At least that's what the government's alleged considerations envisage.

The EU-wide ban on combustion engines has not even been properly decided yet, the federal government is said to be working on

further tightening

for cars with petrol or diesel engines.

The federal cabinet is said to be dealing with the question of whether conventional cars should be taxed more heavily than before.

This is reported by the "Handelsblatt".

Economical cars should therefore be relieved, and

electric cars could even receive a bonus

.

are not touched.

Tax rewards and penalties could be an effective means of persuading as many drivers as possible to adopt electromobility before the deadline.

The financial support for electric cars, which the Federal Minister of Finance and combustion engine fan Christian Lindner (43, FDP) questions, could turn out to be a point of contention.
