Only one in five Germans is considering switching to an electric car

While sales of new electric cars plummeted in Germany during 2024, the latest figure shows that only one in five Germans is considering an electric car.

While electric cars have a significant impact on new car sales both here and in Norway due to support schemes, things look different in Germany.

After the country's government removed the subsidy scheme for new electric cars in December, sales have plummeted, so much so that more electric cars are currently being sold in England.

That said, not many Germans are actually considering an electric car, according to a poll from Mobile.de.

The car portal has asked 2,914 Germans what their next car will be. And here the attitude is clear. While just under one in five (18.1 percent, ed.) is considering a pure electric car, one in three says that within 10 years they could consider an electric or hybrid car.

And that's not the only thing Germans have to say about the electric car. 50.3 percent of those surveyed are directly against the ban on the combustion engine from 2035.

On the other hand, there is a big difference between age groups. 39.2 percent of drivers between 25 and 34 years old support a ban, while that figure is only 15 percent for those over 55.

However, there is broad agreement that the ban on the internal combustion engine will not come to fruition. At least not in 2035. In fact, a full 76.5 percent of those surveyed believe that it is a goal that the EU can easily ignore.

Something else that respondents can agree on is that there should be better conditions on the roads. Also for public transport. 51.3 percent want better public transport, while only 28.7 percent want more and better opportunities to charge electric cars.

Some drivers who are also not enthusiastic about electric cars without support are the Swedes. Sweden already removed the state support for new electric cars in November 2022. And has since refused to reintroduce the scheme.

Conversely, the price of gasoline in particular has plummeted. This is because the government went to the polls specifically to lower fuel prices. Today, Sweden has the second cheapest gasoline in Europe.

In fact, it is only in Greenland (which geographically should not be considered Europe, ed.) and in Lithuania (which should be, ed.) that gasoline is immediately cheaper.
