E-cars on the rise: Germany's switching rate doubled!
Something is happening in the area of electromobility in Germany! Two years ago, the electric car purchase bonus was canceled, and many thought that was the end of electric vehicles. But quite the opposite: popularity for electric cars is increasing rapidly. Loud Northern Courier In the third quarter of this year, 6.2 percent of car buyers decided to switch to battery-powered vehicles. That is more than twice as much as at the beginning of 2024, when the switching rate was at a low point.
“We are experiencing a new surge in the spread of electric cars in Germany,” explains Jörg Rheinländer, board member of HUK Coburg. He attributes the positive development, among other things, to growing interest among buyers. The market leaders in motor vehicle insurance are well positioned with over 14 million insured vehicles in Germany and are monitoring the trends closely.
Regional differences and new funding
Large regional differences within Germany are particularly noticeable: Lower Saxony and Bavaria lead the switching rate with over 7 percent, while in some eastern German states such as Saxony-Anhalt or Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania the numbers are below 4 percent. There is still some catching up to do here!
In order to further boost e-mobility, the federal government is planning new funding for electric cars, which could also focus on used battery vehicles such as the one ZVW reported. This could make the switch even more attractive, as the classic purchase premiums will no longer apply from 2025 and buyers will have to rely on other advantages.
Diverse funding opportunities for everyone
If you are interested in an electric car, you don't have to look into the tube. Tax advantages and regional programs offer numerous opportunities. There are already great offers, such as social leasing, which make access easier for low-income households. Vehicle leasing could be possible from just 149 euros per month, with integrated maintenance and insurance included - making e-mobility more affordable for many.
Regional funding varies greatly: In Bavaria, companies can receive funding of up to 4,000 euros, while in North Rhine-Westphalia there is even up to 8,000 euros for commercial fleets. Different cities offer additional benefits such as free parking and access to environmental zones.
So if you're thinking about switching to an electric car, you should definitely take advantage of all options. According to that eMobility Magazine A combination of subsidies and tax savings can make savings of over 10,000 euros possible when switching to electromobility. The time for the change could hardly be better!
