The German government, despite the decline in sales and the renunciation of incentives, continues to maintain the objective of circulating 15 million electric cars in Germany by 2030. "We continue to maintain the objective of 15 million electric cars" even though "we know that it is an ambitious goal," an executive spokesperson said during the press conference, responding to a question about cost reductions in the Volkswagen administration and rumors about the impact in Germany of the job cuts announced by Elon Musk for Tesla. "But now it's about creating and offering an attractive environment for electromobility. And one success factor is certainly the charging infrastructure, which we are continuously expanding," added the spokesperson. "Since the establishment of this government", essentially in 2022, "we have doubled the available public charging points, now reaching over one hundred thousand. In addition, we are creating a thousand rapid charging points in motorway rest areas". "Regarding purchase subsidies," the spokesperson further said, "we don't see it as the state's job to ensure attractive offers. It's the industry's job to provide attractive vehicles. And the auto industry is working on this, and we are confident that" the "German one will offer and is offering very attractive proposals".
