I was discussing with someone in Germany (when looking for a car) about the plugin hybrids and how a lot of companies here buy them for the low taxes and subsidies and then use them almost exclusively as standard ICE cars or to the minimum possible in E mode as the infrastructure is not there yet and in the end, why bother any more? you got the tax cuts and subsidies...
- llampx 6y agoI also live in Germany and the last Firmenwagen I was assigned (this year) was a diesel Passat. A PHEV would have been an improvement. Its a chicken vs egg situation. If they had given me a PHEV, I would barely have been able to use the battery mode because of the lacking infrastructure and defective Ladesäulen (charging stations) everywhere. However a few colleagues of mine have houses and garages, and for them it would have made a lot more sense. However all of us needed to cover long distances for client visits and thus, BEVs aside from Tesla LR models were totally out of the picture.
