What will actually happen to our state coffers if there is too abrupt a focus purely on the electrification of mobility?
Quite simply, there will be a lack of money for other important government investments and tasks. 🤷
The reason: the state collects considerable sums from the transport sector – for example through energy and vehicle taxes as well as other levies.
In contrast to the combustion car, the e-car has so far contributed little to government revenue due to politically desired preferential treatment. On the contrary: the state has had to invest heavily. Reason: CO2 reduction to meet our climate targets.
But if you look at the carbon footprint of the e-car across the entire production chain and add the fact that existing diesel vehicles can already be operated easily, effectively and quickly with renewable fuels such as HVO and eFuels in a significantly more climate-friendly way, this different, state taxation can hardly be justified any further.
Not to mention the EU ban on combustion engines that is still in place.
The Bundestag elections are on February 23 – everyone can make their contribution to a turnaround on this issue!
