“E-cars remain exempt from taxes”

Süddeutsche Zeitung

The German parliament's finance committee has decided to extend motor vehicle tax exemptions for e-cars for five years in order to push sales of the technology, reports Süddeutsche Zeitung. The committee also agreed that e-car drivers can charge their vehicles at the workplace without being taxed on it. The parliament will vote on the measures today. The government introduced a buyer’s premium for e-cars in the spring, but sales have remained sluggish.
