āWe need a quota for electric carsā
Stuttgarter Nachrichten
German environment minister Barbara Hendricks has suggested a quota for e-cars might be needed to kick-start e-mobility. āI do not expect a sweeping ban on combustion engines. But itās well possible that we will need a quota for e-cars to manage a smooth transition,ā Hendricks told Stuttgarter Zeitung. āA quota would finally force the carmakers to offer models affordable to average earners.ā
Despite the introduction of a buyerās bonus, sales of e-cars remain sluggish in Germany.
