Forum Mobilität Dresden

Electric cars must rapidly increase their market share to achieve greater climate protection in transportation. However, sales of electric cars in Germany fell sharply in 2024. Only around 380,000 pure e-vehicles were newly registered over the course of the year. This corresponds to a decline of more than a quarter (almost 27.5 percent) compared to 2023. Chinese car manufacturers have left German manufacturers behind - partly because the latter have only half-heartedly tackled the transformation to electromobility. The result: plant closures and job cuts. The car nation is obviously unfamiliar with electromobility. So will Germany remain a country of combustion engines forever?
