Habeck wants to trigger "demand-push" for electric company cars with special depreciation

(dpa) New registrations of electric cars have plummeted after the abrupt halt of the subsidy. The federal government now wants to counteract this - with company cars and with the help of a retroactive special depreciation.

The federal government wants to boost the demand for electric cars as company vehicles. Federal Minister for Economic Affairs Robert Habeck (Greens) pointed out that the federal government plans to offer better tax depreciation conditions for companies. Habeck said in Stuttgart that he expects a "demand push." After the cessation of state subsidies for the purchase of electric cars, new registrations have plummeted. The government now intends to counteract this. Measures from the planned growth package, which Habeck agreed upon with Chancellor Olaf Scholz (SPD) and Finance Minister Christian Lindner (FDP), are intended to serve this purpose.

 

For companies, a special depreciation for newly registered fully electric and comparable zero-emission vehicles is to be introduced retroactively from July 1. This is intended to make the purchase of the affected vehicles "significantly more attractive," as stated in a document. The special depreciation applies to new registrations until the end of 2028. Furthermore, for company car taxation on electric vehicles, the cap for the gross list price is to be raised from 70,000 euros to 95,000 euros. Habeck spoke of a boost to pull up the demand for e-mobility again.
