- Germany has reached its target of having one million electric vehicles on the roads, local media reported on Tuesday.
“With one million electric cars on German roads, we have reached a decisive milestone,’’ German newspaper chain Redaktionsnetzwerk Deutschland quoted Peter Altmaier.
A decisive factor in the latest development was the introduction of a so-called innovation bonus as an increased subsidy for the purchase of electric vehicles.
The premium was introduced a year ago and payments were recently extended until 2025, the ministry said.
Mr Scheuer, minister of transport and digital infrastructure, aimed to have 14 million electric vehicles on the road by the end of the decade.
