Bundestag Approves E-Car Subsidy Program Starting January 2026
The German Bundestag has announced a state subsidy for electric vehicles, set to launch in January 2026, with applications available from May 2026.
The subsidy will range from €1,500 to €6,000, contingent upon household income limits of €80,000 annually, or €90,000 for families with two children. The Green Party criticized the inclusion of plug-in hybrids and range-extender vehicles in the subsidy program, arguing that it creates misleading incentives. The details of the subsidy do not require parliamentary approval.
