“The traffic light coalition pulls the plug on e-mobility”

However, this is a fallacy, warns Ferdinand Dudenhöffer: “The traffic light coalition is pulling the plug on e-mobility.” The reason for this is the long waiting times for e-cars and hybrids, says the automotive expert. “Anyone who orders an e-car or a hybrid today cannot foresee exactly when the purchase will take place,” explains Dudenhöffer. However, the premium can only be applied for once the purchase has been completed. Hybrid sales are already being drastically slowed down, since their subsidies will expire at the end of the year anyway, “and today no one can be sure whether a hybrid ordered now will also be delivered by then”.
