Germany: 2026 electric car purchase incentive exceeds expectations
In October 2026, demand for Germany's electric car purchase incentive (E-Auto-Prämie 2026) exceeded forecasts, with income conditions and the application procedure clarified for motorists. The vehicle purchase support scheme is maintained, much to the satisfaction of Volkswagen customers. In early November, a report presents the electric car models that benefited most from the incentive in Germany. According to the German press, the scheme benefits Chinese brands and draws customers away from Volkswagen, Opel and Mercedes-Benz.
