The purchase premium for E-cars and Plug-in Hybrids, a massive subsidy for the car industry. With traffic turning and measures against the climate crisis, the up to € 6,000 of the premium for buyer does not have to do much – at least not in its current Form. Nothing illustrates this better than the bizarre fact that Hybrid vehicles are encouraged.

The approach of the cars have both an electric and a conventional burner-drive – are a metaphor for the ambiguity, with the industry and the Federal government in the transport and climate policy.

For Hybrid vehicles needs to be deleted, the purchase premium as quickly as possible. Because these carts are only seemingly environmentally friendly. Testimonials and studies show that many users will go inside as well as not electric, but almost always the gas engine to use. Whether it is at your convenience, or by the employer provided fuel cards, is indifferent.

It is a Farce, because that's the way these vehicles are used a lot are harmful to the environment than the simple classic gasoline or Diesel. Because you have to drive the heavy battery through the area, which increases the exhaust emissions.

Much more important than the promotion of such pseudo-solutions, the support of real Alternatives to the classic car transport is. Pure E-cars, but only the smallest-in E-cars and E-Bikes and conventional bikes, and cargo bikes should also not be forgotten. Why does not each and every one, and to abolish a car, a good bike as a gift?

half of The paths travelled by car are shorter than five kilometres. For such distances, neither an E-car is still a classic combustion-engine vehicle is required. Electric micro-cars, E-Bikes or wheels are exactly the Right thing to do. And Greater incentives for their purchase are not only good for the environmental balance, but also for the cities.
