    Bundestag Approves Retroactive E-Car Subsidy Starting January 2026

    The Bundestag has enacted a law enabling state subsidies for electric vehicle purchases, retroactive to January 2026, with amounts ranging from €1,500 to €6,000.

    The legislation, titled “Law for the Promotion of Climate-Neutral Mobility,” was passed with support from the Union and SPD parties, despite opposition from the Greens, Left, and AfD. Consumers will be able to apply for the subsidy, which varies based on vehicle type and household income, once the necessary online platform is launched in May. The base subsidy for fully electric vehicles is set at €3,000, with additional amounts available for lower-income households and families, while plug-in hybrids receive a reduced base subsidy of €1,500.
