Germany to Give €1B Electric Car Subsidy
What annoys me about this plan is that every hybrid car is eligible. There are some hybrids that can barely drive 10miles on electric and thus never get charged by the owners (because installing a charging spot can be really expensive) and yet the cars count toward a total maximum.<p>Hybrid cars should either have their own maximum limit (after that limit the subsidy ends) or every manufacture should have their own limit (like it is in the US, the first 200k electric cars get the $7,500 off for every manucature). This would make sure that 90% of those cars are not hybrids that can barely drive 10miles on electric and people have a chance to get the subsidy when the bolt and tesla model 3 are available (I think the model 3 will not be available without reservation before the end of 2019). Currently, there are no purely electric cars that don&#x27;t suck (the Nissan Leaf has a range of 100miles and looks kind of funny and is incredible expensive for what it has to offer; the model S&#x2F;X are excluded from the subsidy because they are considered luxury cars).
