The German government said last year it wanted to see 1 million electric cars on the road by 2020, but this week, he conceded that the goal is probably out of reach of media commentators claim that powered cars battery is too expensive and don t have a long enough range to make them attractive to consumers.
Electric cars were intended to ensure the cleanest cities in Germany, but costs remain high and disappointing sales.
The electric car is perfectly in terms of the German government to leave the dirty world of fossil fuels behind the middle of the century A little it a year ago, Chancellor Angela Merkel has set a bold goal to increase the number of electric cars in the country to 1 million by 2020, but today there are only 4,600 to lead on German roads, a simple 0 01 percent of all cars registered, despite years of This search for a high-voltage success story.
German drivers do not want electric cars, and it is not difficult to understand why no part of the problem is that most e-cars can t travel more than 100 kilometers 62 miles before needing a price charging, too, can run up to 10 000 13 000 more for an e-car than one with a traditional internal combustion engine.
On Monday, Merkel held a meeting with the heads of major German car manufacturers, including BMW, VW, Porsche and Daimler, to talk about e-cars She admitted that, from today, it wouldn t be easy to meet the government goal and 600,000 electric cars by 2020 is more likely that the Chancellor noted that technological advances, these numbers could change rapidly for the better.
The country has already pumped 500 million of state aid in the promotion of electromobility as part of its fiscal stimulus during the global economic crisis in 2013, Berlin should provide additional billion in financing research and development projects, however, the Chancellor refused to offer incentives or tax breaks to fuel consumer spending on electric cars, saying it won t happen during the current government term with shaking belt and the rescue of the euro fiscal plan, there's more competition today for financing during this time, Angela Merkel's transport minister, Peter Ramsauer, and Economy Minister Philipp Rösler refused support incentives to the buyer programs, arguing that road repair and construction should be considered a priority.
Among the business leaders who came to the Chancellery, CEO of Daimler, Dieter Zetsche, was the only one to turn in an electric car was it symbolic of the lack of enthusiasm of German automakers for vehicles with batteries Zetsche told German public broadcaster ZDF that Berlin would be happy if she manages to get 500 000 to 600 000 electric cars on the road by the end of the decade as other auto executives, it also calls for the purchase of incentives such as those sponsored by the French and American governments.
Members of the Green Party in Parliament argued Monday that a purchase subsidy could be made possible by repealing tax breaks for large gas consumers and company cars If we don t create incentives, then everything goes fail, the party in a statement Others are less convinced of the effectiveness of incentives for consumption, arguing that they benefit those who are already thinking about buying an electric car.
On the editorial pages of Tuesday, some of the major German newspapers address the issue of e-cars Most agree the commitment to promote clean vehicles has not met expectations Some not blame both the government and automakers.
The electric car is a good idea, even if the car industry doesn t seem to think these days But skepticism prevails leaders of the automotive industry complain that e-cars are too expensive and technically complex development customers want not not just buy because of their high price and low range people shouldn t be false hopes here - it will take some time proof is the recent announcement by Toyota that it has stopped development of pure electric vehicles things aren t going well when it comes to electric cars, and it is not only due to a lack of enthusiasm in the automotive industry the force of inertia is strong in addition, the industry has more on the pistons and the four-stroke engines it made on the electric technology as it isn t clear today whether they will be able to recover the billions that are invested in the car of tomorrow risks are enormous.
German industry doesn t work together enough on the question Whether automakers or utilities that are supposed to provide power tomorrow, they work just after another and not all the idea of international cooperation n exists even after years of debate there aren not even common technical standards for electronic cars in the European industry leaders instead called repeatedly on government subsidies and incentives for subsidized consumption.
The conservative Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung writes.
There will be no government subsidy for the purchase of electric cars for the time and good thing the goal of getting 1 million electric cars on the road by 2020 can be achieved without the help of State manufacturers must make cars fueled by cheaper battery and extend their driving range, then there will be enough buyers willing to pay out of their own pockets.
A million electric cars by 2020. The target set by Chancellor Angela Merkel can not be reached, the Government of the E-mobility strategy failed Electric cars are too expensive - a small car costs at least twice more than a comparable gasoline leads the range of 150 kilometers more is not big enough and there is no infrastructure for charging batteries that doesn t mean the electric car died on the contrary, the future to battery powered vehicles.
But new targets are needed now for the automotive industry and they must be independent of the technology is more logical to impose significantly tougher CO2 emission limits Scientists have confirmed that the current pan-European rules emissions have a very big impact fuel consumption and therefore CO2 emissions can already be cut by one quarter with technologies that have been developed a tougher limit could smooth the way for natural gas as a propellant that was long neglected by automakers and more ambitious requirements, automakers would also have to redouble efforts in electric mobility parallel to the electricity use from renewable sources.
