BERLIN taz | At the track record for E-mobility the German Federal government wants to count the successor to the legendary Messerschmidt cabin scooter, the so-called light electric vehicles. A bonus as with the purchase of an E-Car, you don't want to pay. The German Bundestag member Stephan Kühn (Green) criticized. "It is absurd that the electric is to easy to Deposit vehicles on electric mobility objectives of the Federal government, but in the promotion of outside," said Boldly to the taz. According to the objectives of the Federal government, by 2022, one Million electric vehicles onto German roads, including the E-Mini cars.

The Companion the was intermediate between E-Bike and E-car as before the Messerschmidt-Kabinenroller, a blend of motorcycle and car. Most of the models are not built from smaller producers and, with the exception of Renault – of the big car companies.

the advantage of The small E-vehicle: they take up little space, and the dam thus reducing the risk of are far more environmentally friendly than a conventional Car, protecting the driver inside in case of bad weather and are more comfortable than a wheel. Nevertheless, the paragraph decreases. From the answer to a question of Daring to the Federal government show that in 2010, 14.380 electric light vehicles registered in Germany. The number decreased continually since then, in 2019, it was only 1.260.

unlike the purchase of E-cars or hybrid vehicle, the Federal government has no incentives for the purchase of the Mini-four-wheelers. Buyers of new electric cars or Hybrids – which are both electrically and with nitro engine on-the-go – since 2016 a so-called environmental bonus of 6,000 euros, the scheme was extended in November until the end of 2025. One half of the premium for the state, the other the manufacturer pays.

The NRW-government aims to pure E-car manufacturer in the payment of premiums

grounds, and not the promotion of light electric vehicles that "have a structure established on the basis of their Price in a competitive market". The Mini-cars generally cost far less than a Car, usually a few thousand Euro. In this respect, is no market failure, which would have to be offset by a state grant sun "". This assessment could change now. "The eligibility for this class of vehicle, within the framework of the environmental bonus is still under consideration", - is spoken in the answer of the German Federal Ministry of transport on Kühn's question.

"transport Minister Scheuer has to open the purchase premium finally for light electric vehicles and in return for the ecologically-harmful Plug-in Hybrids, to delete", asked Boldly. In some countries and communities there is already funding models, where a Federal government could Orient-wide premium.

Also, the NRW Minister Armin Laschet (CDU) calls for improvements in the premium. He wants a pure E-manufacturer is relieved. The premium was "a challenge, as they have in the absence of a broad product range, is no way to compensate the own contribution to the environment award" from the state Chancellery of NRW. Just Start-ups like e. GO Mobile and street scooter in NRW or the Sono motor in Bavaria, have driven the development of E-mobility.

The government set for talks on the future of the automotive industry in the Chancellor's office for exceptions. "How these exceptions look carefully, you will be part of these discussions," the spokesman said. Laschet have also spoken with the German Finance Minister, Olaf Scholz (SPD), the wool press for a solution.
