In Germany, the state subsidy for EVs is coming to an end these days. As I wrote before, small Chinese cars will determine the EV market in Germany because the masses can't afford or don't want "better" EVs. In addition, there is the cheeky pricing policy: for a badly made, outdated VW ID3, you are supposed to pay 50,000 € in Germany, while the same car costs 16,000 € in China, but still nobody wants it in China. Of course I realise that VW can produce cheaper cars for the Chinese market in China, but the consequence will be that VW will only produce the ID3 or its successor in China and no longer in Germany. This is what is currently happening to all industries with our energy prices, taxes and labour costs. Those who literally have legs to run in the industry will run away.
