Electromobility is coming slowly, but it is coming

In 2009 there were almost a few 1,500 electric cars in Germany. A good decade later, according to the Federal Motor Transport Authority, around 309,000 electric vehicles are already in 2021. Not Tesla, but the Zoe von Renault was the most frequently registered electric car in Germany in 2020 with almost 30,000 new registrations (2nd place: Tesla Model 3 – 17.438). However, Tesla with his model 3 at the end of 2020 with around 813,000 vehicles sold in the ranking according to sales of electric cars in front of VW, SaIC and BMW. The Nissan Leaf follows in second place in a global comparison with almost 500,000 electric cars sold. Position 3 occupies Tesla Model S with just over 300,000 new registrations.

In 2020 there was a new record with almost 11 million electric cars registered worldwide. Eight years ago there were 250,380. That's a fifty-fold increase!

In addition to renewable energies, electromobility is one of the central building blocks, especially the European energy transition. But China is a miles ahead of the Europeans, in 2020 in China, the stock of electric cars would be over 5 million electric cars. This is almost three times as much for the second -placed – USA – in a global comparison. In China, an electric car quota came into force in China from spring 2019, which banned the production of automotive models with high fuel consumption. The manufacturers are therefore obliged to comply with a percentage of alternative drives in the production and sales of their vehicles. The Chinese automobile manufacturers in China dominate the market in the shop with electric cars. Foreign manufacturers are far from it. Many of the Chinese automobile manufacturers are hardly known in the western world.

Amount of the environmental bonus for the purchase of electric vehicles in Germany (as of June 10, 2020)

In order to further promote sales of electric vehicles, the federal government decided on a purchase bonus for electric cars in April 2016, which came into force in May 2016. Most applications for environmental bonuses have so far been for electric vehicles from the manufacturer VW. Renault and BMW followed in second and third place. Vehicles up to 65,000 euros can be funded. The purchase (purchase or leasing) of a battery-electric, plug-in hybrid or fuel cell vehicle that is registered for the first time and does not exceed a net list price of the basic model of 65,000 euros is eligible for funding.
