The German government passed a €1 billion incentive package today that should result in subsidies of €4,000 for pure EVs in Germany. Their goal is to deliver one million EVs on German roads by 2020.

As you may know, GM will be selling a version of the Bolt in Germany as the Opel Ampera-e. This news should mean that many more Ampera-e units will be sold, which might lead to some more German members joining us!

This is a step in the right direction and on top of the incentive, buyers will be exempt from paying vehicle tax for ten years. Out of that €1 billion, €300 million will be used to further expand the Germany's charging network.
