BERLIN (dpa-AFX) – The Union and the SPD are planning new, targeted purchase incentives for electric cars. A funding program is planned, especially for households with small and medium incomes, to support the switch to climate-neutral mobility and the use of emission-free vehicles, as can be seen from a resolution by the coalition committee. The goal is “noticeable benefits for consumers,” it was said shortly before a “car summit” in the Chancellery.
Billions of dollars are to be made available for the funding program by 2029. Specifically, the funds from the EU Climate Social Fund plus a total of three billion euros from the Climate and Transformation Fund are to be spent.
Previous general purchase premium ended in 2023
The Union and the SPD had named a number of projects in the coalition agreement to give greater impetus to the change to e-mobility. This also includes a “program for households with small and medium incomes” to support the switch to climate-friendly mobility. There is a leasing program in France. After a purchase bonus was abruptly stopped at the end of 2023, sales of electric cars plummeted.
For the time being, no agreed common line has been communicated by the coalition on how to deal with the ban on the registration of new combustion vehicles on the EU market from 2035. CSU boss Markus Söder said that everyone agreed that jobs should be preserved. There are still differences along the way. He emphasized that freedom of technology is needed. SPD leader Lars Klingbeil also made it clear that more flexibility was needed./sam/DP/zb
