Many Germans regret buying or leasing an e-car, and Germans in general are increasingly reluctant to consider them.
Quote from an article posted online Merkur.dePower outage news report: “Half of German e-car owners regret buying or leasing.”
Apparently German e-car owners are frustrated, especially due to “increased electricity prices”.
Recently we report here that Germany’s e-car industry is “a crisis headed for disaster” and sales are plummeting.
In the first quarter of 2024, electric vehicle sales decreased by about 14.1% compared to the first quarter of 2023.
The electric car goal is now just an illusion
Meanwhile, sales of conventional motor vehicles have increased sharply over the same period. Based on Power outage news, the proportion of electric cars sold from all cars is only 12.2%. and the number of new e-car registrations in the current year is “significantly down”.
Overall, customers are still wary of e-cars and sales show no signs of increasing. This means that Germany will not meet its electric car target.
“In the long-term trend, e-mobility has always been in the minority, but now we have reached a new low,” according to Renate Köcher from the Allensbach Institute for Public Opinion Research.
