Breitbart: German Drivers Giving up on Electric Vehicles, Data Shows
In Germany, a significant number of electric vehicle (EV) owners are reverting to internal combustion engine (ICE) cars, with one in three switching back this year. The decline in EV adoption is attributed to lifestyle incompatibility and the recent removal of substantial subsidies for new electric car purchases.
Despite plans to phase out ICE vehicles by 2035, only 3.6% of ICE drivers switched to EVs this year, while 34% of EV owners returned to gasoline cars. The situation poses challenges for German automakers heavily invested in EV technology, compounded by competition from cheaper Chinese imports.
