Bundestag Approves E-Car Subsidy Program Starting January 2026
The German Bundestag has enacted a new subsidy program for electric vehicles, effective retroactively from January 2026.
The program allows for state funding applications for pure electric cars, plug-in hybrids, and range-extender electric vehicles, with subsidies ranging from €1,500 to €6,000 based on vehicle type and household income. Income thresholds for eligibility are set at €80,000 for single households and €90,000 for families with two children. The base subsidy for pure electric vehicles is €3,000, with increased amounts for lower-income households and additional support for children. The application platform is expected to launch in May 2026.
