VM Survey: Only a Brief Lull in E-Mobility

Clear vote from our users: The current dip in electric car sales is considered by the vast majority to be only temporary. However, a third of them also see the possibility that the electrification of mobility might generally fail.

E-mobility is currently experiencing a lull and is being criticized and doubted by many, with parts of the political landscape, especially the FDP and CDU/CSU, and even the EU Commission questioning the phase-out of combustion engines by 2035 once again. Manufacturers like Porsche, Mercedes, or Audi are downplaying their recently highly ambitious electric plans, and rental companies like Hertz and Sixt are already phasing out electric vehicles from their fleets. This is hardly a tailwind for electromobility. Our obvious question of the week was therefore: Is the electrification at risk of failing? Indeed, a good third believes: "Yes, there is a danger, parameters such as electricity price and urban charging infrastructure do not fit" (34%, 34 votes). In contrast, only 9% (9 votes) voted for "maybe, if the politics do not now set a mix of incentives".

But the vast majority is optimistic and convinced of the superior technology in terms of efficiency, environment, and performance. They believe: "No, this is just a dent. Advantages in efficiency and ecology are imperative, the climate crisis is urgent and Chinese brands are on the rise." And they confess: "Once electric, never a combustion engine again! 57% (57 votes). A total of 100 votes were cast on this important issue."
