So it can be saved with the electric car

The skepticism of many motorists towards the electric car has meanwhile aware of a readiness to buy, with which was not expected two years ago. While the Federal Corporation Office (KBA) for November over the previous year's month 2020 shows a strong decline in passenger car new registrations (-31.7 percent), purely battery electric vehicles (Beds) have increased by 39 percent and already reach a market share of around one fifth (20.3 percent).

The reason is certainly the now broader offer. Also, the realization that friends or neighbors do well with a BEV should reduce reservations. And although the streamers are still relatively expensive, there are various savings:

Environmental bonus

The innovation premium granted jointly by the Federation and manufacturers has been extended up to date until 31 December 2022. Thus, buyers of E-cars can continue to take up to a net list price of 40,000 euros to 6000 euros from the federal government and 3000 euros net by the manufacturer, gross will result in 9570 euros. For models in the range of price spectrum between 40,000 and 65,000 euros, there are 5000 plus 2500 euros (7177.50 euros gross).

Also, the purchase and leasing young used electric car may be supported, provided that the first entry allowance has taken place after 4.11.2019, the vehicle was not allowed for more than 12 months to its first owner and has not yet been promoted.

Company car

Whoever uses his company vehicle private, must pay one percent from gross resistance prize as a monetary advantage. The BEV reduces this to 0.25 percent. Prerequisite: The gross resistance price of the company car is not higher than 60,000 euros.

Car Tax

Pure electric cars, which from 18 May 2011 to 31 December 2025 have experienced their first registration, are completely exempt from the car tax for a maximum of ten years. The regulation is valid until December 30, 2030. Those buying now can use the tax advantage for eight years.

Car insurance

A tariff evaluation of the Comparative Portal Verizon has shown that electric cars in the insurance up to one third are cheaper than comparable combustion models. Although the electricians are more expensive in the acquisition, the annual fee is up to 242 euros lower. To position themselves in the new growth market, some providers grant attractive discounts, says Verizon Managing Director Wolfgang Schultz. But that also means that the situation can change if electric cars become even more of the special — for the rule on the market.

Greenhouse gas reduction rate (THE)

A new savings possibility, which results from the beginning of the year 2022. Then private electric car owners or leasers can resell their saved CO2 emissions to mineral oil companies. You must comply with a specific THE quota, otherwise threatens punishments. In order to simplify the sales process, the individual quota certificates do not go directly to Shell, Aral & Co., but to mediators. They bundle the certificates and then transfer them together. However, a commission applies. Corresponding platforms such as Carbonize, Certificate or Manga Energy can be found on the Internet. The proceeds are market dependent, tending rising, as the Auto Club Europe (ACE) predicts. For 2022, annual premiums amounting to 250 to 350 euros.

Even private and commercial operators of charging points (wall boxes) can resell a THE quota.

Wall box promotion

Even until recently, the federal government supported the acquisition and installation of a private charging station with up to 900 euros, provided that the charging power was 11 kW, which came completely from renewable sources and an intelligent control was given. In the meantime, however, the promotional offer is empty, the Kreditanstalt fur Wiederaufbau (KFC, www.kfw.de) no longer accepts requests. However, it is conceivable that the quotas will be refilled again, so it is worthwhile to keep an eye on the situation. There are also regional programs that can be retrieved through conveyor databases on the Internet. Energy suppliers also provide grants.

Maintenance

Electric cars do not have the usual wearing parts such as gearboxes or timing belts, the frequent recuperating (brake energy recovery) results in the brakes less stressed. Even oil change and the exhaust gas test (AU) are eliminated, the service intervals extend.

Consumption

A VW Golf 1.5 TSI (96 kW / 130 hp) consumes WLTP standard 5.1 l S / 100 km, thus making 8.26 euros in a fuel price of 1.62 euros. The electrical counterpart ID.3 (107 kW / 146 hp) consumes 15.4 kWh to the distance, with a house cruise price of 0.32 ct / kWh corresponds to 4.93 euros. However, this can look different in public charging columns, especially fast loaders. And to be seen remains whether the state does not return the increasingly motivated mineral oil tax at some point at the power petrol station.
