Statista trend report on the potential impact of electric vehicles on transport emissions in Germany
The German government abruptly rolled back its subsidy program for battery-electric vehicles in December 2023, around a year after it cut back on the environmental bonus given for the purchase of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles. In parallel, the federal government remained committed to its target of having 15 million battery-electric vehicles in circulation in Germany by 2030. Growing electric vehicle sales could contribute to the decarbonization of the country’s transport sector, which is the third-highest polluter behind the energy and industry sectors, and help Germany lower its environmental impact.
This report provides insights on the magnitude of this contribution through two scenarios. The business-as-usual scenario assumes a static market environment without involvement from the federal government or industry stakeholders. The exponential growth scenario, in contrast, assumes further intervention to boost electric vehicle adoption. The report also features a comprehensive overview of the current German electric vehicle market and analyses the factors impacting passenger car emissions.
