Germans switch massively from electric cars to combustion engine-an alarming trend!

Berlin, Deutschland - The debate about electric cars in Germany is increasingly heated. According to a recent survey, many drivers turn away from electric vehicles and return to conventional combustion engines - a trend that can hardly be ignored. According to the data from HUK Coburg, the largest German car insurer, around 34 percent of electric owners decided to switch back to a diesel or petrol engine in their next car in the first nine months of this year.

The reasons for this U -turn are diverse. One main factor is the elimination of state funding premiums, which not only makes it difficult to switch to electric cars, but also negatively affects the perception of electric vehicles. Last year, the quota of the change to burns was still 28 percent, which shows that this trend increases in pace. The uncertainty among the buyers of electric cars is growing, and the decline in the changes in combustion to electric cars is alarming: This year only 3.6 percent of those insured took the step towards electromobility, while this value was still 40 percent higher in the last quarter of the previous year.

The traffic light government is aiming to ban the sale of vehicles with combustion engines by 2035. However, the previous progress reveals doubts as to whether this ambitious goal is realistic. Trust in e-mobility is strongly struck, and the car manufacturers who rely on electric vehicles are faced with a further sales crisis.

A significant part of the population - according to the survey 29 percent - would only choose an electric car under compulsion. For 45 percent, combustion engines remain an option, while only 18 percent of the view is that only e-vehicles should be considered when buying a new purchase. This skepticism is also supported by the current market situation, since the proportion of electric cars in the entire vehicle population in Germany is only 2.9 percent.

An interesting aspect is the difference between owners and tenants. While homeowners have 4.1 percent of electric cars, the value in tenants is only 1.3 percent. This is often due to the fact that many tenants have no access to charging options, which significantly influences the decision for an electric vehicle.

Public opinion on electric cars is also divided: 47 percent of the survey participants rate e-cars as less good or even bad, while only 46 percent have a positive opinion. A third of the respondents are also not ready to pay a higher price for an electric car compared to a burner. Only 19 percent would be ready to pay up to ten percent more, while 33 percent would even accept a surcharge of over ten percent.

The pricing of the electric vehicles remains another obstacle. Often these vehicles are significantly more expensive than their counterparts with diesel engines, which deteres many potential buyers.

It remains to be seen how this trend will develop and what measures are necessary to regain trust in electromobility. A deeper analysis of the background and the potential effects on the auto industry could be revealing to rethink the strategies for the future development of vehicle purchases in Germany.
