Weil demands tax reductions for electric car buyers
The Prime Minister of Lower Saxony, Stephan Weil, continues to press for new government support for the purchase of electric cars. The abolition of the purchase premium was "definitely a big mistake," which has resulted in a significant decline in sales, said the SPD politician in an interview with the "Neue Osnabrücker Zeitung".
"We absolutely need a government incentive to buy an electric car again," Weil demanded.
This does not necessarily have to be a return to the old purchase premium. Tax reductions are also conceivable for him. "Private electric car customers could then deduct a certain portion of the purchase price over several years and thus have a tax advantage." One way or another, there needs to be a financially noticeable signal for people that the state is continuing towards electromobility and wants to help citizens in the process. Already at the end of September, Weil proposed a tax reduction for the purchase of electric cars, without specifying the size of the discount.
With regard to the savings plans at the crisis-ridden car manufacturer Volkswagen, where Weil sits on the supervisory board, the head of government renewed his appeal to settle the dispute over savings and a new collective bargaining agreement before Christmas. "This can and should – if at all possible – be achieved," said Weil. "Those involved in the collective bargaining negotiations should not leave hundreds of thousands of people in uncertainty about their professional future and that of their families over Christmas and New Year's Eve." IG Metall calls for warning strikes today at nine of the ten German Volkswagen locations.
