HUK Survey: Speed of Transition to Electric Cars Halved
The pace of switching to electric cars in Germany has halved since the federal purchase subsidy was stopped, according to an analysis by HUK Coburg. In the fourth quarter of last year, the number of pure electric cars increased by only 0.1 percent compared to the previous quarter, the lowest value since the end of 2020. A year ago, the growth of electric cars was still at 0.2 percent.
Only just under four out of a hundred choose an electric car
In October 2024, according to figures from the Federal Motor Transport Authority, just under 1.6 million fully electric cars were registered in Germany. The outgoing traffic light coalition actually wanted to bring 15 million fully electric cars onto the roads by 2030, but in December 2023, due to their budgetary issues, they stopped the so-called environmental bonus for electric cars.
The basis of the new edition of the annual "E-Barometer" from HUK is the company's own data stock, which is the market leader in the sector in Germany with almost 13 million insured vehicles.
According to this, in the last quarter of the previous year, only just under four out of a hundred car owners opted for a purely electric car when purchasing another vehicle - whether new or used - with the rate standing at 3.9 percent. At the beginning of 2023, it had been almost seven percent. The figures refer to purely electric cars in private ownership, and vehicles registered by companies and car rental companies are not counted.
Starnberg Leads
The record holder for the switch to electric cars was not a big city but the very wealthy district of Starnberg on the outskirts of Munich, with a rate of 8 percent last year. Some other districts also had above-average shares of electric cars.
According to HUK, this could be because there are more single-family homes with private charging stations in rural areas than in large cities. However, the development in the 20 largest German cities is not uniform: The highest conversion rate was 4 percent in Frankfurt in 2024, while the lowest was 2.3 percent in Dresden.
Large Part of the Population Has Not Yet Driven an E-Car
Apart from that, electric cars still divide opinions according to the accompanying survey: 45 percent rated electric cars as "good" or "very good", 47 percent as "less good" or even "not good at all".
Accordingly, personal attitude is greatly influenced by one's own experience: people who neither own an electric car nor have ever driven one gave significantly poorer assessments on average than those with e-car experience - and the group that has not yet come into contact with electric cars made up a large majority of 68 percent.
“Acceptance Depends on Personal Experience”
Of the 30 percent who have already driven or own an e-car, the majority gave a positive assessment, and among the owners, it was even 82 percent. The survey institute YouGov surveyed over 4,100 participants aged 16 and over in November.
