Are actual EV sales numbers reflecting this, in Germany?
- swiftcoder 2y agoDespite their loud complaints about electric cars, yes. EVs sales are rising rapidly, and account for >30% of new car sales in the past year (and that's not counting PHEVs)
- generic92034 2y agoIn the past year EV sales went very well, agreed. But recently I am seeing articles like this one: https://www.tagesschau.de/wirtschaft/unternehmen/vw-elektrostrategie-100.html https://www.tagesschau.de/wirtschaft/unternehmen/vw-elektros... A sharp decline in EV sales for Volkswagen, so they are asking for subsidies.
- pfdietz 2y agoBattery prices are falling very quickly this year, so EV sales globally are set to explode.
- generic92034 2y agoThat might be the case, but currently EV prices are generally still significantly higher than ICE car prices of the same class, hitting a slow economy in some EU countries. Maybe Chinese EV can fill that gap.
