Finances - Kretschmann: End of e-car subsidy incomprehensible

Minister President Winfried Kretschmann cannot understand the abrupt end to subsidies for e-cars. "I can't understand why it was done so abruptly," said the Green politician in Stuttgart on Tuesday. In principle, however, it was right to abolish the subsidy. "It is of course clear that there can be no permanent subsidy for cars," said Kretschmann.

The Federal Ministry of Economics announced the abrupt end of state subsidies for the purchase of electric cars at the weekend. As of the end of Sunday, no new applications for the environmental bonus could be submitted to the Federal Office of Economics and Export Control(Bafa), as the ministry announced on Saturday. Grants that have already been approved are not affected and will be paid. Applications received by Bafa up to and including December 17, 2023 will continue to be processed in the order in which they are received. Anyone who has already bought a car but has not yet applied for a subsidy will be left empty-handed.
