From September there will be a number of new laws and changes. There are three innovations for car owners – digital vehicle registration, changes to e-car subsidies and the new Euro 6e standard.
• Digital vehicle registration, new EU emissions standard and canceled e-car subsidies
• E.ON announces price reduction
• Coca-Cola announces price increase
Vehicle registration goes digital
A new regulation that will come into force on September 1, 2023 will make it possible to apply for vehicle registrations online via the existing i-car portals of the federal states. In contrast to previous procedures, citizens no longer have to wait to receive the physical vehicle documents and stickers. Instead, they are allowed to drive for up to 10 days without these documents, with the digital notification of admission serving as sufficient proof. This means that, according to the Federal Ministry for Digital Affairs and Transport (BMDV), vehicle owners can immediately take part in road traffic after the new digital registration. dr Volker Wissing (FDP), Federal Minister for Digital Affairs and Transport, explained: “With our new regulation, we are making approval more digital, faster and cheaper”.
E.ON lowers prices
According to reports from the German Press Agency, Germany’s largest energy supplier E.ON has announced that it will reduce electricity and gas prices on September 1, 2023. According to dpa, the company has not yet provided any more precise information about the exact scope, but a company spokesman stated that E.ON will reduce prices for millions of electricity and gas customers. This is good news for consumers who, in the course of the recent fluctuations, have been confronted with sometimes high additional payments.
E-car funding only for private cars
From September 2023, state subsidies in the form of the environmental bonus will only be granted to private individuals. According to the new funding guideline, which has been in force since January 1, 2023, commercial vehicles will no longer be funded from September 1. It is also planned that the funding will be reduced further from 2024.
New Euro 6 emissions standard
It will still be some time before the planned introduction of the Euro 7 emissions standard. Nevertheless, a further development of the Euro 6 emissions standard, known as Euro 6e, will come into force as early as September 1, 2023. According to information from ADAC, the first stage (EA) of this new standard stipulates that from September 2023 newly approved passenger car models and all vehicles registered for the first time from September 1st must meet the requirements of the first stage. According to ADAC, the Euro 6 standard includes adjustments to the measurement uncertainty for RDE measurements (Real Driving Emissions) and a further reduction in the agreement factors.
ELSTER introduces automatic deletion
There will also be a change at ELSTER, the online portal of the tax offices, from September. How t-online reported, ELSTER users have already been informed in an e-mail from the portal that from September 18, only the messages that are really needed will be stored permanently, such as transmission logs, digital notifications and other data on the notifications.

According to ELSTER, if users need messages, they should be downloaded before September 18, since then the deletion of messages for which the storage period has already expired will begin.
Deadline for hardship fund application expires
