Daimler CEO Ola Källenius welcomed statements by the Berlin Ampel Coalition on electric cars.
"The first time I skim through the coalition agreement, I like three numbers: 15 million electric cars, 1 million charging points and 80 percent renewable energies," said Källenius on Wednesday evening, as his company announced in Stuttgart.
These are concrete goals for 2030.
Stuttgart - This would support the change in the automotive industry.
The traffic light coalition had previously announced, among other things, that it wanted to accelerate the expansion of the charging infrastructure for electric cars.
The focus should be placed on fast charging infrastructure, according to the coalition agreement presented by the SPD, Greens and FDP.
The goals of the Berlin coalition correspond to the strategy at Mercedes-Benz, said Källenius.
“So even more cars can become electric and electric cars really green.
Higher investments, faster approval procedures and a digital awakening in the state, economy and society will also do us good. "
