alexander Dobrindt (CSU) will inform on Wednesday together on the details. In chancellery had advised on Tuesday night, the CEOs Harald Krüger (BMW), Dieter Zetsche (Daimler) and Matthias Müller (VW) with Chancellor Angela Merkel (CDU) and several ministers.
Merkel had long avoided making clear in the call premium. The SPD advocated a “moderate buy premium” as an incentive. As a condition but was called that the carmaker pay half the cost and luxury cars are excluded.
The dispute about the future of electric mobility makes meanwhile for entirely new coalitions. Suddenly unequal organizations such as the Wildlife Protection Society of Germany found so (Nabu), the Taxpayers Association, the Economic Council of the CDU on the same side. Green and business associations of renewable energy are not so far away. They all sit there – albeit with different arguments – from that the community of taxpayers industry helps billion euros, electric vehicles for sale
Large abdominal pain in the Union Group
. especially in the Union has abdominal pain. “There are serious reservations in our parliamentary group against a call premium,” said the CDU / CSU parliamentary leader Volker Kauder after a group meeting on Tuesday. There, about ten are said to have addressed by 15 speakers’ contributions on the subject to subsidies. Kauder pointed out that would have to decide at the end of the Bundestag. The CSU party chairman Gerda Hasselfeldt spoke of reservations in the CSU party. Unions economist Joachim Pfeiffer warned of “deadweight”.
In the Green in opposition one is for years in principle for sales incentives. “The agreement must not be at the expense of the budget but” demanded the deputy faction leader Oliver Krischer. “There is no reason why all taxpayers must share the premium. would consistently to refer to the holders of more than motorized fuel guzzlers to finance this premium, “he demanded.
Unique to the premium you are at the Association of Taxpayers. The goal of the federal government to 2020 one million electric cars driving on German roads will not work with a “subsidy program”. “A purchase premium in accordance with planned economy de luxe will not merge desire and reality,” says President Reiner Holznagel. He wished more composure – and time
The supporters: Without incentives is not
On the other side sit the federal government and the auto industry.. After years of controversy it is on this side agree that the goal of bringing 2020 one million electric vehicles on German roads is not impossible to achieve financial incentives and other measures.
“If we want to achieve the 2020 target, you can not get around monetary incentives, “a representative of the National platform for electromobility said Tuesday. The Agency’s mission, the initiatives around e-mobility to coordinate and monitor. Have you two years ago thought that tax incentives such as special depreciation could boost sales of electric vehicles, it is now certain that there – as in France or the Netherlands, for example – need purchase premiums. One reason may be the sharp fall gasoline prices that have made the acquisition of conventional vehicles relatively attractive.
Even with the Berlin Agency for Electromobility, which has activities in the capital region in view, one feverishly on Tuesday. 63 companies, a total of 450 players would work in Berlin and Brandenburg intensively on the topic – with success, said a spokeswoman. Nowhere is the density of charging stations and electric vehicles is higher. Now it needs a boost. For the past year a reluctance of buyers was observed. Clear: Anyone who buys now an electric car without incentive if he still knows that he gets it thrown at 5000 euros in summer
