Electromobility is booming: 15 million electric cars on the streets by 2030!

Vienna, Österreich - E-mobility in Germany is experiencing a rapid climb! According to the ministry, the e-mobility offensive in 2024 ended with around 25,000 subsidized charging points and 18,000 vehicles, which represents a huge increase compared to only about 9,000 subsidized vehicles and 2,000 charging points in 2020. In just four years, the number of applications quadrupled, over 160,000 funding applications for electric vehicles and charging infrastructure were made in five years. Around 62,000 private households benefited with electric vehicles and more than 51,000 wall boxes, while 53,000 vehicles were funded in the commercial sector. Ministry spokesman emphasized that in particular a recently discussed reduction in funding caused a rush to the registrations, as many wanted to access immediately to benefit from the funding, such as reported.

The Federal Government pursues the goal of bringing at least 15 million fully electric cars onto the streets by 2030. According to the latest figures (as of October 2023), around 2.11 million electric cars are currently approved, including 1.21 million pure electric cars and 903,000 plug-in hybrids. The funding program, which has made around ten billion euros available for around 2.1 million electric vehicles since 2016, was particularly successful. Due to a judgment of the Federal Constitutional Court on the climate and transformation fund, the funding was discontinued in December 2023, which illustrates the continued pressure on electromobility, since demand continues to grow rapidly. In order to advance alternative drives and the necessary charging infrastructure, the federal government plans the strategic expansion to one million publicly accessible charging points by 2030, such as Federal Government.de .

In addition, the Federal Government promotes innovative projects for battery added value to ensure a large -scale production of batteries in Germany and Europe. From 2022, the course for sustainable battery production is to be set, which is essential for the continuing success of e-mobility. The rail is also not neglected: the federal government aims to increase rail freight transport to 25 percent by 2030 and to double passenger transport. Investments in the necessary infrastructure should offer a climate -friendly alternative to the street and reactivate decommissioned routes.
