Habeck is making people sit up and take notice with his statement about electric cars. The traffic light government had stated in its coalition agreement that Germany would become the lead market for electromobility.

“Our goal is at least 15 million fully electric cars by 2030,” the contract officially states. In mid-December 2023, the state subsidies abruptly stopped. Since then, the market has not developed as planned. The expansion of the associated infrastructure in Germany is currently only growing slowly.
