Overview
Germany is heavily subsidizing the purchase of electric vehicles (EV) and the construction of infrastructure for EV. New EVs are also exempt from the vehicle tax. Beside this, companies placing fossil fuels on the market must fulfil a greenhouse gas reduction quota.
The share of renewable energies in the transport sector is expected to be 13 % in 2025 and 27 % by 2030. -
