Federal Council Initiative: Lower Saxony aims to achieve affordable electricity prices for vehicles

The state of Lower Saxony is launching an initiative in the Federal Council for affordable and reliable charging electricity prices. A corresponding cabinet decision was made today, as announced by the Lower Saxony State Chancellery. "As long as electromobility is sometimes even more expensive than driving with combustion engines, the switch is not appealing to consumers," criticized Transport Minister Olaf Lies (SPD). 

Better framework conditions are needed. Not only should the prices for e-cars be appealing, but also the charging electricity prices. Price stability is particularly important. "The charging electricity price must be designed in such a way that it offers two advantages over fossil fuels: it saves money and benefits the climate," said Lies.
