Germany considers boost to EV incentives
- Germany is expected to make a decision by the end of the year if it will provide major incentives for the electric vehicle industry to reach a goal of one million EVs on German roads by the end of the decade.
- The nation faces some pressure from an European Union mandate to help automakers cut vehicle fleet emissions to 95 grams/km by 2021.
- "Germany will have no choice but to offer further support (for EVs) although we've already done some things," noted Chancellor Angela Merkel at an EV conference
