German Chancellor Olaf Scholz has called for a continent subsidiary aimed at selling more electric vehicles across Europe.
Plan to drive-up EV sales won't at the cost of jobs in the automotive industry the chancellor has promised.
“We need incentives to buy electric cars – as a European bonus or as direct support for electric cars made in Germany,” Scholz said on social media after a visit to US automaker Ford’s factory in Cologne.Scholz made the call as campaigning got underway ahead of an expected snap poll in February, brough on by the collapse of the government last month.
New help to buy for electric cars has been a key ask for manufacturers, who saw sales suffer after the government ended a subsidy programme at the end of last year.
