Performance Angst puts Germany eco-conscious electric cars.
Germany, the land of the diligent recyclers, is often praised for its eco-credentials, and his ambitious Energiewende, the government's plan to wean the country of coal and nuclear energy, however, to the extent that mobility goes, she's countries still stubbornly attached to its fuel-efficient cars last year, petrol-head of the nation was in part responsible for sabotaging its overall emissions of greenhouse gases.
Federal Environment Agency of Germany said in March that the country pumped the equivalent of 906 million tonnes of CO2 in the air last year, against 902 million tonnes in 2015 and blamed the vehicle the slight increase.
Many who is down for lorries transporting those products that keep Germany king of European exporters, but private cars are responsible for a piece of greenhouse gas emissions too 3 4 million new cars registered in 2016, only 11,000 were fully electric and 47996 were SUV hybrid and offroad segment saw meanwhile up 19 new registrations over the previous year to 715,268 German consumers Why so reluctant to ride edge of electric vehicles.
A recent WWF report German link Germany and renewable energy provider LichtBlick finds that Germany is far behind China and the US in electric transportation Ironically, it is the automobile nation Germany who sleeps in this development said Gero L cking of LichtBlick.
Why German consumers reluctant to board electric vehicles is all about RIP by Gregor Kolbe, transport and consumer policy expert at the Federation of German Consumer Organizations range, infrastructure and price.
Unfortunately, it is true, compared to other EU countries like the Netherlands and Norway, the Germans are very hard to buy electrical or hybrid cars, Kolbe said Quartz While electric cars can be enough to whizzing around the city, many Germans love their cars make weekend trips and vacations, which strongly influences their purchasing decision.
Germans are accustomed to jump in their car and drive 600 or 700, even 1000 kilometers without the need to fill the tank, and there is always a gas station nearby, he said realistically, the range of electro cars is about 150, max 200 kilometers and the concern of being stranded and not being able to go further is very important for consumers.
Although the German government committed $ 300 million to increase the charging station network, right now, it is incomplete and confusing, especially outside the main cities of the people who buy e-car for today most have their own facility charge at home, and are not so dependent on the public office structure, which is underdeveloped public charging stations are a mess of different ways to pay money to cards prepay options adding to the anxiety of drivers being stranded halfway.
Price is still a huge deterrent electricity is cheap right now, but electric cars are much more expensive than their diesel counterparts or gasoline and the government incentive of a discount when you buy a 4000 electric car It was a flop is simply too low for difference, for example, an electric costs VW Golf over 35 000 37000 while a standard cost of golf between 17,000 and 27,000.
Electric vehicles exemption decade of vehicle tax, the Germans pay once a year depending on the engine capacity, is hardly an incentive or it means saving about 50 per year to lobby the German automotive industry is incredibly powerful.
anxious drivers, distances and prices next to cars, the powerful German motor industry, itself celebrating a 2016 bumper Porsche has given its workers a bonus each 9111, has been relatively slow to make a serious commitment to e-mobility.
One reason is that the German manufacturers compared to other countries very successful, said Kolbe They have a good, very products on demand, and are extremely competitive, so the pressure on them to be active was not as great as on the French.
2015 Volkswagen scandal cheat emissions rocked the industry, but has not led to reduced emissions for the first time since 2007, Daimler failed to reduce its emissions of its vehicle fleet average in 2016 due to demand for sport utility vehicles research director Olaf K Daimler llenius told Handelsblatt link in German than trying to meet the regulations on the EU's climate to reduce emissions to 100 grams per kilometer of C02 by 2020 will a serious challenge.
Christian Hochfeld, director of Agora Verkehrswende think tank, told Quartz that its time for the automotive industry to worry, that the sector is on the verge of the biggest revolution since the invention of the automobile; and they certainly fear their traditional business model is at stake.
The lobby of the automotive industry is incredibly powerful really a surprise since the auto industry employs more than 800,000 people link in German in Germany and the major influence in Berlin Joachim Koschnicke new director Angela Merkel's campaign to the election in September, was formerly Opel's former Vice President of the European government Relations, one of the best lobbyists link Germany German for the automotive industry.
So far they've sold private cars based on combustion engines, and in the future, they will need as mobility providers, sell them on the basis of kilometers covered without emissions that's a huge challenge entirely again, says Hochfeld.
Of course, a simple speed limit on the German autobahn famous would also be a way to reduce the tons of greenhouse gas emissions from cars, but good luck as to officials of some of the fastest drivers in the world, or consumers who love them.
